Shieldmaiden: Remix Edition
Critic Reviews for Shieldmaiden: Remix Edition
The game's end hints at sequel potential, and while I wasn't overly impressed with Shieldmaiden, I might be interested in a second quest, assuming the developers address the many platforming issues that plague this game.
Though it has some very specific issues, Shieldmaiden: Remix Edition adds a quality short adventure to Switch's library, with a big highlight to it being a 100% Brazilian product. With interesting mechanics, big inspiration on classic 16-bit platformers and irreproachable audiovisual presentation, this one is a good choice for indie titles enthusiasts.

In the end, Shieldmaiden: Remix Edition is hard to classify. The game definitely isn't bad, the graphics are good and charming, the soundtrack is outstanding, the story is captivating and the gameplay has many interesting concepts. The fact the game is short, however, seems to hinder it. The final product is good but with more stages and making better use of the possibilities offered by the mechanics, it could have been a lot better.

Shieldmaiden: Remix Edition features a gorgeous visual style, a great soundtrack, and simple gameplay that works well for most of the adventure. There isn't much variety throughout the playthrough; most of the time we're dealing with the numerous enemies scattered across the levels. As it's a short game—one that can be finished in under three hours—it never felt repetitive to me.
