Shantae is back in a 2D side-scrolling action-adventure game 20 years in the making! The nefarious pirate Risky Boots has a “groundbreaking†new plan that will leave Sequin Land spinning — by rotating the continent, she can move any town right to the coast for easy plundering! As Shantae, turn the tectonic tables on Risky by taking control of the land itself: shift, twist, navigate, and explore by swapping between mix-and-match multilayered levels! Hair-whip and belly-dance your way through scrambled lands, misplaced towns, monster-filled crypts, and daunting labyrinths. Six creature transformations, fierce boss battles, and a 4-player versus mode await!
Key Features:
• Discover the lost chapter of the Shantae saga, fully restored and released after 20 years!
• Fight and explore using your hair-whipping ability, magic items, and belly-dance transformations (including monkey, elephant, crab, and more)!
• Spin and shift Front Yard and Back Yard playfields to create new routes and solve puzzles!
• Visit towns, battle through labyrinths, purchase upgrades, find collectables, and meet with friends like Rottytops, Sky, and Bolo!
• For the first time ever in a Shantae game, four players can compete in Battle Mode!
Shantae Advance is a new game in the Shantae series taking place between the original game and Shantae: Risky's Revenge. The dastardly pirate Risky Boots returns with another plot — now that she's stolen a device giving her the power to reshape the continent to her will, Shantae has to step in to defend her home from plunder. As in the first game, this is a 2D side-scrolling platform title. Players can use Shantae's hair as a whip to attack their enemies, and can transform into six different alternate forms with their own unique abilities. This game features a layer system similar to Wario Land, allowing her to move into the background to progress when the main path is blocked. Shantae can also wield the power of the same device Risky Boots has, letting her reshape levels and create new paths to make her way forward.
In addition to the main single player game, it features a four-player battle mode.
