Most-played Shaman King games
Shaman King: Master of Spirits
Game Boy AdvanceAction-Adventure
Shaman King: Master of Spirits is a side-scrolling action-adventure game developed by Natsume for the Game Boy Advance and published by Konami. It is based on Hiroyuki Takei’s Shaman King franchise and follows Yoh Asakura as he investigates a supernatural threat. The game combines platforming, exploration, melee combat, and ability-based progression in a Metroidvania-style structure. Yoh can call on guardian spirits and gradually gain powers that open previously inaccessible paths. Its compact exploration-focused design was generally regarded as a solid handheld adaptation, although critics noted repetition and limited variety compared with larger console adventures.

Game Boy AdvanceAction
Shaman King: Master of Spirits 2 is a side-scrolling action-adventure game developed by Konami Computer Entertainment Japan for the Game Boy Advance. Based on the Shaman King franchise, it follows Yoh Asakura as he explores connected areas, battles spirits and other enemies, and uses guardian spirits in combat. The game combines platforming, light exploration, ability-based backtracking, and boss encounters in a structure similar to a compact Metroidvania. Players gradually gain new powers that open previously inaccessible paths. It was generally regarded as a solid licensed handheld action game, especially for its exploration and spirit-switching system, although its challenge and presentation remained relatively modest by the standards of the genre.
