Shantae Advance: Risky Revolution first began development all the way back in 2002, just before the release of the first Shantae game on Game Boy Color. However, this next installment was canceled in 2004. Unfortunately, the Metroidvania wasn't too popular at the time, having only amassed a cult following years after its first release. Now, though, with the Shantae series amassing much popularity, the time feels right to bring its lost game to light.

In the year 20XX, cities were suddenly flooded with demons in the form of monsters and spirits that suddenly appeared in the city, sparking an all-out Demon War.

Even now, more than 30 years later, demons still roam the streets and harm humans wherever they go.

In this exploration-heavy 2D action game, use your demon sword to interfere with the past, create platforms, and shield yourself from danger to explore a dystopian cyberpunk world depicted in gorgeously animated pixel art.

Could be good news โ€” reviews were decidedly mixed for this game: great art direction and puzzles, bad mechanics. Maybe it can live up to its full potential.
