Many features contribute to my enjoyment, including enemies, Shantae’s transformation moves, diverse environments, and types of platforming to master. There’s also a variance in level design that adds elements to the series, keeping it fresh and helping it stand out from its predecessors.Īs a newcomer to Half-Genie Hero, I enjoyed this original content. Shantae’s adventures are always a fun time, and this one is no exception, with colorful characters, humorous dialogue, an engaging story, and new moves to master. I’ll start by saying that Shantae: Half-Genie Hero is an absolute blast to play, as Kaelyn discovered in her review in 2017. But with the original Switch release not even 12 months old, is the Ultimate Edition worth your time? It depends.
It’s also the biggest and boldest, bringing HD graphics and a whole swag of DLC to accompany the main game.
Originally released in 2016 on various platforms and in 2017 on the Switch, Half-Genie Hero is the fourth entry in the series.
Shantae: Half-Genie Hero – Ultimate Edition is the complete version of Shantae’s latest outing.
