Hell Yeah! Wrath of the Dead Rabbit

“Terrible respawn mechanics, have to sit through any and all cutscenes and dialogue again, and you don't get full health back, just whatever you had when you got to a respawn point!”

“Is a simple 2d platformer game with decent amount of action and a few backtracking elements that remind me of a few metroidvania games but it's not really a full metroidvania. You have different levels that you can move through teleportation devices and your objective is simple: you have 101 demons to kill in order to show you're some sort of badass demon villain. You have this buzzsaw vehicle that has a jetpack and different guns to use. The game has a decent amount of guns but most of them feel the same, there's no different tactics when it comes to using them and every demon was already easy enough, it's not like they posed a threat or change of style during the fights, all you do is shooting them until their HP reaches zero and a minigame that is either something simplistic like controlling a bus avoiding crashes or QTEs. Since it's repeated 101 times through the game and many minigames are reused it gets so old, repetitive, overused and boring. This game would have benefited if it was slightly shorter. I felt that the gameplay overstayed its welcome; they even try to introduce a few new mechanics or one-time ideas to keep it fresh but all they do is ruin the pacing of the game. We even get a completely worthless management minigame here that you barely have a reason to use at all. The game has some underdeveloped ideas and a mentality of throwing many stuff at once on a wall to see what sticks on it. The result at the end is just a decent but troubled game that can be fun on some occasions. Considering I got this game for free from one of Sega's giveaway packs which came with a bunch of other games and I had a bit of fun and there are a few qualities here mostly the soundtrack, art style and the first half of the game I had more satisfaction than frustration which was pretty present throughout my playthrough. However, if you manage to get this game during a sale when it reaches a very low price then I'll be fine recommending it to you, otherwise stay away because there are better games out there to play when it comes to the 2d platforming genre.”

“Awful checkpoint system, repetitive gameplay, questionable controls (seriously, what is this walljump mechanic), and an absolutely atrocious missions system that barely gives you enough time and instructions to complete them (where the heck is the goal in the cute land handle your fuel mission?)”

“The humor and writing is extremely cheesy and childish most of the time, not to mention that the story here to begin with is practically non-existent.”

“The story seems to start halfway through, like I missed a few levels or something, but no, it's just bad writing, the one consistent thing throughout the entire game.”

“The story is barebones, literally lmao.”

“I found the visuals would often get too cluttered to tell what exactly was going on in later levels, and the game absolutely has no desire to help the player out on that, having leap of faith moments as well as an inconvenient zoom out button that pauses your entire game while you use it.”

“The visuals suffer a lot of bloom, and the screen can be a little too busy at times, but death is trivial.”

“Everything to do with graphics and visuals is busy as all hell, to the point where sometimes you just sorta look at the screen and go "uh, what am I looking at here?" and while that doesn't bother me too much now I feel like it'd probably get on my nerves after a while.”

“If you play this game on the Steam Deck, you won't have music in the game.”

“I have come back to it years later since getting a Steam Deck, only to find that although it plays well enough, there is no background music at all. I've tried resolving this issue numerous times so far but to no avail. From what I'm led to understand, it appears to be a firmware update situation locked to an optimization issue with the Steam Deck.”

“The soundtrack consists of a few alternating 16 bar loops any eight-year-old could compose better in the trial version of FL Studio; it leaves the player with the delightful experience analogous to chewing tinfoil.”

“The special monsters are basically the keys to unlock doors when they're dead and for most of them it's an incredibly tedious process since the method for taking them down are usually either shoot them down or grind them down with your sawblade.”

“The jackpot achievement is a tedious grind with no merit.”

“The problems became apparent quite soon, as the game turned frustrating because of unskippable dialogue, a mess of a map that becomes quite hard to navigate making you lose track of where and what you were doing and even switching weapons became a clunky and tedious process.”

“Tedious platformer with little replay value.”

“As a result of the first two neutral points above, replay value is practically non-existent.”

“The replay value is next to none, unless you want to get all the achievements.”

“Some very annoying checkpoints, but nice OST, fun atmosphere, lot of drugs, and rip my eyes.”

“The atmosphere changes drastically each level.”

“Unforgiving platforming sections, boss fights that are harder to figure out than they should be, and minimal checkpoints and health stations when you need them most outweigh the comical atmosphere and boss finisher minigames.”

“I didn't enjoy the buggy segments that didn't work half the time, instant death and high damage dealt around every corner, and sparse checkpoints that revive you with whatever health you had when you reached it instead of full health, which made dying even more frustrating.”

“Controller support is buggy and I couldn't make it work.”

“Movements are inaccurate and the controller won't allow remapping, which makes absolutely no sense.”
