The Shantae series is a unique series of games with innovative gameplay, but this one is remarkably different. If you played the previous game, Shantae lost all her powers, forcing her to defend her land without them. All that changes when her nemesis Risky Boots appears asking for help against a greater foe. Instead of magical dances or spells, you gain pirate gear which helps you get to places you couldn't get to before, and the more gear you gain the more access. My favorite is the pirate hat for it's floating ability, followed by the scimitar for it's ability to do downward damage and bounce around. If there are any flaws, it is that some areas draw on for too long, and sometimes its easy to forget what to do at times. Other than that this is one of the best in the series.
