New Shantae and the Pirate’s Curse details
New details about Shantae and the Pirate’s Curse have finally emerged from a demo being shown at PAX East 2013. Destructoid provided the information, which we’ve summarized below.
– Uses sprites from Shantae: Risky’s Revenge as a base
– Adds more colors and frames of animation
– More intricate environmental puzzles
– More enemies on screen
– More action in general
– Shantae has lost her former half-genie powers
– Because of this, she has to team up with Risky Boots in order to try to get them back
– Risky ends up rubbing off on Shantae in more ways than one
– Shantae learns pirate-styled attack and abilities
– Gradually begins behaving more like a pirate as well
– Shantae still attacks with her hair
– Still knows how to dance as well
– New move lets Shantae suck up items into a lamp
– This makes it easier to collect loot and other enemy drops
– 5 dungeons (most in the series thus far)
– WayForward will be shortening the length of the bits in-between dungeons
– More ideas in a smaller space than the original GBC game
