    This game is nowhere near the complexity of the original GBC title. It is also much easier and shorter. It is still fun to play, but it ends too fast and is not that memorable.

    Can't think perfectly straight with this game. Its gameplay feels strong, story feels interesting, characters should need a lot of changes to go through; overall, Risky's Revenge is only bought by fans of this Shantae franchise and gamers because they love this game. For me, not so much.

    It deserves better than a cult following. [May 2011, p.93]

    Not the fantastic retro platform that we expected, Risky's Revenge is a nice little metroidvania game that suffers from a just competent but far from stellar level and game design.

    In the cold light of day, however, it's difficult to see what all the fuss is about. [Issue#107, p.117]
