What one might see as Rotty being a vile temptress (and the only action remotely close to in-line with that would be trying to get Shantae to be "princesses" with her in Tan Line Temple) comes off as more ill-conceived attempts to be more friendly with Shantae. He's worried about an undead rodent with endless stamina getting "hurt" running around a castle. "Nasty"? Abner, maybe could be seen that way with his appearance and aloof behaviour, but Poe? That guy couldn't hurt a fly. It'd be something to help soothe the Smash news drought.Ĭlick to expand.Those bios are super old, and feel more like beta bios, especially for Rotty and doubly so for her brothers. And she is fundamentally more a darker shade of gray than the rest of Shantae's friends, however she is not static, but a vector of change personified, and it's overall ignorant to not see the achievements of her progression from one of the roughest helpers of the Half-Genie Hero to a fierce defender.Īctually, I got a question for the rest of the Shantae server: Is what I said about Rottytops accurate? If not, then we shall have a debate about her character arcs. It speaks on behalf of both Shantae's and Rotty's character, the former of which has the light and the heart to break Rotty's shell and bring her into the light, and the latter for being a catalyst of change and for valuing the loyalty of friendship after directly influencing and seeing the effects of disloyalty personally.Īt the end of the day, you're more than allowed to hate Rottytops. She is capable of complex emotions, facing crises, and facing off against her own personal demons with the help of a more positive influence that she didn't know she needed. She has more to herself than simply her Ethos, she has her Pathos and her Logos, in a sense that she is her own story within a larger framework of a story. I tend to enjoy it just fine as long as I don't spend too much time in analysis videos tearing it apartĬlick to expand.It's absolutely unfair to see Rotty as nothing more than a corruptor. There are just as many plot holes as there are patches (the latter many viewers dont realize because they forget small moments) but it has great music and a good chance of at least one character catching your interest.

If the latter, it has an intriguing concept and world starting out as a passion project before being adopted by the full studio. So I think it's doing tolerable to good now. And a couple writing choices aside, I noticed the specific changes they made in V6 in reaction to major mistakes the fans pointed out over time, being imo a step in the right direction from V5. But my friend actively watches and hasn't had any real impulse messages of rage my way. If the former, I haven't watched V7 yet for still being burnt out on forced bumblebee annoyance. Shantae and the Seven Sirens is releasing on PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Switch, PC, and iOS via Apple Arcade.Click to expand.Are you asking as one whose seen and dropped the show or as one looking to get in it? The blog post also mentions that the game's graphics are being drawn for 4K devices primarily. The bit about nonlinear, interconnected world seems to indicated that the game will be similar to Pirate's Curse and it's more Metroidvania-style level design. The game also features a new collectible card system that grants players the freedom to augment Shantae’s powers to suit their own style of play." "As Shantae gets caught up in the island’s sinister secrets, she’ll use all-new dance abilities and instant-transformation Fusion Magic to explore the nonlinear, interconnected world where she’ll visit multiple towns, overcome treacherous labyrinths, and battle dastardly bosses. "Shantae and the Seven Sirens sends the belly-dancing, hair-whipping, half-genie hero to a tropical island where Shantae and her friends encounter other Half-Genie allies, but they soon learn there’s trouble in paradise," the post reads.
