Kenny McKee at Hey Poor Player writes: "Although still not quite as memorable as its Metroidvania counterparts, Shantae: Half-Genie Hero Ultimate Edition ultimately only improves upon the original HGH formula thanks to its plethora of side-content."
Shantae: Half-Genie Hero Ultimate Edition has been discounted to $29.97 on the Switch.
You play as Shantae a half-genie who is woken one dark night by a mysterious voice warning of an incoming threat. Upon visiting her uncle, Mimic, she learns about his latest invention, Dynamo, which will help keep their village safe. In the same moment the blueprints for the machine are stolen and only Shantae can save the day.
Vibrant, high-definition graphics bring new detail to the series’ charming hand-drawn sprites, which take center stage in this engaging 2.5D entry along with the franchise's signature action-packed platforming and heavy exploration elements.
Until this edition goes on sale dramatically I’m sticking with the base game cuz I already got the Risky Boots DLC and I could just get the Friends pack and the costume pack next for nearly half the cost of this GOTY edition
