A world-shifting retro saga returns
Shantae Advance: Risky Revolution is an action platformer with a strong retro feel. After 20 years, Shantae is back for a new adventure against her old nemesis, Risky Boots. The spinning continent of Sequin Land sets the stage for a fresh but familiar journey, now with new challenges and more complex puzzles.
A nostalgic adventure
Shantae Advance: Risky Revolution brings back Shantae’s signature moves—her hair whip attack and magical belly-dance that lets her transform into various animals. You’ll navigate rotating stages, solve puzzles, and unlock new paths as you progress. With monster-filled crypts, tricky labyrinths, and big boss battles, every level is packed with action.
You’ll reunite with familiar faces like Rottytops, Sky, and Bolo along the way. A highlight this time is the new local multiplayer battle mode—available for the first time in the platformer saga—which allows up to four players. However, the short content might leave players wanting more after such a long wait.
A short but strong comeback
Shantae Advance: Risky Revolution is a fun and well-crafted return to the series. While the adventure is on the shorter side, the rotating stages, retro visuals, and multiplayer mode make it a memorable entry. It’s a solid pick for fans of classic platformers.
