Don't know what else to say to get to the character limit. Oh, I guess that would do.

Embark on a brand new adventure with Shantae, the hair-whipping belly dancing genie. When she loses her magic, Shantae must team up with her nemesis, the nefarious pirate Risky Boots in order to save Sequin Land from an evil curse. As a pirate, Shantae gains new weapons to advance her quest, slay monsters, battle epic bosses…and hopefully get her magic back in the bargain! But can she really trust her deadliest enemy?
The third Shantae game is the biggest yet! Beyond Sequin Land lie cursed islands and labyrinths each hiding a new piece of Pirate Gear - Flintlock Pistol, Pirate Hat, Scimitar, Risky's Boots, and even a Cannon. Upgrade Shantae's hair and weapons or unlock advanced Fighter's Moves. Locate maps, return lost Heart Squids, collect rare loot, and laugh out loud at the weird, wild, and wonderfully humorous cast of characters. Incredible stereoscopic visuals, unlockable Pirate-Mode, multiple endings, and an unforgettable soundtrack make this one game you won't want to miss!

That last level was brutal. I felt exhausted when I finally got to the boss. I don't ever want to see another spike in my life!

Friend gave me a code for this game from the Humble Bundle. Will play it at some point.

Uhm, apparently it wasn't that hard after all. That was mostly because I was stocked up with all kinds of items though. But then again, the only possible 'flaw' I could have possible found within this game was *maybe* the difficulty overall. Not due to it being hard or anything, it's actually pretty much the opposite.

Uhm, apparently it wasn't that hard after all. That was mostly because I was stocked up with all kinds of items though. But then again, the only possible 'flaw' I could have possible found within this game was *maybe* the difficulty overall. Not due to it being hard or anything, it's actually pretty much the opposite.
Foremost, it's not like I mean SatPC is any boring tedious piece-of-cake platformer. It's definitely closer to 'easy' than 'hard' in most levels and phases, that much is certain. *But* the game does have its immensely great share of mindless fun dialogue, interesting dungeons, collectible-hunting, pixel work and (DAT) soundtrack. And to add to that it's not like I actually had any actual problems with the difficulty being too easy or too hard in any moments throughout the game, (Unless we're specifically talking about that goddamned Mud Bog Island god how I despise that clusterfuck of projectiles and monsters and shit all over my face ).
Apart from being great overall SatPC also has a fucklot of charm to it. Now, after having actually finished the game, I can even say that it's already one of my favorite indie games. God, writing game reviews like this makes me nervous af.
I fucking loved the game, that's it. (Yup, it's really great. Go play it.)

Second-to-last Isleee. The artwork for most of the chars kind of make me insecure saying I actually liked this (great) game. It's not like I'm complaining or anything, mind you, it's just that... welp. Guess I shouldn't really care about some silly dialogue artwork if I actually liked the game that much after all c: .
