Friends to the End DLC

Wayforward has released details of the Sky, Bolo, and Rottytops DLC storyline.

________________________________________________________________________

Friends to the End takes place chronologically in the middle of Shantae’s storyline. Unlike the (possibly embellished) tale of Pirate Queen’s Quest, this new mode would be considered “official cannon”, and fills in a part of the narrative that we, as the audience, were previously not witness to.

Shantae has been turned to evil by the foul Risky Boots by way of a polarity-swapping machine, and is reborn as Nega-Shantae! Sky, Bolo, and Rottytops must enter Shantae’s mind in order to rescue her consciousness from the “Nightmare Realm”; a series of twisted memories designed to swallow Shantae whole.

This will not be an easy task for the three adventurers, who lack both genie magic, and the ability to get along.

This translates into a brand new mode with three new heroes, a whole new story, and altered memories (revamped versions of existing levels) to explore and conquer. The icing on the cake is a new final level, and a showdown against Nega-Shantae.

For Friends to the End, you’ll be controlling Sky, Bolo, and Rotty all at the same time, swapping freely between heroes. Each hero has a special ability that is useful for overcoming certain obstacles, but players are given a wide berth as to which character they want to use for the most part. Let’s take a look at each character!

Sky is quick and agile, and can make long jumps by using her bird Wrench as a glider. Sky attacks by throwing seagulls, which are somewhat weak, but can hit at long range. Her special ability is to toss eggs, which explode into instant platforms! Finally, she can spend Dream Magic to summon an orbiting flock of birds for extra defense! Sky is definitely the best character!

Bolo deals heavy damage with his spiked Bolo Chain, which offers medium range and decent speed. He can also fire a Spring Claw at odd angles to knock away annoying airborne enemies. His special ability is to latch onto certain objects with his Spring Claw, which lets him to swing around freely like some sort of bionic ninja! To hit distant enemies, Bolo spends Dream Magic to toss a pong-style Spike Ball, which bounces diagonally at high speed. Bolo is definitely the best character!

Rotty attacks by removing her zombie leg and using it as a club, dealing massive damage at short range. Her special move is the Head Toss. Rotty can aim her head freely in any direction, and toss it through certain barriers and over or under obstacles. Anywhere her head safely lands, she can reform. By spending Dream Magic, Rottytops can eat a brain to replenish her Hearts! Rottytops is definitely the best character!

From a design perspective, Friends to the End differs from Shantae and Risky’s modes in that the power up system exists “in the field”. There are no menus or inventory to manage. Collecting Gems will cause a hero to LEVEL UP, increasing their attack speed and damage dealt. Getting hit by enemies incurs a penalty, dropping the power level. Enemies and Bosses have been tailored around these new concepts, dropping health and Gems to feed the player’s needs. You could say that "Friends to the End" is part puzzle game, part action game, and part player management.

According to Wayforward, the DLC is finished and awaiting platform approval. Sounds like it's going to be a bit meatier than Risky Mode.

What was the gap between the backers getting their codes for the Pirate Queen DLC and the Pirate Queen DLC actually coming out?

I don't remember, but I think it was 1-2 weeks.

Other than Ninja, Beach, and Officer outfits for Shantae, no. Or I should at least say probably not, they could always add more that was not part of the Kickstarter, although it is not likely.

Sorry for resurrecting an old thread, but I wasn't sure where else to post.

Is there anywhere I could find any sort of cheat for Friends to the End?

I've enjoyed the other Shantae games on PC, and even the Risky DLC. Friends to the End felt like too little for too much cost, but I couldn't bear to have played all the games but one.

Yes, there is a lot of recycling. The mechanic of switching constantly between the characters is intriguing, and it can be fun to approach the same bosses or level challenges in a different way due to the different characters.

It's just TOO FREAKING HARD for a casual gamer like me. Having to play the same level over quite literally 10-20 times in some cases until I pass it is just frustrating and takes all the fun out of it for me. I can't go to town and heal and stock up, I can't farm in an easier area--it's just on to the next level, to die and try again, over and over and over, until I do it just right.

Not to say that all of it is insanely hard. Once I realized what tactic to be used with the worm boss, for example, it was pathetically easy. But there are a number of those points where I die over and over. I likely will just put this game on the shelf and not try again unless there's a cheat I can use to help me survive through the tricky areas so I can explore the game to the end. Any suggestions?
