  • Description: Shantae is back in an adventure 20 years in the making! The nefarious pirate Risky Boots has a “groundbreaking” new plan that will leave Sequin Land spinning — by rotating the continent, she can move any town right to the coast for easy plundering! As Shantae, turn the tectonic tables on Risky by taking control of the land itself: shift, twist, navigate, and explore by swapping between mix-and-match multilayered levels! Hair-whip and belly-dance your way through scrambled lands, misplaced towns, monster-filled crypts, and daunting labyrinths. Six creature transformations, fierce boss battles, and a 4-player versus mode await!
  • Price: $24.99 ($19.99 for next 19 hours)

Got the GBA version of the game a while ago now. It’s a fun Metroidvania and feels like Wayforward used what they learned from Pirates Curse and other games to improve it.

While it’s based on the unreleased prototype of the GBA game it doesn’t feel like one of their games from the era. If this was to be released back then as is, it would be one of the best platformers on the system.
