Shantae, a half-genie heroine, sets out to stop a mysterious crime wave sweeping Sequin Land and confront the criminals behind it.
Play through action-platforming stages, using Shantae’s hair-whip attack, magical abilities, and belly dances that transform her into different creature forms. Stages mix platforming challenges, enemies, secrets, and boss fights.
Discover dances and relics that add powers and let you customize Shantae’s moves. New abilities can open routes in earlier stages, which are accessed from a traversable world map.
Supplied reviews often praise the colorful animated art, soundtrack, and platforming, along with the charm of the characters and the variety of Shantae’s transformations. Some players enjoy exploring stages and returning with new abilities, though others find the level-replay structure less satisfying.
