Mind you, I already beat the game from start to finish (Sabuko included) while I was always at Level 1 with the lowest possible stats (i.e. stamina, attack, etc. are all 1) in my mod where I set all XP gain to zero. Hasebe and Mami is the only boss fight I failed to conquer, AND I HATE THAT! I'm seriously stressed out at this point, and I think I need a break. Would love to see someone else beat these brats for me though!

Link to the modded dll and save files if you're interested in trying it yourself:

The link includes save files right before fighting Hibari, Abobo, NOIZE, Sabuko, and Hasebe and Mami in their corresponding subfolders. The save is in the third (bottom) slot.

Here are the steps if you want to try my mod:

1. Download my Assembly-CSharp.dll file from the Google Drive link above.
2. Copy the original Assembly-CSharp.dll located in your RiverCityGirls\RiverCityGirls_Data\Managed folder to somewhere else (so that you have back-up if something goes wrong).
3. Replace the original dll in the Managed folder with the dll you have downloaded from the link.
4. Copy the original save file in your C:\Users\(your username)\AppData\LocalLow\WayForward Technologies\River City Girls\_savedata folder to somewhere else.
5. Replace the save file in the _savedata folder with the file you have downloaded from the link.

Thank you :)

By device I mean any computer, console (PS4/5, Switch, Xbox etc), and phone. And I am referring to the UI language setting of the device on which the game is running, NOT the game's own language setting.

I'm specifically asking because I saw River City Girls (another WayForward game) have major issues when played on devices whose UI language is Turkish (link here); and I recall someone mentioning to me that the remastered port of the original Shantae game had issues with save files when played on French consoles. So if all Shantae players have had similar experiences, I would love them to be gathered here in a single thread!

I am looking for issues and bugs in Shantae games that disappear simply by switching your *device's* (not your game's) language to English (United States). Would be awesome if you could also let me know whether you reported it to the official WayForward Support address here: support@wayforward.com (I would recommend you to let them know if you already haven't; someone always reads and responds to those mails!)

Thanks for your time :)

Since I don't have an IG account, I wasn't able to access the version without IG's slider dots (I just took screenshot). Hopefully those with an IG account can get the full res image from the source link.

Seriously, just make your best guess.

Is it Try Again, OK, or Superb?

Flipline's games are definitely getting mileage, guys!

For example, I've always imagined the High Priest as some sort of mysterious, respected oracle who sees what the party is up to from his crystal ball, and reports directly to Darksol as Darksol's consultant, hence him being a late-game enemy. He also has great enough medicinal magic to heal his allies even from grave injuries, including Darksol; and is the master of staff-based martial arts (hence him being the healing enemy with the most powerful attack). He is the superior and instructor of the Dark Priests. He also seems like the kind of guy who would first betray Darksol once he fell out of power, and side with whomever is the most powerful one. He is aiming to get as much power as he can for the sake of his necromancy; and has high intelligence to help with his goal. Hence his relatively high evasion even during battles. I imagine his voice sounding like Jafar but a bit more timid and prepared to backstab when the time comes.

These are all my own headcanons of course lol. I just love the High Priest!

Yup, it had gone unnoticed since its release on September 5, 2019 until April 7, 2025 when I mailed WayForward Support. Unfortunately, since the game is no longer an active project, they can't do much in the way of an official hotfix for now.

As of now, two workarounds exist:

• Switching system (UI) language to English (United States) or another non-Turkic language, OR
• If you can't do above, then downloading and using my patch below (only for PC):

FAQ:

1. Why Turkish?

Answer: Turkish, Azeri and other Turkic languages use different rules to case-convert the letters "I" and "i"; so bugs that don't happen in other device languages that use or at least respect the "I/i" case conversion (like Japanese, Russian or Arabic), happen in Turkish.

2. Is this a bug in the game or Turkish devices in general?

Answer: As I confirmed myself, it is a bug in the River City Girls' source code that could have been avoided with better string handling practices.

3. What is the root cause?

Answer: River City Girls is a Unity game, and both Unity itself and Unity games are written in the C# programming language. And unless the programmer manually overrides them with invariant culture, C#'s regular string handling methods apply the rules of the player's Current Culture Info by default. This makes all that much easier for Turkish I and other internationalization edge cases like comma vs dot in decimals to creep in, and leads to bugs and other inconsistencies that can be reproduced only on devices (consoles/PCs/phones) with specific non-English UI languages.

Thanks for reading! Feel free to ask if you're interested in further details!

Better options where you'll avoid this and you'll fall in love with:

string.ToLowerInvariant()

string.ToUpperInvariant()

float.ToString(CultureInfo.InvariantCulture)

float.TryParse(input, NumberStyles.Float, CultureInfo.InvariantCulture, out float value)
