Posted on 8 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U | 0 comments
Shantae: Half-Genie Hero released this past week, but WayForward’s work on the game is far from finished. In the immediate future, it will be receiving an update. This will be mostly comprised of bug fixes.
Also, while we knew about this previously, DLC is lined up for Shantae: Half-Genie Hero, such as Blue Shantae, Tinkerbat Form, and other Kickstarter backer exclusive features. News about DLC will be shared at the beginning of 2017.

Image & Form posted the latest episode of The Engine Room today. The studio talked about – or rather teased – its plans for 2017, including the next SteamWorld game.
It would appear that the proper announcement of the new project isn’t too far off, as it will actually be shown at PAX East in March. SteamWorld Quest should be the name going off of what we heard a few months ago, though it’s not officially set in stone.
Watch the full episode of The Engine Room below.

[Review] Shantae: Half-Genie Hero
Posted on 8 years ago by Jakob Vujovic(@jakovujo) in News, Wii U | 4 Comments
System: Wii U
Release date: December 20, 2016
Developer: WayForward
Publisher WayForward
I’ve never been the biggest fan of Shantae games. In terms of presentation, they’ve always been top notch. With level design, I’ve always found them to be a little bit basic at best and a trudge of back-and-forth at worst. With Shantae: Half-Genie Hero, WayForward has done an impressive job remedying my faults with past entries. It definitely has its share of fetch-quest trade-sequence padding, but thanks to a revised game structure, this didn’t bother me as much as it might have on paper.
