shera and the 40 thieves

Retro game maker CrazyGroupTrio has put over two years of work into Shera And The 40 Thieves, a new NES game that crosses Donkey Kong with Prince of Persia to create a solidly entertaining experience. Now the Kickstarter is active, and it’s earned its initial goal in just two days. Once there was a half-genie named Shantae Shera,whose powers of purity were discovered and quickly coveted by the evil wizard Malice. Malice was already wreaking havoc on the community, but he knew he would be even more powerful if he added Shera’s magic to his own, so he ordered his 40 thieves to kidnap her. Now he’s busy performing the ritual to absorb Shera into his body and become the ultimate menace, and only Sarzha, Shera’s son, can stop him. Thing is, Sarzha doesn’t seem to have inherited any of his mother’s powers. While that kept him off Malice’s radar, it also means he’s relying on pure skill to get past Malice’s traps. There’s a bigger problem: the time limit.
