[ES/EN Reviews]
8 Horas. Metroidvania que continua la línea argumental del anterior juego. Visuals encantadores, diferentes items que añaden variedad y jugo al gameplay, toques de humor ideales tanto en las conversaciones como a la hora de resolver los puzzles y como siempre el mundo y los personajes acompañando perfectamente el juego. Por otro lado tenemos un diseño de niveles normalucho y poca profundidad a la hora de explorar las islas donde se desarrolla el juego. Irónicamente supera a las anteriores entregas al abandonar las transformaciones.

8 Hours. Metroidvania that continues the plot line of the previous game. Charming visuals, different items that add variety and juice to the gameplay, humour and as always the world and the characters accompanying the game perfectly. On the other hand we have a bland level design and shallow exploration. Ironically it surpasses the previous titles since there are no transformations.

The third game in the Shantae series of games, and a personal favorite. The Shantae games are usually known for being easy
2D platformers (except the first one on GameBoy Color), and this one was no exception. While it may be too easy for some,
it's still and enjoyable search-action type game, with really fun unlockable moves like the speed boots and quad jump cannon.
The story is also pretty neat, acting as a direct follow-up the second game (Risky's Revenge), with a bunch of cute and
funny dialogue. I'd say my only real gripe with the game is there is a lot of back tracking to previous areas, which is a
given in search-action games, but at least traversing old areas with new power-ups is fun.

due to horny, Shantae is somehow a series - but it has a problem. the problem is that Shantae is kinda bad? the main gimmick of transforming is a total pace-breaker and nothing about its world or characters are very, uh, written. at all. playing the stories and dialogue of these games feel like trudging through rejected scripts from a strange Canadian cartoon time forgot, ones from the third season that only make sense with the rest of the show. the series feels like an afterthought, like nothing in it was ever planned out beyond the characters being hot and boobies. EXCEPT for this one, actually. it's fun! i can't tell you a single goddamn thing that happened in its narrative or what anything in it was but it was fun. mostly fun because it cripples Shantae's powers, inadvertently making her far more powerful and fun to play as. the pacing is good, the music is great, and sometimes that's all you really need.

+ Pirate gear innovatives gameplay
+ Music is stellar
+ Characters are developed more
+ Builds on previous games
+ Built with speed running in mind
