As a pirate, Shantae gains new weapons to advance her quest, slay monsters, battle epic bosses…and hopefully get her magic back in the bargain!
Incredible high resolution artwork, unlockable Pirate-Mode, multiple endings, and an unforgettable soundtrack make this one game you won't want to miss!
Upgrade Shantae's hair and weapons or unlock advanced Fighter's Moves.
Locate Pirate Gear, return lost Heart Squids, collect rare loot, and laugh out loud at the weird, wild, and wonderfully humorous cast of characters.
the level design is lazy and annoying. the game doesn't give any clue on what to do in any levels.i had to reffer to walkthroughs to make sense of what one is supposed to do in order to complete this game
This is a fun platformer with some puzzles. It controls well, looks good, has a nice soundtrack and is overall a very solid game in every aspect. The only thing I didn't like enough to mention it, is that there is no option to turn off screenshake effects, and I personally hate those in any game.
90% of the game is just perfect.
Fun gameplay, hard but fair, positively adorable characters, solid soundtrack... honestly, the vast vast majority of the game is great.
And from a technical perspective it runs on a toaster, pauses automatically when you tab out and uses almost no resources from your PC.
HOWEVER it lacks in two aspects:
1. There is no tutorial. You just kinda learn as you go. If you have any platformer experience, great. If you're like me and this is your first, there will be some 10-20 minutes of pain before you get the hang of it. Not a big deal, but worth mentioning.
2. The final act is ridiculously hard. Getting to the boss requires something like 6-8 pixel perfect jumps in a row, and any failure gets you instakilled and back to the start. It is, quite frankly, THE most bullshit phase i have ever seen in any game ever. This alone is the only reason this game isn't getting 5 stars.
This Game introduced me to the Shantae Franchise, its great, i loved the Soundtrack, the gameplay and the world design. My second favorite Shantae game.
Didn't expect this game to be this good.
Pros:
1. Platforming tools are pretty fun to play around with.
2. Game does not overstay its welcome (short around 10 hours long).
3. Good music in most parts.
4. Combat is semi-decent.
Cons:
1. An easy game overall, so it might be not so challenging for those who seek difficulty.
2. Never gets to a moment where you are truly awed by anything in the game, in other words it is
mostly mediocre in most parts.
I like platformers, so I was willing to see beyond the cons for this one.
This game is waiting for a review. Take the first shot!
