You’ll repeat this pattern from the gators in the bayou all the way to the sperm whales in the gulf, so that’s where the other elements of the combat add a bit more to it. When tussling with another fish you’re able to play the Assassin’s Creed approach of waiting to dodge an attack and following up with a flurry of bites while they’re vulnerable. You can probably get through the game like that just fine, but there’s just the slightest bit of depth to play with if you want to. Maneater features a pretty basic combat system wherein you simply bite and tail whip other fish or humans to death. Now it wouldn’t be a shark game without getting to get into some scraps with other fish. And that’s it no skill tree or abilities to earn which is fine since this game doesn’t need all that but the entire experience does give the feeling like this could be a testbed for a more expanded upon sequel. You’ll also be able to equip your shark with various elemental upgrades on each limb that turns your shark from a basic brute to a hellish nightmare spawn. Along with that, you’ll be able to equip three abilities that do things like increasing your sonar radius to giving stat boosts.
It’s an RPG but distilled down to its most basic form. You’ll earn XP from completing missions, finding collectibles, or just eating other fish and your shark will increase in strength with each level along with that you’ll mature to the next stage of adulthood, growing in size, when you hit specific level tiers.
This is where the “RPG” elements come in. Starting off as a little pup of a shark, you’ll slowly increase in size as you eat your way up the food chain until you become this monstrously large shark that’ll be slapping any other fish in the sea silly. Now like any proper RPG, you don’t kick the game off all badass, you got to work your way up there. Everything from fighting underwater to knifing along the surface feels smooth and most importantly, fun. First off, the shark feels phenomenal to control. Maneater is an RPG where you control a shark, a ShaRkPG if you please, and as absurd as that concept sounds it absolutely works. There’s real potential for something a bit sillier here and wouldn’t mind seeing a sequel take an almost Fast Five style approach to ramp things up. Hell, Scaly Pete is almost constantly referencing a giant megalodon (that isn’t you), almost implying you’ll get to see and tussle with this creature but nothing ever comes of it. The game has clear absurd elements to it, like finding totems to elder gods hidden in the ocean, but never really does anything with it. The game severely needs more Scaly Pete in it to the point where I can’t imagine a sequel without him bring him back as a cyborg I don’t care. Adding to this is the delightful voice of Chris Parnell who narrates the entire thing with a very knowing wink as he chimes in with shark facts.Īs fun as this game’s setup is, I do wish it leaned into it a bit harder. Scaly Pete alone is easily one of the best villainous characters in recent memory, as the man has a comically irrational hatred of sharks to the point of wanting to personally genocide them. Both halves of this story, I cannot stress enough, are fucking stupid and they work incredibly well in the world Maneater has set up for itself. The other side of things is a revenge tale where you, starting as a cute baby shark, have your mother killed by Scaly Pete and proceed to go on a one-shark crusade against him and all humankind. Sharkhunters” as they follow infamous hunter Scaly Pete as he hunts for you.

MonsterVine was supplied with a PC code for review Always the antagonist in games, there hasn’t quite been a game that properly put you in the role of the shark since 2006’s Jaws Unleashed and Maneater is here to change that.
Pumped on a lower standover compared to my Maneater before this, do not know why I just like the feel of a low frame and I hope it holds up.īars: Sputnic Throwdown 4 Piece 8.There’s a certain allure to sharks, but along with that comes a fear that was bolstered by films like Jaws. Got this frame super cheap from Dans.and I have not got a chance to ride it yet seeing as it snowed 8 inches yesterday.
