![]() Shantae sits in a weird place in the platforming genre. SHANTAE SPRITES SEXY SERIESĪs a twelve year old series it feels like there’s a legacy future games need to uphold, but with only two games under its (ornate, mostly decorative) belt, the possibilities are effectively endless. So long as a sequel is a metroidvania game with a quirky sense of humor and (weirdly sultry) sprite animations of unrivaled quality, WayForward can do pretty much whatever they want with it. 2010’s Shantae: Risky’s Revenge stuck close to the original game’s formula by giving players a big, open map to explore and three magical transformation dances to facilitate getting around it. At the end of that game, though, Shantae was stripped of her genie magic, and while many metroidvanias would simply use that as an excuse for her to build up the same ability-set from scratch in the sequel, Shantae and the Pirate’s Curse instead gives her a brand new set of Pirate-themed weapons to unlock. The Pirate Master was once the scourge of Sequin Land, and it took the collective might of all the genies to bring him down.
