Shantae: Half-Genie Hero Critic Reviews and Review Scores

You could likely beat Shantae: Half-Genie Hero in a couple of sittings, but the platforming action is so varied, and the levels so explorable, it’s worth playing well beyond that. While it's neither innovative nor high-concept, its hand-drawn look and toe-tapping music successfully channel a joy and enthusiasm that has become far too rare in modern video games.

Half-Genie Hero is a smooth platformer with a great sense of humor that recalls old-school platforming challenges
