스피드런 도전과제가 있으면서 불합리한 피격판정을 가지고 있다?
不知為何PS5版有中文但是PC版卻沒有,難道說PS5版的中文化是SIE自己的?
I like all the Shantae games I've played (I've played Risky's Revenge on Switch and Pirate's Curse on 3DS), and this is no different, I really like it
[h1]PROs:[/h1] ✅ Enjoyable art style and direction ✅ Catchy music ✅ Metroidvania-style progression with ability and upgrade unlocks ✅ NPC hint system if you get stuck ✅ Extra stories: Various challenge modes and alternative NPC-perspective stories (I only did Risky and Friends ones, as those seemed the most interesting) ✅ Extra story – Friends to the End: Puzzle/platforming sequences that were fairly enjoyable for the most part ✅ Extra story – Pirate Queen's Quest: Gameplay feels much more fluid and dynamic, with great upgrades/power-ups that make re-running levels much better than in the base game ✅ Straightforward, light-hearted characters and story with some silly jokes [h1]CONs:[/h1] ❌ Some technical issues ❌ Single volume slider ❌ Long-winded retries (quite tedious to re-run platforming areas if you mess up, and boss fights can be ultra challenging if you enter the arena with half a heart and no food) ❌ The whole consumables + mana/ability system in a metroidvania feels unnecessary (a better core mana system would have been enough) ❌ Annoying “Flappy Bird” section ❌ Re-running levels in the base game becomes rather tedious, since every time you unlock a new ability you have to re-run all levels ❌ Extra story – Friends to the End: The mana/XP system is pretty bad [h1]Comments:[/h1] Most of this is already covered in the pros and cons, but in short: it’s a light-hearted metroidvania-style game with cute visuals and a fairly enjoyable gameplay loop. The main issue for me is that the transformation process becomes very tedious at a certain point, especially if you go for a 100% run. Each time you unlock a new mechanic, you essentially have to re-run the whole game. With three pages of rotating transformation screens, it slows things down even more, so by the time I finished the main story I was pretty burnt out on the game. Because of that, I decided to do only two extra campaigns. “Friends to the End” is a solid puzzle-solving story, but the mana/XP system is horrible. Shared health but individual XP that you lose when getting hit was just tedious, so at some point I gave up on trying to keep levels maxed. The second story I played was “Pirate Queen’s Quest”, which was honestly much more enjoyable than the base game. It’s dynamic, fast-paced, and punchy, and the platforming tools/upgrades you get make re-runs feel much faster and more satisfying. The upgrades make you noticeably more powerful, which makes the final boss fights fast and fun and makes level re-runs feel great. Story-wise it’s obviously nothing special – basically a bit of pirate queen “mommy” fanservice, I guess. The main technical issues can be fixed with this Steam guide, which explains how to get proper resolution with 60 FPS and correct game speed: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3592784780 [h1]🟢Total score: [b]7/10[/b] 👍[/h1] [b]Game status:[/b] ✅ Finished [b]Reviewing info:[/b] How I review/rate & other info is on my website, linked through my profile (“desozone”).
bom jogo overall, tem alguns problemas compre só na promoção
Игра не работает из коробки как надо. Мыльная картинка и фпс не поднимается выше 30-40. Фпс починить можно, но больше 60 всё равно поставить нельзя, так как фпс привязан к физике. А картинку не исправить
é desafiador ainda mais os outros modos além da história principal.
2,5/10
every hair on my body feels like it's erect every time I see giga mermaid, man she's truly beatiful
frustrating and outdated level design
