Sometimes, a video game takes a lot longer to be released than expected. That was the case with this game: Shantae Advance: Risky Revolution. This game originally started development in 2002, originally intended for the Game Boy Advance. The sixth game in the Shantae series, this game was set between the first and second games in the series. In this game, Shantae would try to stop her nemesis, the pirate queen Risky Boots, from terraforming the world with a special underground machine.
At the time, WayForward was unable to find a publisher for the game, causing it to seemingly end up forever unreleased...until now. Risky Revolution has been brought to the X-Box One and Series X/S, PlayStations 4 & 5, Windows, GBA, and the Switch. Let's look at the trailer!
Sometimes, you just need to take a swim to get your head together.
Some may think that whipping with a ponytail is silly, but a) Shantae is half genie, and b) being whipped by hair can hurt. Ask anyone who wrestled Bianca Belair.
Aw come on, Shantae! That cannonball was only two days away from retirement!
I can imagine that it's only her being half-genie that is the reason that her seeing the world rearrange itself like that doesn't cause her to get dizzy, vomit everywhere, and faint.
That robot was not paid enough to get smashed by an angry elephant.
I wonder if Shantae had ever been bothered by the Inheritors in her spider form.
Having a 4-player battle mode makes sense. This game was originally developed for the Game Boy Advance, and one could link up 4 GBAs with enough cables.
Alternate costumes, eh? I wonder if they'll be homages. I never really worried about that kind of thing myself, but if you want to give her a new look, have fun with it.
Well, this looks really fun! I've never had the opportunity to play any of the Shantae games in the past, so this will be a great place for me to start. I love the concept of Shantae taking various forms. I can imagine that each of the forms will have different uses for exploration and combat. It looks bright, colorful, a real feast for the eyes. I think this game looks like a winner! Thanks for reading this blog entry! If you liked it, show it off! Take care of yourselves, and each other! See you next time!
