Shantae: Risky's Revenge – Director's Cut is a powder keg of high octane, hair-whipping, hip shaking action! It features thousands of frames of animation, huge multi-sprite bosses, and a quest so big it's bursting at the seams.

Guide "half-genie" Shantae through haunted wastes, burning deserts, enchanted forests, dripping caverns and deadly labyrinths.
