Cute, sexy, funny and fun to play. Relatively short and cheap, and the first game in the series available on Steam, it's a good place to start. I enjoyed the platforming and transformations, as well as the art and comedy. It definitely convinced me to check out more of the series.3 found this helpful
Pretty standard metroidvania experience, pretty short though, you can finish it in like 3 hours, controls are pretty tight, music is great and animation is top notch for a 2010 game I do have a major gripe with this game tho and it is the map structure for the overworld and the 3rd dungeon of the game, while I like the idea of switching between layers, the backtracking for this game is awful especially if you're trying for achievements since some sections can be really confusing. Overall a fun and cheap game, and if you want to skip the original Shantae for GBC, this is a pretty good introduction.1 found this helpful
RIsky's Revenge was originally planned as part of a 3 episode release by WayForward that was changed to to a standalone release, landing on the Nintendo DSI first before being ported to other systems. While it took some time, the port to PC is a near perfect conversion of the DSI controls, minus the slight awkwardness of the inventory screen and map. Shantae only has 3 transformations this time around but the game puts them to good use for when you unlock them and her hair whipping attack is still as satisfying as ever. The music is phenomenal and the difficulty keeps you on your toes without feeling unfair through out the game. A good metroidvania style game and a great entry to the Shantae series as well.
alot of fun but be wary because this game consistently crashes without warning
Awesome game. Really Underrated Franchise imo. I think there was a lot of inspiration for the Latest Mario Game.
MEN! SPANK THIS ONE NICE AND HARD FOR MOMMY!!!
