Overall, Not a Bad Game
When I heard who made this game, I knew I had to try it. I loved Shantae and the sequel, plus theyre a pretty great company.
As for the game itself, its pretty solid. The first things youll notice are the excellent graphics and music. Both really added to the game experience. The voice acting was also amazing, and thats good because it can be hard to find talent sometimes.
But the parts I pay the most attention to in any game are the characters and the story. Sadly the human characters felt slightly flat, however the ghostly antagonists were actually (for the most part) well written. One of their backstories had me crying inside a little.
The plot was intriguing and well paced, if a little predictable. I was hooked... Right until the end where everything fell apart. I was promised the "truth", and got nothing I didnt know. In what looks like an attempt to set up for a sequel, they only ended up making everything confusing. I almost felt a little cheated.
But overall, its really worth a shot to see how you like it. Maybe youll be different from me and find its your new favorite game.
Just one more minor complaint: One thing that would be nice is the ability to repeat the boss battles. I dont feel like starting a whole new game every time I fail to meet an achievement requirement.
