You can buy spells and various other upgrades using gems at the item shop in the main hub to make gameplay more exciting. Shantae doesn’t just use her hair though. This adds replay value but also means backtracking, something which I’m not a fan of. Each level has its own set of secrets that sometimes require revisiting in order to unlock even more transformations. There’s a relic system in place letting you tweak gameplay further as well. She whips people with her hair and dances into various forms with the press of a button. Shantae isn’t just some generic platformer protagonist though. Your aim is to help your Uncle build a dynamo with parts that are scattered across various locations–all of which form the basis of the numerous stages you must play through, and the stunning environments that you will encounter. This leads to you explore the small settlement of Scuttle Town, where the lush visuals of Half-Genie Hero begin to blow you away–everything is so smooth and lovely.
You play as Shantae, a half-genie who wakes up and finds herself in a secret cave. It is that damn good, and one of my favourite platformers in a while. My time with Half-Genie Hero has been so enjoyable that I’ve already bought Risky’s Revenge and Pirate’s Curse. One of these franchises is Shantae, which has eluded me until now. There are always franchises I see mentioned, related to genres I enjoy playing, that I haven’t had a chance to try myself.
