Technical issues but a great game!
The new Shantae is here! It returns to the connected world map the first few games had before they went for a more level-based design. You control Shantae, a half-genie that ends up having to rescue a whole bunch of other half-genies. Each one gives you a new ability, and you learn a few extra utility abilities (activated via dancing!) throughout the game, such as healing yourself or making hidden things visible. You can also equip and cycle between multiple sub-weapons using up your mana. As far as progression/collectables goes, there's heart-containers to gather and there's cards enemies drop that you can mix&match (up to 3) to enhance your abilities, in a manner reminiscent of Castlevania Order of Ecclesia (to a degree at least). The graphics are extremely cartoony and colorful, but also very well crafted. The cutscenes are straight up cartoon scenes. There's no serious tone at all, rather it's all slapstick and silly overdone cliches, but given the art style it fits in well. If I had to criticize something (and hence only 4/5 stars) it's the technical issues. The game freezes the entire machine on swapping areas when it has to load a new tileset. The title screen won't remember the set language until you get to the savegame select. There is no borderless windowed mode. The cursor isn't hidden when using a controller. And so on. It's all minor stuff, but there's a lot of it. Other than the technical issues, fully recommended.
