Just a bad hair day.



<span class="bold">Shantae and the Pirate's Curse</span>, the cheeky platformer/metroidvania where the purple-haired genie gets rubbed the wrong way, is available now for Windows, DRM-free on GOG.com with a 50% launch discount.

Shantae is not having the best of days. She has lost her genie powers and her blissful bubble bath just got rudely interrupted. Oh and it seems like she'll also have to join forces with her arch-nemesis, the feisty pirate mistress Risky Boots, in order to save the land from an evil curse. Great, just great. At least she still has her audacious belly-dancing moves and her lethally fabulous coif to help her get through the day. And eliminate the man-eating beasties.

But being a pirate turns out to also have some cool advantages, as Shantae can now use more than her hair-whips to dispose of enemies and traverse the treacherous levels. All these new weapons and moves will soon come in handy, because the place is teeming with monsters, traps, and bosses who didn't get the memo about the overconsumption of carbs. There is also a diverse cast of colourful characters to interact with, and among the frenetic platforming and the relentless fighting, Shantae is determined to have a good time, while saving the land and getting back her mojo. Even if that requires an uneasy alliance with, like, the most untrustworthy pirate ever.



Wipe out pesky monsters and scary bosses with your hair-whips, and rebottle your missing magic powers in <span class="bold">Shantae and the Pirate's Curse</span>, DRM-free on GOG.com. The 50% discount will last until March 4, 10:59 AM GMT.

Woohoo! My wish has been granted! Now we just need the first and fourth installments here. It couldn't hurt to vote for them on the wishlist:

Shantae! I loved the first game, will definitely grab this one too sooner rather than later.

Wishlisted in wait for a decent US$ <-> BRL conversion rate :-(

So many great games lately... Congrats GOG
Already have it elsewhere, finish Half-Genie Hero, guys.
The first Shantae was amazing, so I'll buy this one for sure :) Let's get the booty :-D

I must be lucky on GOG the conversion rate if going by the steam prices is true is good here for me. Aud $11.49 for the game on half price. Steam half price would be US $9.99 and the Australian conversion rate via paypal works out around AUD $14.39 . So I do much better to be here on GOG.
Yay Shantae! Good catch G guys ;) Plz catch more from Wayforward Technologies!
It's good to finally see the release here! Instabuy!

You know the original game is a Gameboy game, right? It'll never come here, Nintendo would never allow it.
The graphic is quite cute (^_^)
No idea about the game tho..
Aaaand, bought. I really trust Wayforward with their platformers, and the previous Shantae game on GOG was absolutely stellar, so I obviously was going to get this one.

Keep 'em coming, GOG, nice work!
