unlabelledView post →Since it’s an older game, some aspects feel retro, simplistic, or even a bit inconvenient in finer details. However, even those unpolished elements were part of the experience, and I still enjoyed it. 샨테샨테.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Beautiful game Monster World IV! Loved playing it and happy we got to beat it today. Next one I think it’s between Cave Story, Wonder Boy in Monster World, Shantae Risky’s Revenge or Monster Boy and the Cursed Kingdom. I’ll think about it but if you have a preference let me know!
unlabelledView post →Name a cross-franchise team-up you'd like to see. I don’t know about you guys, but I would love to see a crossover game with Mario and Shantae. Maybe like a platform adventure, or an RPG style.
unlabelledView post →GAME #19 Shantae: 1/2 Genie Hero (7,5h) Not bad for my first ever Shantae game! Kinda expected it to be more of an action platformer and less of a "Metroidvania-light" game but oh well. Was still fun nonetheless 😌
unlabelledView post →Shantae: Risky's Revenge is a mediocre game, failing in many of the things it sets out to do. The game tries to reinvent the Metroidvania wheel with a poor layering system (where you can go to the "background" of the area and vice-versa) and a confusing map that attempts to follow the same logic. Furthermore, the maps of the interior areas are completely nonexistent, leaving you in the dark to explore these areas in a labyrinthine scheme, without a real sense of reward even after completing the…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →That awful first boss battle at the start foreshadows how mediocre this game's gonna be: passable level design, a confusing map, boring enemies and moveset, lots of dialogue with lots of jokes that may or may not land... I knew what I was getting into: some people recommend against starting with Risky's Revenge to get into the series, but I did anyway so I was willing to bear with some inconveniences and learn to enjoy the game, which I did to an extent. The graphics and soundtrack helped a…

Overall Rating - High Quality ★★★★☆ First Impressions With most of the Shantae series being available on Steam, I've acquired a decent number of those games, yet never actually played one before. Somewhat annoyingly, the first game isn't on Steam, but why not play the earliest title I have in my library, which would be…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Very lovely, adorable, attractive girls. A lot of charm in narrative and character design. The whole game gives a constant vibe of playful sensuality. Unlike most famous modern platformers, Shantae isn't so challenging and you don't need to be so precise in timing and movements, and enemy mechanics aren't complex and don't need much memorization neither. This is just an all around fun chill time. Except because you may need a guide for some puzzles, but with a guide you will traverse with no…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →As a long time Shantae fan, I can only ever recommend Risky's Revenge for a new player starting out from the beginning. Risky's Revenge did start a lot of the things we knew and love later, from the familiar artstyle to a lot of mecanical and narrative things (not everything of course, since we had the original before, but it definitely added even more AND locked in preexisting stuff). Unfortunately, the game itself is just… raw. Maybe not visually and in audio, but definitely in gameplay, as…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →6/10 It's an okaish short game with simple mechanics, tho sometimes it can get annoying with the backtracking It also has Shantae hi Shantae omg hi Shantae
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Shantae and the Seven Sirens (2019/2020) for the Nintendo Switch. The last chronological game in the series, and it's probably one of the better ones but there's a couple big asterisks next to that statement.
