It's pretty alright! Shantae goes back to her roots, and honestly it really does feel that way.
First off, I REALLY like this game's art style. Whenever I imagine what Shantae is, this is always how I imagine it.
The story is pretty bland. Unfortunate to see after Pirate Curse and even Risky's Revenge. Those stories weren't AMAZING or anything, but they at least had something that made it memorable to me. The only thing I could think of while playing this game when thinking about the story was thinking about how it feels like a Saturday morning cartoon. It feels very cartoony and cheesy, it's not really a BAD thing, I just didn't really expect it.
Gameplay is pretty alright. It's your normal Shantae gameplay but I didn't expect how many dances there would be. I only needed a few more dances and I would've gotten 100%.
The music is good, though not as good as Pirate's Curse. I didn't expect a lyrical song though! That was a fun surprise.
Overall, It felt like Shantae back to basics. It's alright, but not as good as the previous game. Oh wait, theres also DLC! Pirate Queen's Quest is mid, and Friends to the End sucks.
