Shantae and the Seven Sirens Part 1 releases tomorrow on Apple Arcade

[AlexFlame116]

Just so that others who might not have been up to date with what's happening with how Seven Sirens will be released. The Apple Arcade version will arrive in parts with the full console and PC versions coming later.

I have been playing for a few days thanks to be Beta, this is the screen you get describing the release

Part 1? I haven't been following this game closely... is it episodic or... ?

 

[Vertpin]

Dang, so this is Apple Arcade exclusive for a while? o___o I'm actually kinda surprised by that. I was expecting to try this out on my PS4, but I have iOS 13 and Arcade up...guess I'll try it now!

 

[Kouriozan]

Yeah I've been playing for 2 days already, it's pretty good but touch screen control keep messing my jumps.

My guess:

They're rolling out the game as episodic content to Apple Arcade as it's completed and then the full game in one lump sum to console/PC once it's all done.

 

[Comic Obsessed]

Ah, dammit. I really hope the episodic nature doesn't ruin the final game, that's what went wrong with Risky's Revenge.

 

[Aadiboy]

Do we know if it's a Metroidvania?

 

[Mega Man Zero]

How much game is in this part 1? How many dungeons? How long is it? Is it just the PAX demo and a town?

 

[Kain-Nosgoth]

episodic metroidvania (they confirmed it was open and not level based earlier) doesn't sound like a good idea...

 

[Zero-ELEC]

I got to see some of this during the beta and it looked... rough. Like, rougher than 1/2 Genie Hero. The UI looks like its straight from Risky's Revenge, multiple times there was an extended black black screen with audio for some reason, save points are too spread afar, the level design was kinda not great.

It's a Shantae-arse Shantae game, and while that may be enough for some, it certainly looked like a step-back to the lesser games in the series.

Additional content after launch for a metroidvania can work, but usually it's DLC building off of completed games... is releasing the game on Apple Arcade with only one complete area (or however many are in Episode 1) really a good idea?

The Gamexplain footage did not look good. The environment was bland, the level design was uninteresting, and the music was kind of just there. Hopefully the next episodes are much better.

Did you play through the whole thing? How long is is? How many dungeons?

I did not personally play it, I saw it being played until near the end of the first dungeon.

Wake me up when it's coming to a proper platform. Shantae games this generation have been great, will check out this one as well.

Interesting way to handle this release on Apple Arcade. I was wondering why this game was set to release this year, but only on Apple Arcade.

I won't be playing it on there, but I'm glad for anybody that has Apple Arcade and will use it to play this new Shantae.

Console/PC/Apple Arcade part 2 update:

Hey, everyone! Development on Shantae and the Seven Sirens for Console/PC (and Apple Arcade Part 2) is nearly finished! We've moved the release window to Spring 2020, but promise it will be worth the wait! Thank you for your support!

Seems we'll be able to play the full thing in a few months.
