My first "Shantae" game. So cute!!

Exciting BGM. Cute characters. Casual graphics. A light and comfortable story. Moderate voice. I'm so happy to buy it as the first game. It's a satisfactory game. It has the charm of making people buy other series. "So Cute! Shantae!"

A Lovely New Flavor

This is actually more of a map-based Platformer than a Platventure, like the earlier titles. The mechanics were still tight, and even though I wasn't really sure about this entry at first, it won me over before long. You get TONS of transformation dances and lots of other upgrades, not to mention that magic is back; you get lots of options, and every stage is your own personal playground. There are quite a lot of other modes, if you're into that sort of thing; they vary in quality from great to "this entire mode is made up of mechanics from the worst of Steam trash WHY!?" You're traversing the same stages in each mode, though, for the most part, so it's not a huge deal if you skip any of them. There is a fair amount of backtracking even in the main mode, but I didn't mind that at all; it carries that giddy sense of anticipation, wondering what your new abilities will nab you this time. The visual style took a bit to get used to, but the animation is a lot better than it seems at first, and everything is very expressive, even enemies. The music has some arrangements of old tunes, and I was worried when the first section threw a vocal track at me, but some of the later tunes are excellent. As for the characters and story, it's a Shantae game; if you've played any of the others, you know exactly what you're getting into, and it more than lives up to that. Overall, this is a great entry in the series!

Shantae can't jump

Shantae can't jump and can't reach the platforms. There's no boost or air jump available. So the measurements and heights of platforms outmatch her performance, you keep dying, dying, dying, because Shantae won't get her ass out of the trap holes. To meet such incapability in moves a much more durable constitution would be nice... Well, after dying the third time in the same early stage, you just move on to the next platformer. There are millions arround. No benefit in wasting time on a certain, unbalanced one. Farewell!
