Rabi-Ribi Reviews
However large a developer’s budget might be, there’s just no substitute for inspired design, which Rabi-Ribi has in spades.
Rabi-Ribi is definetely not a bad Metroidvania, it´s actually a pretty damn fine one. Featuring silly ideas mixed with silly, adorable art, classic gameplay, spiced up by great unique features and a giant explorable world full of secrets. Because of these great things, it´s easy to forget about the below average story, weak characters, strange upgrade pacing and minimal technical issues. During my 15 hours long playhtrough, I absolutely loved Rabi-Ribi for its bunny girls (who doesn´t love chibis?) and great gameplay and it´s a great fit for the Vita.
Look past the overly-saccharine exterior, and you have an excellent game that marks a strong start for indie releases in 2016.
Rabi-Ribi is a thoroughly enjoyable take on the "MetroidVania" and "bullet-hell" genres.
