About

The original Shantae adventure returns! First released in 2002, Shantae is the classic action-adventure-platformer that introduced players to the fan-favorite Half-Genie heroine. In her debut title, Shantae hair-whips, dances, and transforms as she seeks out four elemental stones hidden throughout Sequin Land to put a stop to the nefarious lady pirate, Risky Boots.

AI-powered picks based on gameplay, mechanics & feel

Ori and the Will of the Wisps

Like Shantae, this game offers a vibrant world and fluid platforming, but with a more melancholic story and a deeper combat system that rewards mastery.

Hollow Knight: Silksong

Step into the shoes of Hornet, a nimble protagonist with a wide array of acrobatic moves and combat skills, reminiscent of Shantae's transformation-based gameplay, but set in a more somber, intricate world.

Forgotton Anne

While less action-focused than Shantae, Forgotton Anne shares a similar side-scrolling perspective and a strong emphasis on exploration and puzzle-solving within a beautifully animated world.
