  • Excellent

    Excellent game it reminds me Mario bros saga & zelda in many aspects, my only complain is that it is too short, you can finish the game in few hours, if it was longer it would be best plattform game ever..
  • Would have been great, but...

    ...no quick save option. If you shut it down, you lose all progress and have to start over. Based on web reviews, there's a save point somewhere, but no clue where it is yet.

    The lack of a save option made a fun game (from what I was able to play before I had to shut it down) into one I probably won't play.

    Fix this please.

  • Pretty fun

    It was okay
  • A blast, great platformer!

    Reminds me of the old school metroid type platformers. Lots of power ups , huge levels, great puzzles, challenging bosses. I can't find anything wrong with this game. I haven't played the original but I've played tons of iOS games and this is now one of my favorites. Love it, and there's no IAP!
  • 4.5 stars minus 1/2 star due to ratings limitations

    I love this game. It's refreshingly retro, difficult but not punishing, got a quirky story, the controls are relatively easy and consistent, though once in a while it's a little to easy to hit the wrong one. My biggest complaint is it's lack of volume controls. It isn't a game breaker but it's always so much better not to have to mess with device wide settings every time you start a game.

  • Shantae: Risky's Revenge Review

    Without a single doubt, my favorite video game (tied with Sonic 3 & Knuckles). I love this game to pieces. This was my first Shantae game (would like it if the first and third game were in iOS too) and this was a series I've been interested in for a while. The gameplay is amazing, and the upgrades aren't too limited. I love how, similar, to Link Between Worlds, upgrades are limited by a magic meter instead of a numeral amount. This is something I wish a lot of other games could do too. The characters and storyline, while a little hollow on occasions, are filled with quirky writing, and funny 4th wall breaks and spoofs. The soundtrack is full of the mid-eastern-type world Shantae lives in whole being both atmospheric, and catchy. Since the rating system here is a bit limited. I rate this 9.5/10. I give high recommendations for any old school-platforming, retro, metroid-vania style gamers.

  • Awesome, purely awesome!

    Since this game was originally developed for the Nintendo DS and 3DS systems, I was a bit hesitant when I heard it was receiving an iOS port.

    Well, my concerns were certainly put to rest! While they do take a little bit of getting used to at first, the controls for this game are actually pretty good.

    Shantae is just a lovable series. The gameplay is awesome, the story is surprisingly engossing, the characters are charming and endearing, the humor and animation style are both pretty tasteful...BAM! It's the whole shebang!

    So what are you waiting for?! Enter the world of Shantae and embark on a journey you will never forget!

  • Long Time Fan

    I have loved Shantae ever since I played the game boy color game. When Risky's Revenge was released to the DS I imedediatley fell in love with it! I love the ios version and the new Shantae and the Pirates Curse is amazing. Good job Wayforward!
  • Fantastic

    The graphics are good, the animations are great, and it's a must have 2D platformer. I hated the fact that the mermaid form didn't get to shine much; it was only use for tedious tasking, after the third dungeon. It's a short game for a good price. But I wish the 2nd dungeon was like the others than being an arena fight. Other than that, it's a great game that deserves more attention.
