The nefarious pirate Risky Boots has a “groundbreaking” new plan that will leave Sequin Land spinning — by rotating the continent, she can move any town right to the coast for easy plundering! As Shantae, turn the tectonic tables on Risky by taking control of the land itself: shift, twist, navigate, and explore by swapping between mix-and-match multilayered levels! Hair-whip and belly-dance your way through scrambled lands, misplaced towns, monster-filled crypts, and daunting labyrinths. Six creature transformations, fierce boss battles, and a 4-player versus mode await!","211307\u002Fshantae_advance_risky_revolution_jpg","211307\u002Fshantae_advance_risky_revolution_header_webp","https:\u002F\u002Fwww.youtube.com\u002Fwatch?v=jxgdJVBDMhA&pp=ygUoc2hhbnRhZSBhZHZhbmNlIHJpc2t5IHJldm9sdXRpb24gdHJhaWxlcg%3D%3D","2025-08-19",76.17,203442,"shantae-advance-risky-revolution",3055950,[19,24],{"company":20,"developed":22,"published":23},{"name":21},"WayForward Technologies",true,false,{"company":25,"developed":23,"published":22},{"name":26},"Limited Run Games",[28,29,30],"Platform","Adventure","Indie",[32,33,34,35,36,37],"PC (Microsoft Windows)","PlayStation 4","Xbox One","Nintendo Switch","PlayStation 5","Xbox Series X|S",[39,55,69,84,100,113,128],{"id":40,"author":41,"outlet":44,"summary":50,"review_url":51,"review_date":52,"original_score":53,"normalized_score":54},2236153,{"id":42,"name":43},17840,"Trevor Gould",{"id":45,"logo":46,"name":47,"website_url":48,"score_format":49},158,"https:\u002F\u002Fcdn.criticdb.com\u002Fstorage\u002Fv1\u002Fobject\u002Fpublic\u002Favatars\u002FOutlets\u002FPurenintendo.jpeg","Pure Nintendo","https:\u002F\u002Fpurenintendo.com","10","As a \"lost chapter\" restored, Shantae Advance: Risky Revolution has to balance the reality of being a 20-year-old game that's also polished and updated to moder","https:\u002F\u002Fpurenintendo.com\u002Freview-shantae-advance-risky-revolution-nintendo-switch\u002F","2025-09-19","7",70,{"id":56,"author":57,"outlet":60,"summary":65,"review_url":66,"review_date":67,"original_score":68,"normalized_score":54},396870,{"id":58,"name":59},3920,"Richard Seagrave",{"id":61,"logo":62,"name":63,"website_url":64,"score_format":49},27,"https:\u002F\u002Fcdn.criticdb.com\u002Fstorage\u002Fv1\u002Fobject\u002Fpublic\u002Favatars\u002FOutlets\u002FGameSpew-Logo.jpg","GameSpew","https:\u002F\u002Fwww.gamespew.com","This long-lost chapter of the Shantae series provides more of the hair-whipping and belly-dancing action that it's known and loved for.
