Shantae: Half-Genie Hero is a celebration of 2D, adventure-style platformers by game developer WayForward, makers of Ducktales Remastered, Contra 4, and Mighty Switch Force. The game features lush, hand-drawn animation, colorful characters, classic gameplay, rockin’ tunes, and plenty of the outlandish humor the series is known for.
