    Shantae and the Seven Sirens è un gioco accattivante in particolare per chi apprezza questa tipologia di gioco. A partire dalle sezioni iniziali, il videogioco saprà catturare il giocatore grazie alla sua estetica, all’umorismo di fondo e alla sua struttura di gioco.

Quest’ultima, sebbene non presenti molte differenze rispetto a quella dei capitoli precedenti e non offra un gran livello di sfida, può soddisfare ampiamente chi sia disposto a cimentarsi in un’avventura che scorre piacevolmente. Infine, anche il carisma della sua protagonista e degli altri personaggi contribuisce a consolidare un prodotto che nel complesso risulta più che buono.

    Loved it and I love this series. Got all achievements too! This one returns to Metroidvania roots, transformations implemented seamlessly like Pirate's Curse, and story and characters were fun a lot of fun! Great job WayForward!

    It is fun to destroy the enemies because they explode every time and it never gets her to hear explosion sound and see them blow.

    The game is the closest I have played of the shanty game to a Castlevania Symphony of the Night kind of game Just one big map you have to explore. It is relaxing adventure but is no will challenge, you get so much food and it's so easy to replenish it that    It is fun to destroy the enemies because they explode every time and it never gets her to hear explosion sound and see them blow.

    It is relaxing adventure but is no will challenge, you get so much food and it's so easy to replenish it that there's no real possibility of dying.

    The journey is easy a off find out ,only one time I was stuck and had to watch a walkthrough to find out where I was supposed to go.

    This is my second favourite shantae game I have played just behind the pirate.    … Expand

    Un buen juego y muy entretenido. Es un tipo de metroidvania sencillo, perfecto para adentrarse en el mundo de los metroidvania para luego ir para cosas mas complejas.

    Es un juego para disfrutarlo sin complicarse demasiado, la dificultad es casi nula ya que casi desde el principio puedes hacer upgrade rápido de armas, así que no vas a tener ningún problema con los enemigos normales o los bosses.
    Como cualquier metroidvania tienes que adquirir nuvas habilidades a lo largo de la historia y luego revisitar sitios antiguos que sin estas habilidades no podias entrar, pero la verdad que no requiere mucha exploración ya que casi todo es bastante directo.
    Asi que en general, una buena entrada al mundo de los metroidvania, con unos controles buenos, unas habilidades un tanto diferentes y muy sencillo, para jugar sin complicaciones por unas 8 horitas que dura el juego.    … Expand

    Absolutely love the Shantae series the charaters are all fun an lovable. The bosses are really interesting and designed well.
    As with the other games in the series the metroidvania style of play having to run back and forth trying to unlock new areas and transformations. I would definitely say this is probably the easier side of the series especially if you are looking to plat the game.    Absolutely love the Shantae series the charaters are all fun an lovable.

I would definitely say this is probably the easier side of the series especially if you are looking to plat the game. This unfortunately means the final boss which although fun and interesting didn't really put up much of a fight. Would have liked a bit more of a challenge - even the speed run wasn't too bad (except for the dancing coconut shy - that mini game nearly made me burst a blood vessel).

    Don't you dare scare the cute lil shrimp girl!

    As well as transforming abilities, you unlock room-affecting powers as you progress, and these are a lot more iffy– indications of where to use some are irritatingly lacking. The lack of map markings for currently impassable objects or collected heart pieces also feels a bit annoying.2 Still, it’s a lot of fun throughout its short duration, and the cartoony surface is backed up by plenty of heart. It’s not the best game of its type, but it’s an example worth playing. [Issue#178, p.76]

    Still playful and dynamic, this Shantae is the lest challenging of the series, despite its formula keeps its magic.

    Shantae and the Seven Sirens is another enjoyable game in the Shantae franchise. The open world and exploration could be streamlined a little but the characters and gameplay are as enjoyable as ever with great animations and abilities.
