Shantae in Full HD

Sequin Land comes to life like never before with vibrant high-definition graphics combining detailed hand-drawn characters with colorful 2.5D environments.

Explore lively towns, mysterious ruins, dangerous factories, exotic locations, and other colorful environments packed with enemies and secrets to discover.

Detailed animation, expressive characters, and Shantae’s trademark humor give the adventure the look and personality of an animated show brought to life as a platformer.

Whip Your Way Through Sequin Land

Shantae’s powerful ponytail is more than just a hairstyle.

Use her signature Hair-Whip Attack to knock enemies out of the way, then combine physical attacks with magical powers and upgrades to take on increasingly dangerous threats.

From ordinary monsters to enormous screen-filling bosses, Shantae will need everything in her growing arsenal to protect Sequin Land.

Dance and Transform

Shantae’s magical belly dancing returns with more ways to transform than ever before.

Master more than a dozen dances and transform into eight different creatures, including new and returning forms with their own abilities and movement styles.

Each transformation opens new possibilities for combat and exploration. Climb, swim, smash, fly, and discover new paths through areas that Shantae could not reach before.

Discover New Powers

Customize Shantae’s abilities with the new Relic System.

Discover relics and unlock additional powers that expand Shantae’s move set and give you new ways to approach enemies, obstacles, and exploration.

Combine relics with Shantae’s transformations, magical abilities, and Hair-Whip Attack to create a play style that suits the adventure ahead.

Explore, Return, and Discover More

Defeating a boss does not mean you’ve seen everything a stage has to offer.

Return to previously completed areas after learning new dances and transformations to reach hidden locations, uncover secret items, and discover paths that were inaccessible during your first visit.

As Shantae gains new abilities, the individual action stages connect into an increasingly explorable world filled with reasons to return.

Face Risky Boots

Shantae’s arch nemesis and self-proclaimed Queen of the Seven Seas, Risky Boots, is never far from trouble.

As Shantae investigates the crime wave spreading throughout Sequin Land, each new caper brings her closer to an ultimate confrontation with the bodacious buccaneer and whatever scheme she has waiting.

Get ready for colorful characters, offbeat humor, challenging action, and another unforgettable battle between Half-Genie Hero and pirate queen.
