This is the third entry in the series, and my personal favorite. Due to the events of the previous game, Shantae is left without her magic. That premise opens the door for some very interesting puzzles and platforming without the half-genie's iconic transformation abilities. This is also the last game to use the pixelated art style(at least until Shantae Advance releases). I'd recommend this game to any metroidvania or platformer fan.

I really enjoyed the Shante games. It doesn’t matter which one but they are play well. The soundtracks are always awesome. The graphics have the cartoony look good to me that’s OK these games remind me of the Sega Wonder Boy series.

Easily the best Shantae game, now ported to the PS5.
If you're looking for a traditional Platformer or Metroid-Vania, look no further than this game with quite a bit of depths, moves, all backed up with great gameplay and gorgeous hand drawn graphics.

Flawless version of one of the best shantaes. The older art is super clean and fun. Cool story and definitely worth the buy for anyone on the fence.
