Everything that's good in 2D sidescrolling action.

<span class="bold">Shantae: Risky's Revenge - Director's Cut</span>, a master class in metroidvania-style platforming, is available now, DRM-free on GOG.com with s 60% discount on the <span class="bold">Weekend Promo: #StreamTeam Selection</span>

Have you played the original Shantae? It's only one of the most amazing (and surprisingly rare) Gameboy Color classics ever released. Now, the scantily clad belly dancing heroine and her scantily clad pirate nemesis are back - and somehow, better than ever before. Originally an episodic DSiWare title, the Director's Cut release brings the metroidvania platforming wonder to PC, in all its beautiful glory. Adorable pixel art and beautiful animations make the title a sight to behold. But looks aren't everything, and Shantae is the prime example. Thankfully, gameplay is top notch as well. The title has been praised for it's incredibly tight controls, and a creative shapeshifting system that adds metroidvania-style elements into the game's open world.

Simply put <span class="bold">Shantae: Risky's Revenge - Director's Cut</span>is a top-notch platformer that does everything right. It's now available DRM-free on GOG.com on the <span class="bold">Weekend Promo: #StreamTeam Selection</span>

What about that "Shantae: Half-Genie Hero" game? Will that show up on GOG someday?

Maybe when it's actually released.

Man, what a day! Not only is Recettear finally on GOG, we even have WayForward on board now as well! I'm glad that they've finally decided to release their games here as well. =)

Looks like I'll be making several purchases today.

IronArcturus: Do you know how long the game lasts? I've read in some reviews that the PC version only lasts a couple of hours.
A speed run is doable in iirc less than 2 hours, but that requires previous knowledge of the game and practice with the platforming. My first 100% run was around 5 hours.

So, the question that I think I've asked a bit more. Does this version include anything that sets it apart from the Steam version? Because if so, I think I might consider it.

SirPrimalform: Yes! More WayForward games, please!
YES please. Their ducktales remake was flawless.

Between this and Receetear, I have two more games to look forward to getting soon! I was hoping for this during the Kickstarter for Half-Genie Hero.

Instabuy! Thanks Wayforward Technologies and GOG!

DOUBLE PUNCH OF GOODNESS!
Shantae and Recettear the same day at GOG. Magical day all around! A one-two of insta-buys.

Big respect for the Wayforward guys--glad to see them finally on GOG! Here's hoping the rest of their catalog (especially BloodRayne) follows.

Not published solely by them though, so doesn't count as 'one of their games'. I think we need Capcom to wake up to get DuckTales.

WayForward has as much say in the publishing/distribution of Ducktales, as Bioware does on Knights of the Old Republic; none at all. Capcom is solely responsible for the publishing of the game, both in digital and retail forms (with the notable exceptions of the mobile/tablet versions, which are handled by Disney).

That's... exactly the point I was making. Why are you telling me that?

Well, you did say "Not published solely by them", which indicates that they had some say in it.
