Critic Reviews
Shantae: Half-Genie Hero Review
Whilst it starts off somewhat slow, Shantae: Half-Genie Hero quickly kicks into top gear and stays there right until the end, making for one of the most engrossing 2D platform adventures of recent times. A few unnecessary special abilities may have been tacked on, but the balance for the essential ones is spot on. Also, it may suffer from being too easy on the standard difficulty setting, but there is a harder setting for veterans to tackle, as well as plenty of reasons to revisit the different levels included, with a Metroid-esque feel to proceedings at times.

Shantae: Half-Genie Hero is a beautifully made, wonderfully crafted, and totally fun adventure. It’s got great characters, fun gameplay that’ll keep you entertained throughout, epic bosses that’ll keep you on your toes, and plenty of collectables that’ll have you going back through the levels multiple times.
