Shantae and the Seven Sirens

Shantae, a half-genie hero, explores a tropical island built around a vast sunken city and encounters other half-genies while facing the Seven Sirens.

Travel through connected areas above and below the sea, jumping, fighting monsters, and finding routes into towns and labyrinths. New creature forms and abilities let Shantae pass obstacles that once blocked her way.

Use belly dances to activate machinery and restore health, and collect Monster Cards that provide useful effects. Minigames, items, and secrets offer additional activities as you explore.

Players often enjoy exploring the interconnected world, using Shantae’s transformations, and discovering secrets. The colorful art, animated cutscenes, humorous characters, and music also draw praise. Some reviewers find the adventure too easy or its boss fights repetitive, while others criticize backtracking and the effort needed to find every collectible; overall impressions of the gameplay vary.
