Shantae and the Pirate's Curse Review - NWR

"WayForward has created some of my favorite games of the last decade. They developed the excellent A Boy His Blob, the Mighty Switch Force games, and DuckTales: Remastered. These are talented people with real passion for their craft. I liked Shantae on the GBC and I really liked its DSiWare sequel, Riskys Revenge. Both of those games, however, have their share of problems. The original features an inverted difficulty curve and an overzealous map. The sequel has a pared-back map, but a confusing cave system, impractical warp system, and a short length. I had high hopes for Pirates Curse, the wrap-up to the Shantae trilogy, but its many delays and persistent lack of a release date worried me. Well, after finishing it up on 3DS, its clear that the lengthy development time did wonders for Pirates Curse. This isnt just the best Shantae game; it may be WayForwards greatest achievement to date."
