Shantae: Half-Genie Hero
Quick update for players who backed Shantae: Half-Genie Hero on Kickstarter: if you pledged at least $35, then your Digital Artbook reward is now available for download. To get it, you need to do the following:
- log into your Backerkit account
- click the artbook download link
- wait for the download to finish (it’s a pretty big file, so it’s going to take a little while), and you’re good!
This Artbook is already available from the Shantae: Half-Genie Hero Ultimate Day One Edition, but the backer version includes 20 extra pages (so 120 pages in total). Also, if you pledged at the $200 tier, you will receive a physical hardcover version soon, but in the mean time, you can still download the digital version if you want!
