WayForward is a games company which seems to make two types of games:
1. Games built around established licenses ranging from Adventure Time to Silent Hill
2. Games built around sexy ladies,mostly this one called Shantae
And yes… based off the screenshot that I came across recently they are as ridiculous as the promo image suggests:
Now, all me a heartless cynic… but I can’t help but think that if sex sells – they shouldn’t have to do all these license games to keep the lights on.

Meanwhile, Jurassic Park: Trespasser, one of the first FPS games to star a female protagonist didn’t give her a face and had a… unique way of displaying the health bar:
Yeah.
