Shantae Advance: Risky Revolution

Players expressed satisfaction due to the game's high quality across various aspects, including its art, writing, music, and overall gameplay experience. The familiarity of the game, its successful revival, and specific features like item searching and challenging genre elements also contributed to positive feelings.

Disappointment stemmed from numerous issues such as game bugs, performance problems, and a perceived lack of features. Players were also let down by the game's content-to-price ratio, poor design choices, and the absence of expected features like modern graphics in a modern version or specific language support (Japanese, Russian, Chinese).

Frustration was primarily caused by technical issues, including game freezes, crashes, and performance problems, even when meeting system requirements. Other sources of frustration included high DLC pricing, restrictive purchasing, unskippable cutscenes, and the lack of essential features like an area map or proper keyboard configuration.

Joy was frequently associated with the game's overall quality, charm, and engaging gameplay. Specific elements like the characters (especially Shantae), the game's aesthetic, humor, and a sense of nostalgia for GBA-era games also brought players happiness.

Players felt excitement due to engaging gameplay, interesting characters, and the introduction of new mechanics. The release of the game itself, the enjoyment of new content, and a general liking for the Shantae series also generated excitement.
