Shantae and the Pirate's Curse
Description
Embark on an all-new adventure with Shantae, the hair-whipping belly dancing genie. After losing her magic, Shantae teams up with the nefarious pirate Risky Boots in order to save Sequin Land from a curse. 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.

8.5/10
Shantae and the Pirate’s Curse succeeds by building a funny, gorgeous world around its tried and true Metroidvania gameplay. In the brief moments when the combat becomes exhausting, it’s the writing, in all its self-referential and juvenile glory, and its visual splendor that keep the pace going. Though it’s an unmistakable tribute to Metroid and Castlevania, infusing a sharp wit and bold style helps Shantae and the Pirate’s Curse stand above its retro-inspired contemporaries.

7/10
A solid retro-minded throwback that packs some funny dialogue but ultimately fails in its backtracking-heavy quest structure

4/5 stars
With this game, a cult favorite comes into its own. Shantae has always been a passion project for WayForward, but this is the first time the series feels like it properly realizes the developer's ambition for it. A fun, funny, and pleasant substantial Metroid-alike boasting phenomenal old-school visuals and a refreshing sense of optimism, it's both an eShop standout and a great (though by no means final) conclusion to a slow-burning trilogy of games.

Nice casual platformer with ok story
This is for fun. Not some hardcore grinding nonsense roguelike, but an easy-to-pick up, nice to look atstuff for children, or to satisfy your need for simply platforming. Sure it has too many resources (at least for early accessibility), and I bet metroidvania-lovers will laugh on the puzzles, but this is exactly what satisfies me. PS: the character poses and clothes in this installments are fan-servicy when you think about that.
