Yes, are her games even good? Every game I played from this publisher is just riding the line of being boring only using cute girls to get you attention.

The first one is the only good one and even then it's more of a "wow this is very technically ambitious for the system and with a lot of creative ideas that didn't work out" kind of way

Since the third game reveals her hair powers are from her human side, he was probably giving Shantae's mom tentaclejobs with his hair or some shit.

Their core mechanic (transformation dances) is kinda really bad. The best game is Pirate's Curse, which completely replaces Shantae's moveset for plot reasons, making it actually fun to play.
the shantae games were never "good" but they were competent platformers for the most part. half genie hero is the only one I would call absolute dogshit because I hated how the stage format worked.

HGH is somehow both too short and overstays its welcome. They should've made more stages instead of twenty gimmick modes on same few stages.

The worst mistake they ever made was not sticking with risky's pirate gear. It is a million times more fun than her genie transformations and I think the devs really shot themselves in the foot by accidentally making the best game in the series
>indie direct thursday >0% chance of anything Shantae related being announced since Advance already has its release date announced >non-0% chance of WF announcing something dumb like a Marble Knights port or a trailer for SSSDX

She granted one wish at the end of pirate's curse that was to rebuild the town.
Either she has a hard limit at 1, or she just holds the wish power back because too powerful or something.

Pirates curse is the best and generally suggested for anyone wanting a metroidvania.
HGH is mediocre to garbage, SS is better overall but nothing extraordinary, GBC was good for its time/hardware, RR had a gimmick that could have been good but the entire game was trash
>>717370450
Risky's Revenge, Pirates Curse, and Seven Sirens are worth playing. The very first is trash and 1/2 Genie Hero is borderline trash. Harmony is best girl.

PC Is the only one that's considered to be actually any good. The rest of the games are very mediocre and only carried by the sexy women and music but clearly not enough since Wayforward is constantly needing Limited Run Games to get sales since none of their games get enough alone to keep the conpany afloat.
Everyone says Pirate's Curse instead but that's only because it's the one that most closely resembles other, better games. It's painfully generic and not better than any competing metroidvania. At least when you play the GBC one you are seeing something unique even though it's flawed
>>717370450 >Yes, are her games even good?
Honestly, not really. The first and third games are decent. Not good, but decent. Notable for being some of the few games to try and capture that style of Zelda 2. But otherwise, they're mostly just graphical tech demos with weak gameplay. Like most of WayForwards games. It says a lot that the best WayForward game is a remake of Duck Tales.
