They are referencing and in the style of classic past games, but they're not very good. No one at Wayforward can figure out how to make an engaging dynamic games.

Take Pharoah Rebirth, which is obviously inspired by Shantae. The bunny attacks with his ears like Shantae, but also has a has a spinning ear attack when he jumps. It's the most obvious thing in the world, so why doesn't Shantae have it? He also has a ear-spin like the Belmonts in Castlevania games to destroy projectiles. Again, obvious.

Shantae games lack a sense of adventure, and interesting premises as well. I can't take the worlds seriously and they don't do much environmental storytellig.
