ABOUT Shantae

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.
