Item Description

Shantae has lost her magic, and the only person who can help her get it back is the pirate who has spent two whole games trying to ruin her life. That irresistible setup drives Shantae and the Pirate's Curse, WayForward's third Shantae adventure and, for plenty of fans, the series at its very best. Risky Boots needs Shantae's help to stop the return of the Pirate Master, and the prickly alliance between hero and villain gives the whole game a mischievous, comic energy.

Without her genie transformations, Shantae fights and explores with Risky's own pirate gear, and every piece changes how you move. The Flintlock Pistol handles distant targets, the Pirate Hat lets her glide across wide gaps, the Scimitar adds a downward strike, Risky's Boots give her a dash, and the Cannon blasts her higher into the air. Each new tool opens paths you passed earlier, and the adventure sends you sailing between a chain of cursed islands, each hiding a labyrinth, its own puzzles and a boss waiting at the bottom.

The hair-whip combat is quick and snappy, purchasable upgrades and Fighter's Moves add depth, and hidden Heart Squids reward thorough explorers with extra health. The writing is a constant pleasure: the dialogue is self-aware and very funny, with Rottytops the zombie, Bolo and Sky returning alongside Risky's bumbling Tinkerbat crew. Jake Kaufman's soundtrack is packed with catchy, chiptune-flavored melodies, and the bright, expressive pixel art pops in stereoscopic 3D.

Pirate's Curse made its debut on the 3DS in 2014, and it is a compact, beautifully paced Metroidvania that can be finished in a handful of evenings, then replayed in pursuit of a better ending or in the unlockable Pirate Mode. It is the entry that proved Shantae could carry a full-sized adventure, and the one most fans point newcomers to first, which makes a physical 3DS cartridge a fine way to own the game that put the half-genie on the map.

About the game

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? The third Shantae game is the biggest yet! Beyond Sequin Land lie cursed islands and labyrinths each hiding a new piece of Pirate Gear - Flintlock Pistol, Pirate Hat, Scimitar, Risky's Boots, and even a Cannon. Upgrade Shantae's hair and weapons or unlock advanced Fighter's Moves. Locate maps, return lost Heart Squids, collect rare loot, and laugh out loud at the weird, wild, and wonderfully humorous cast of characters. Incredible stereoscopic visuals, unlockable Pirate-Mode, multiple endings, and an unforgettable soundtrack make this one game you won't want to miss!
