    Overall, Shantae: Risky’s Revenge is a nice throwback, even if it’s not really that old, with a single glaring problem – being ‘Metroidvania’ style comes with some responsibilities that this title just couldn’t hold up its end of the bargain for.

My only major complains are a confusing map system, and airborne controls (airborne combat feels somewhat clunky).

    The game's lenght is about 5 to 7 hours of gameplay, which is ok for its asking price (10usd digital release), and for its price is a game worth paying for.    … Full Review »
