Ori and the Will of the Wisps
While trading Shantae's lighthearted comedy for a more emotional journey, Ori delivers exceptional platforming, a sprawling world to explore, and a deeply moving tale of sacrifice and belonging.

Forgotton Anne
Like Shantae, this game blends platforming with a rich narrative, but instead of genie magic, you'll use anima energy in a beautifully hand-drawn world where every forgotten object has a soul.

Guacamelee! 2
Embrace vibrant visuals, a humorous tone, and satisfying platforming combat in a Metroidvania world. You'll find a similar joy in unlocking new abilities to traverse and fight, just like in Shantae.
