Shantae: All Games & DLC Ranked Worst To Best

In the Costume Pack DLC for Shantae: Half-Genie Hero you play through three different campaigns each with their own stories and gameplay styles. The thing is, these campaigns weren't created equally.

Ninja Mode tasks Shantae with becoming a master ninja. The gameplay here is a lot of fun as you're dashing around, wall jumping and throwing shurikens at foes.

If Beach Mode was sold as its own DLC then the title would be at the bottom of this list. You have to play through the levels of the main game in search of the perfect place to tan, the problem is the sun is constantly burning you so unless you're frequently collecting sunscreen you're going to die pretty quickly. This is alright until you get to boss fights where it becomes nearly impossible. It's like Jammies Mode but your health is always at risk of depleting. Beach Mode sucks.

Officer Mode is a crossover with another WayForward property Mighty Switch Force! and is easily the best of the three campaigns included here. You get a gun but also the ability to switch which blocks are pushed in and therefore can be walked on and which ones are simply in the background. This leads to a lot of fun platforming and puzzles.
