    Shantae: Risky's Revenge is a perfect sequel, trimming a lot of the fat from the original to make a more enjoyable, fast-paced, streamlined adventure. Soundtrack is incredible, and labyrinth/overworld design is brilliant. The level of detail in the sprite art and animations is astounding, and environments really pop. Shantae controls like a dream.

    Part culmination of old-school classics, part a simplistic form of them all, Shantae: Risky's Revenge is not exactly the best title in WayForward's, otherwise charming, line of platformers. If a fan of Shantae do check it out, but you won't miss much by skipping it, and simply trying any other instalment - 2002 original included.

    Shantae Risky’s Revenge is a fun, challenging adventure. Filled with difficult boss battles, tons of tricky puzzles, and all kinds of magic spells to learn. While it may be a little outdated, Risky’s Revenge will always be fun to play.

    Shantae: Risky’s Revenge - Director’s Cut is a great metroidvania-style platformer that stands out for its great art design, fun characters, quirky sense of humor and for being entertaining from start to finish. It's a highly recommended title.
