    Gameplay is fun and responsive, graphics are pretty and smooth, characters and story are charming and enjoyable, musics are GREAT; game is a bit short indeed, but replay value is certainly there, specially now that new hardcore mode is added.
    It's the best Shantae game to the date, IMO.

    Shantae es un plataformas muy recomendable. tiene un estilo artístico sublime y una música que es una delicia. Ademas que que el juego te ofrece una buena sensacion al ver como tu personaje va mejorando.
    Aunque si peca mucho de tener que regresar a zonas que ya estabas para entrar en sitios donde antes no podias. Y en un juego donde tampoco tiene demasiados niveles esto no gusta.

    An old-school adventure that lacks new ideas but is beautifully put together. [March 2017, p.84]

    WayForward brings a beautiful modern 2.5D look to Shantae's world, with stunning music and a more streamlined gameplay experience. A definite must buy for any lover of side-scrolling platform games.
