Feb 10, 2017The boost graphics look nice, specially the new sprites and animations, but sadly the constant backtracking and the linear design of the levels make evident the lack of content of the title, and the lost of the exploration inherent to the franchise in previous entries.

Jan 4, 2017Shantae looks lovelier than ever in high definition, swaying hips more voluptuously to boot. However the wonderful belly dancer lost some charm through her cartoonish traits, despite a wider array of powers. Inspired by the trends, particularly crowdfunding, Half-Genie Hero openly embraces an episodic structure, confining exploration meanwhile. A more straight(way)forward approach, but this episode falls a little short in comparison to the scale of the previous trilogy, unless upcoming DLCs prove otherwise.
