What Steam players say
Recent verbatim reviews from Steam — separate from playze.io community reviews below.
Shantae: Risky's Revenge - Director's Cut impresses players with its charming presentation, quirky humor, and Zelda-like gameplay, but is held back by excessive backtracking and obtuse item placement that makes progression confusing and tedious. The platforming can be challenging and the world design often leaves players feeling lost, turning exploration into a chore that discourages replaying. Most seem to enjoy it as a brief, lighthearted experience, though the backtracking frustrates enough that this works best as a budget or bundle purchase rather than a full-price buy.
I liked the presentation (music, graphics, animations) and the gameplay was alright. What I hated is backtracking and how easy it is to miss some of the items that are needed to beat the game (for example, coffee beans and monkey bullet ability). Moving around this world became a chore very quickly because of that and that's what you do most of the time, especially when you miss an item and it makes you run around in circles. Not the best introduction to the series...1 found this helpful
It plays like a GBA platformer despite being released on the Ninendo DS. It is an alright 7/10. It had too much tedious backtracking to ever want to replay it after beating it.
[h2] A short but sweet little game [/h2] I got this in a humble bundle, and it's a charming little Zelda-esque game. I had fun with it :)
What a fun and quirky game. Loved all the characters and humor. Game was fun and charming. Short but tough in its own way
Really great game, but the platforming is going to be the death of me
That recent Humble Bundle is the golden opportunity to check which Shantae games are actually good as opposed to just having good presentation. I keep getting lost in this one! Ugh! Thumbs down! Also it's very goofy that you can't swap confirm/cancel without also remapping jump. Well at least it allows me to pretend I'm Japanese, like that guy in Monster.
