Inside Shantae: Half-Genie Hero - Pirate Queen's Quest

What it is

"Raise anchor and set sail for a total re-imagining of the base game’s play style, theme, and storyline. You’ve played the genie-half, now experience the other side of the story!

As the villainous pirate Risky Boots, you quest is to travel Sequin Land in search of the components needed to conquer Sequin Land and defeat the Half-Genie brat!"
