All in for Sequin Land's half-genie hero!

Welcome to the largest Steam group for fans of the 2D action-platforming Shantae video games from WayForward. We post updates regarding new game content (DLC), future games, community created fanart, remixes, videos, and more!

The Shantae games offer a middle ground between Metroidvania-style action and straightforward 2D platforming. Our heroine, a half-genie named Shantae, can whip foes with her ponytail, cast simple magic spells, and dance to transform into animal forms that can access a wider range of areas. Shantae's character was created by Erin Bozon, while the games themselves were created by her husband Matt Bozon - a founding member of WayForward Games. Each game features an upbeat cast of characters, detailed sprites, and groovy tunes by Jake 'Virt' Kaufman.

To date, five Shantae games and three DLCs have been released on the following platforms:

Shantae (2002) - Game Boy Color, Nintendo 3DS, Nintendo Switch
