About WayForward

WayForward opened with Shantae in 2002 whipping hair on Game Boy Color. Riskys Revenge followed in 2010 on DSi, then Pirates Curse in 2014 stealing Tinkerbat gear. Half-Genie Hero arrived in 2016 crowdfunded in HD.

Seven Sirens came in 2019 diving island labs. The franchise guide covers this branch alone while this dev run shows the whole house with River City Girls beside. Release order teaches the whip and dance steps best. The whip cracks and dance beats carry every quest with pixels. Risky steals while the genies dance on cue.

Good to know

Play Shantae 1 first since the dance grammar starts there. Risky and Curse suit handheld nights while Half-Genie wants console focus. Sirens closes as the island peak. No next game has a date yet, so Sirens stays last until one lands. The fan love confirms the hair, so give Shantae full attention. The fan love confirms the hair, so give Shantae full attention again.
