Everything looks resplendent on the Nintendo 3DS, excelling even further with the visual depth that they masterfully provide through the stereoscopic 3D effect. Witty script aside, by now we’ve become accustomed to WayForward’s delectable pixel art direction and energetic soundscapes, and Shantae and the Pirate’s Curse is unsurprisingly no different. Your inventory and assorted collection can be easily tracked through the touch screen, as well as the area map, letting you access and use items as necessary. Whereas Heart Squids hidden throughout each island can be taken to the Squidsmith, with four being required to forge a new Heart Holder to extend Shantae’s health. Hair Products will strengthen her whiptastic locks, whereas the Bubble Shield and Pike Ball will temporarily help protect you from surrounding enemies. Take Shantae on a shopping spree, and gems that you gather on your continual quest may be used to buy weapon upgrades and expendable items. Perhaps not as mischievous as Shantae’s animal transformation belly-dancing spells, these at least diversify your approach and freshen the series for those that have adventured through the half-genie heroine’s previous outings. Whether that be the Flintlock Pistol that lets you attack from afar and blast distant switches, gliding around with the Pirate Hat, slashing foes with the Scimitar, or blistering your way through stages with Risky’s Boots. Now deprived of her genie powers, Shantae instead relies on uncovering Risky’s Pirate Gear to gain a tactical advantage in the situations and enemies that she’ll face. It took every last genie to defeat him when he last cast a dark shadow across the land, but if they can cut the dark magic off at its source then they can hopefully keep him trapped in his grave.Īnd so begins your adventure, warily partnering with your old nemesis as you tour the neighbouring islands in the Forbidden Waters – with delightful names such as Saliva Island and Mudbog Island – to neutralise each Den of Evil. Trapping the dark magic within Risky’s magic lamp, she shares her fear that the Pirate Master has returned to Sequin Land – the greatest threat that it has ever known.
