If you are able to buy one online or stumble across one in-store at a local best buy like I was go ahead and get it now. I was able to get a price match with just the plush for $20 before taxes and still get the game code for it on my receipt. I already bought the LRG physical of Shantae and the Seven Sirens back in december and i went to pick up the 1st shantae game and saw this even got it price matched with just the plush and got the digital code for free basically. So to ensure you can get it one way or another, I'd recommend placing the order online for pick-up or delivery. That's definitely a steal!! It should look good a part of your Shantae Shrine that's mandatory for all fans to have lol.

For those new to these games, the Shantae series is a "Metroidvania" style of game where you traverse (and often backtrack) through numerous maze-like locations, gradually upgrading your arsenal to beat various bosses.
This one is more of the same, though that's not a bad thing as it's still a very fun title. It's also one of the easier games of the series (though there are options to ramp up the difficulty for those looking for a challenge). The biggest new addition is the powers of the other half-genie characters that you acquire to use both for attacking as well as finding secrets on the world map.
The game's not the longest, as you can beat it in well under ten hours, but as I said before, there are options to make things more interesting to veteran players.
If you're looking for a lighthearted nod to old-school games, you can't really go wrong here.

This is a great Metroidvania. A little on the short side, but every game in this series is a banger.

As the title states, I feel the game is very tedious. It tries to be a metroidvania, but unlike those two series, this was just a slog. A pretty, wonderfully animated slog, but a slog none the less.
Unlike Half Genie Hero there's very little replay value. Unlike the original GBC game it's not difficult at all. And worst, unlike Pirate's Curse, the fun burned out quickly.
After getting all five win screens (your 'prize' for beating the game in certain ways) in one run, I shrugged, removed the game and moved onto something more entertaining. Glad I got it while it was on sale...

Great game from an underrated series. Solid old school side scrolling gameplay. Not too difficult but far from easy.

Outside of the weird budgety things with production values (OP animation being higher quality than other cutscenes, Shantae getting more voice dialogue in-game than everyone else) and the easy difficulty, pretty good game
