      Platforming done right

      This game being the third in the series is another step for way for wayforwards (the developer) shantae. This game is so much fun and allows you to get powers by turning into animals, which then help you get to areas that you couldn’t before. This is a classic metroidvania with big beautiful bosses, and an amazing cartoonish art style. The character animations are unique and detailed. I would highly recommend this game, don’t let the art cover full you into thinking it’s a kids game.

      Solid Platformer with fun visuals and gameplay

      This is a solid entry in the Shantae series, complete with lighthearted writing and visuals, as well as challenging and fulfilling platforming action. The Ultimate edition includes several additional game modes allowing you to play as other characters in their own adventures.

      Shantae in HD

      Shantae games have been around for a while, but they had always been at the handheld level for graphics. This version made the leap from the DS to hand drawn glory, that was a kickstarter funded campaign. The game is gorgeous, the music fantastic.. and this version includes all of the DLC, and an artbook to boot! All for less than buying the game and the DLC separately.
