A fantastic follow-up to Shantae & The Pirate's Curse!! The DLC stories are not the best, but the main campaign is so much fun with lots of collectables and that trademark Shantae charm :)

It's a good platformer. Lots of secrets to find and there's great music. Controls are really tight and responsive. The Ultimate edition comes with all the DLC as well.

It's worth it.

The extra content in Shantae Half Genie Hero Ultimate Edition makes it worth getting over the base game by leaps and bounds. They are essentially the same game with gimmicks like the ability to make platforms appear in Mighty Switch Force and a sunblock mode where you lose after a certain amount of exposure. If you are on the fence, this game is worth getting. It isn't a metroidvania like the other games, but the music is still fire.

The initial game already has addictively fun platforming, tight controls, charming worlds and characters, and plenty of secrets to find. But with this edition you also get 2 extra campaigns which are just as much fun, on top of some new modes that allow you to re-play levels with some new moves and restrictions.
