WTMG’s Oliver Shellding: “Shantae Advance: Risky Revolution is a marvel and a dream wrapped up in a promise kept to fans the world over. Keeping the original game alive and delivering it, even decades later, shows a dedication to their fans that WayForward continues to delight. It’s a fantastic entry in the series, and a boon for players who prefer the classic look to the modern. The humor is positively bang on, the pacing is great and you always feel like you’re moving forward at just the right speed. A gorgeous and upbeat soundtrack combined with puzzling landscapes and plenty of action makes this a banger of a title from start to finish. If you can get over the winks and nods to the drooling fans, then you’ll find that this absurd and unrepentant adventure is a fun and magical romp that is sure to please any metroidvania player.”
