Pirate Queen's Quest is easily the best piece of DLC for Shantae: Half-Genie Hero. It's a return to the excellent pirate gear gameplay from Shantae and the Pirate's Curse, what's not to love?

Well, the fact that some of the level design from Half-Genie Hero hasn't been altered enough to fit with the much most fast-paced gameplay that the pirate gear offers you.

When you get to a bit of level that you know has been truly modified enough to fit the gameplay of this DLC then it's the most fun you can have in the entirety of Half-Genie Hero. The problem is there are just enough moments where the gameplay doesn't feel like it belongs, to make the base game feel like a slightly better experience.

It is cool playing as Risky Boots whilst she navigates Sequin Land to find what she needs to upgrade the Dynamo machine, the DLC just could have been better. What this really highlights is the fact that a spin-off Risky Boots title would probably work really well. Come on WayForward, make it happen.
