    The large amount of content in Shantae: Half-Genie Hero - Ultimate Edition may be misleading, as it feels spread thin across the short main game. This suggests that the developers may have originally planned for more levels, but were unable to complete them. The trade-off for a shorter game is a larger amount of bonus content and a high-quality presentation. However, this repetitive level design may cause player fatigue before they are finished exploring all of the extra modes.
