    Humankind abandoned Earth as it entered another ice age. Over time, those who came to hold dominion over the world were... rabbits!?

    After humanity left, the rabbits referred to humans as "giants" and revered the massive ruins left behind as "Smokestack Mountain." Those fearless enough to violate and excavate this sacred site are known as "rust diggers." The protagonist, an old rabbit named Stamp, is one such rust digger, making a daily routine of excavating Smokestack Mountain.

    One day, on his way back from exploring Smokestack Mountain, Stamp encounters a rust digging team known as the "BBs" and ends up joining them in a quest to delve deeper into the heart of Smokestack Mountain.

    Along the way, Stamp discovers records from ancient information storage devices called "D-TAMs" scattered throughout the ruins. One of these records appears to belong to his estranged daughter, hinting at her peril and revealing hidden truths about the world he once believed in.

    To unravel many mysteries and follow his daughter's trail, Stamp continues his journey into the depths of the ruins...

    Rusty Rabbit constantly kept me entertained with its easy and fun gameplay, extensive lore and super cute visuals. I had an absolute blast drilling through bricks, chatting with the BBs and exploring all the different connected dungeons. Though some elements, such as the skill tree and reasons for requests, were hard to understand, I was always super pumped when I booted up Rusty Rabbit and got to spend time as a middle-aged, grumpy, yet strong and courageous junk yard bunny.

    The tough mechanized rabbit will win your sympathy and bring action and fun in a nice way. But you may also have problems, especially with mastering the controls.

    Rusty Rabbit is an interesting title, with a strong plot in a colourful world. However, the gameplay and dialogue can drag at times.

    Rusty Rabbit is a decent Metroidvania with some interesting ideas, but clunky movement and frustrating combat make it a tough sell.

    Yet despite these conveniences, Junkster never stops feeling awkward and clumsy to pilot. [Issue#411, p.122]

    Rusty Rabbit is a serviceable Metroidvania at best, which just isn’t enough to warrant a recommendation. If you love rabbits, or Takaya Kuroda, then you might get a few laughs out of this game, but chances are you won’t actually enjoy playing it that much. It’s a shame: a great concept, some half-decent writing in places, let down by shoddy controls and gameplay.
