Shantae Advance: Risky Revolution

If you’re a dedicated Shantae fan, then Risky Revolution will feel familiar. In place of what would ordinarily be nostalgic visuals, characters, and gameplay design philosophies, you have reinvigorated executions that are essentially sealed memories from two decades past. Between tried-and-true platforming and metroidvania progression, this revived entry is undeniably Shantae, being a natural fit next to its siblings. If you’ve been yearning for your next 2D platforming fix, then Shantae Advance: Risky Revolution will remedy that itch, regardless of whether you have any history with the franchise. Plus, you have one hell of a soundtrack here, rivaling the series’ best.
