As for someone who played the game four times, the game is relatively short, it took me about 6 hours to beat the game with 100% items collected on my first run. As for someone whose played the other Shantae games I have to say this falls disappointing compared to pirate's curse. They made the game feel more like Mario with worlds, instead of being semi open world it's now you go through that door you can't go back until you restart the level. I'm just going to straight to the pros and cons then blab
Pros
- It's 3D shantae
- Music
- Classic Side scrolling
- Getting 100% without a guide is tricky
- Quick play is challenging (beating the game before 2 hours)
- Cheap, game is worth what I payed for it, bought it digitally for 20$, and got a physical copy to collect for 30 in gamestop of release. ( I don't trust amazon with collector items they always have a dent or a sticker on the box)
Cons
- No more dungeons, just platform levels( people complain about them being short, but even in pirates curse as you progressed the levels got shorter)
- Nintendo easy, this game is literally way too easy, the only challenging part was when i was going through my first play through and I was having fun by trying not to get hit by the boss at all learning their patterns, my quick run play through with no heart holders really made it bloody hell. But anyone can get Bikini armor take half damage from everything, then collect all the items get infinite mana to get an invincible shield where you can't get hurt... really ruins the game for those with trigger fingers
- A lot of returning to old zones and i mean A LOT , you have to go back to the same areas about 3 times + if you're going for 100%, or just wait till you get to the end game to just go back once, but even the main story makes you come back.
In my defense the cons obviously outweigh the pros, but I'm really glad they made another Shantae game, it's better than just leaving it a pirate's curse. I had a blast playing this game, I actually platted it before i did Pirate's curse. If you're still weary if you should get it wait for it to be on sale on PS Store in a couple of months most likely for 7$. Hopefully they bring back the old style of the game with dungeons and all.
