Hell Yeah! Wrath of the Dead Rabbit
Oct 03, 2012 14 years ago
Ash, a skeletal rabbit and the prince of Hell, has inherited the role of ruler of Hell from his father. After a photographer takes a picture of Ash playing with a rubber duck in the bathtub, Ash sets out to kill the 100 monsters that have seen the photo, to restore his image. The world of Hell Yeah! Wrath of the Dead Rabbit has several zones with different visual styles, including "haunted caves, science labs, casinos and spaceships full of talking animals". The player navigates these zones by traveling on a large buzz-saw-like circular blade that can cut through the environment, can fire a variety of projectile weapons, and is equipped with a jetpack. Ash is assisted in his quest by his butler, Nestor, a top hat-wearing Octopus.
What it’s like
Hell Yeah! Wrath of the Dead Rabbit is a visceral, side-scrolling action-platformer that prioritizes chaotic fun over narrative depth. You play as Ash, a vain skeletal rabbit prince seeking vengeance against monsters who saw an embarrassing photo of him. The experience is defined by its high-energy momentum; you traverse diverse, stylized zones—from haunted caves to sci-fi labs—mounted on a massive, jetpack-equipped buzzsaw that serves as both your transport and primary weapon. The tone is irreverent and comedic, leaning heavily into scatological humor and pop-culture references rather than serious storytelling. Visually, the game is a standout, offering sharp, vibrant art styles that shift with each environment, complemented by an excellent rock soundtrack. While the core loop of shooting, sawing, and looting is incredibly satisfying, the experience is somewhat shallow in terms of mechanical complexity, focusing instead on delivering immediate, gory gratification through fast-paced combat and varied boss encounters.
