Shantae & Heroic Heroines Bundle
Aug 18 2026
Humble Bundle's Shantae & Heroic Heroines Bundle is $10 for 9 Windows games redeemed on Steam. Plus a coupon to buy a 10th game, with costumes DLC, for what turns to be more than the game itself, though the three DLC costumes each add a new power so I guess not totally useless (costumes on an 8-bit graphics game is not that impressive).
These games are all from WayForward and is about half their Steam catalog. Shantae and most of the other games are side-scrolling platformers of console quality. I've played a couple of these games on Apple Arcade -- loved Shantae and the Seven Sirens, was unimpressed with Spidersaurs.
May buy this bundle.
Shantae: Risky's Revenge - Director's Cut (WayForward, Jul 2014, Windows, $10, OWN) - "Guide “half-genie” Shantae through haunted wastes, burning deserts, enchanted forests, dripping caverns and deadly labyrinths. Discover magical attacks, brew zombie coffee, save golden babies, and master the art of belly-dancing to transform Shantae into more powerful creatures. Use your powers to foil the lady pirate Risky Boots and save Sequin Land from certain doom! With its infectious characters, flirtatious humor and deliciously outlandish action, Shantae: Risky’s Revenge offers up all the hair-whipping, belly-dancing action you can handle!"
This is a port of a Nintendo game though with updated graphics, animation, and adds Steam features.
Shantae and the Pirate's Curse (WayForward, Apr 2015, Windows, $20) - "Embark on an all-new adventure with Shantae, the hair-whipping belly dancing genie. After losing her magic, Shantae teams up with the nefarious pirate Risky Boots in order to save Sequin Land from a curse."
Mighty Switch Force! Hose It Down! (WayForward, Jun 2015, Windows, $3) - "Team up with Officer Patricia Wagon to save Tangent City from a fiery blaze! As a member of Planet Land’s Fire Brigade, your job is to douse the fire in each building — and to evacuate any Hooligan Sisters who may be trapped inside."
This is a puzzle game where you move tiles around, diverting your water jet to remove obstructions, put out fires, save people.
Shantae: Half-Genie Hero Ultimate Edition (WayForward, Dec 2016, Windows, $30) - "Shantae embarks on her first full HD adventure! When a mysterious crime wave sweeps Sequin Land, it’s up to Half-Genie Hero Shantae to save the day! Use Shantae’s devastating Hair-Whip Attack to send monsters flying, or Belly Dance to transform her into more powerful forms!"
The regular edition had three DLCs and everything totaled $46
Mighty Switch Force! Collection (WayForward, Jul 2019, Windows, $7 65% off) - "Switch up the fun with four games in one! As cybernetic peacekeeper Officer Patricia Wagon, you'll use your platforming skills, puzzle-solving abilities, and level-altering Siren Helmet to catch criminals, extinguish infernos, and smash enemies. Four-player co-op and versus modes included!"
Collects four previous Might Switch Force games into one package (though doesn't include Mighty Switch Force! Hose It Down! because that's a different genre of gameplay).
River City Girls (WayForward, Sep 2019, Windows, $30) - "There's trouble once again in River City, and this time only the girls can save the day! Using a variety of attacks, weapons, and items, these hot-blooded heroines are ready to teach the city’s lowlifes a lesson - either solo or in 2-player co-op! It’s an old-school rumble for a new generation!"
This is a TMNT arcade game style play.
Shantae and the Seven Sirens (WayForward, May 2020, Windows, $30) - "Shantae is back in an all-new tropical adventure! In her fifth outing, the Half-Genie hero gains new Fusion Magic abilities to explore a vast sunken city, makes new Half-Genie friends, and battles the Seven Sirens in her biggest, most thrilling quest yet!"
This game I played on Apple Arcade with a controller and it was quite fun and even finished it (with a few hints).
Spidersaurs (WayForward, Jul 2022, Windows, $5 75% off) - "The nightmarish dinosaur-spider hybrids known as Spidersaurs have run amok! Armed with an arsenal of awesome weapons, it's up to you (and a friend in co-op mode) to shoot your way through six levels of ferocious run-’n’-gun mayhem and send these mutant monstrosities back to the stone age."
This is a side-scrolling shooter (Contra-style). I played this on Apple Arcade and it was ok.
RWBY: Arrowfell (WayForward, Nov 2022, Windows, $30) - "Dive into an explosive new RWBY adventure! Instantly switch between Ruby, Weiss, Blake, and Yang, and use their weapons and Semblances to battle a mysterious new threat in this in-canon story set during RWBY Volume 7! Featuring a new song by Jeff Williams with vocals by Casey Lee Williams!"
