About

Embark on a brand new adventure with Shantae, the hair-whipping belly dancing genie. When she loses her magic, Shantae must team up with her nemesis, the nefarious pirate Risky Boots in order to save Sequin Land from an evil curse. As a pirate, Shantae gains new weapons to advance her quest, slay monsters, battle epic bosses…and hopefully get her magic back in the bargain! But can she really trust her deadliest enemy?

    There’s nothing broken or non-functioning here. It’s a solid game. And if you’ve never played a Shantae game, this is an excellent first choice.

    Overall, Shantae and the Pirate’s Curse is a joy to play. If you’re new to the series, then this is as good a place to start as any. It offers a challenging, funny, and engaging platforming experience to entertain even the most hardcore of fans. Do yourself a favor and give this one a go. I know it’s given me incentive to visit the rest of the Shantae series!
