Shantae: Half-Genie Hero
Wayforward's newest Shantae game just hit PC. It has sprites drawn in 3D environments, similar to their Duck Tales remake. https://youtu.be/dWNeU7VE0rw It's got lots of layering and looks better than I expected in stereoscopy. I'm especially surprised that the water refraction effect looks cool out of the box. I'm only a couple hours in but it's looking like no fix is necessary!

Sounds good. I didn't watch trailers so I thought it would be fully 2D. I have to finish the other two games before buying this one.

In Shantae: Risky's Revenge there are background layers and you jump from one to the other. The game is fully 2D though. I tried to dump shaders to see if I could manually modify something, but this game and The Pirate's Curse use XNA. Using the dumped shaders (which didn't give any errors) just made the game display a black screen (there were like 2 vertex and pixel shaders in use to cycle, anyway. Not useful at all).

Finally learned how to post 3D images on this thing. I'm enjoying this game quite a bit. Figured I'd share a couple scenes.

Thanks for the pics, dr_invisibrow. I'm a little bummed out that the character models are 2D. Still looks like a pretty game, though.

Assign ShantaeHero.exe to 3DHubplayer profile, now every thing works perfect ! 4everAwke@ 3D is really great in this game, and you can easely abstract from the 2D characters !

Are you playing from Steam ? How do you Assign ShantaeHero.exe to 3DHubplayer profile ? you mean trying to change the .exe name to 3dhubplayer.exe ? Steam does not allow to change the name of the exe because it shows an error :( Do I have to lower myself to play it on 2d like a pleb ? Happy holidays by the way and thanks for helping me.
