This game has more personality than a schizophrenia convention, being like a cross of WarioWare and Disgaea, thematically-speaking. You're a dead rabbit, who's also the prince of Hell, who's primary mode of transportation is a buzzsaw with an assortment of guns attached to it. That says plenty, right there.

That said, if the silliness of the game doesn't interest you, then it's not for you, as the gameplay is less than stellar. The platforming and shooting is mediocre at best, and frustrating at worst. If you're interested in this game, I'd honestly reccommend watching a playthrough rather than playing it yourself, as you'd probably have more fun that way.

The personality IS pretty great, though, not going to lie. Hell, if it does well enough, maybe we can see a sequel with enough of a budget to improve on the actual gameplay and be a truely radical game. MAYBE ONE DAY.

Hell Yeah! started of as a humorous action platformer but sadly grew repetitive quickly, and the boss fights that were unique and different in the beginning felt like a chore towards the end as they simply overstayed their welcome. Quite liked its graphical style and sound assets for most of it but in the end its not enough to way up for the bad parts of the game.

Most achievements are things you will get simply by progressing forward in the story which is quite nice. One of the few that require more focused time is the JACKPOT! achievement that requires you to get the jackpot on one of the games slot machines. There is litttle you can do about this one as its based on luck so be ready to spend a fair amount of time on it.

Time to 100%: ~7-9 hours

Playthrough time: 8 hours (a total of 9 hours including the time to get the Jackpot achievement)

+Lovely, totally over the top design - wacky and insane things all over the place
+Good looking graphics
+Works very well with a 360 controller
+Some nice changes of pace like the twin stick space shooter levels
+Good soundtrack

-Somewhat sloppy controls
-A combination of sparse checkpoints and sadistic design makes you replay long sequences

The game is great for using the Xbox 360 controller and playing on the TV from the couch. The game feels like it was made for the 360 controller, so I never played with the keyboard.

The game has low system requirements, so it should run well on most computers. For me it always stuttered for about half a second each time while auto saving, but this was the only issue I encountered.

Hell Yeah starts off with a story just as wacky as the rest of the game. You play as Ash, the skeleton bunny prince of hell, who has gotten private pictures of him bathing with a rubber ducky leaked, so to not seem like a weakling, you have to kill the 100 hell monsters who have seen the pictures.

The game itself is mostly standard platforming. You jump around, avoid obstacles, shoot stuff and navigate the levels to get to the 100 monsters. Each time you encounter one, and get its health down by shooting it or using objects in the environment (depending on the monster) you will get to play a mini-game for a chance to land the killing blow. The mini games are often just matching the right button(s)/get the timing right, but there are a few other ones. There are a lot of different ones, so each one isn't used more than 3, maybe 4 times.

You get to upgrade your health and weapons, and some levels have vehicles: in one you control a submarine, and another one a space ship, and the game turns in to a twin stick shooter. This was quite a nice change of pace.

What the game does best is all the wacky things happening:

*Killing a monster by lifting weights, turning in to a super sized muscular bunny that kicks the monster into a soccer goal so the net slices it up? Check.

*Starting in hell, but after a few levels placing you in an overly cute world, with background music with lyrics, where a woman with a French accent sings "You're a fancy bunny - Together, we're happy"? Check.
http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=473482634

*Low on health, health bar reads "F**K"? Check.

*Shop with rap music and a bunny robot clerk, bouncing lowriders in the background? Check.
http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=474286379

*Get the controls reversed and the game writes "LOL" at the screen, troll style? Check.
http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=473482603

I really enjoyed all these things, and I realised that for me, I didn't come back for the gameplay, I came back for all the wackyness. To come around a corner, hear the muffled rap music indicating a shop nearby, enter and hear the full "Money, money gold!" rap parody. The music in the game is very enjoyable and well done.

One design choice I didn't like is that after you stop moving, your character "glides" a bit, which makes it really hard to make certain jumps. You get the jump just right, but when you land at the very small platform, you glide over the edge. This makes the controls not feel very "tight". Combine this with the level design, which has the checkpoints maybe 3-5 minutes between, and some sadistically hard jumps with insta-death spikes if you miss your jump, and I guess that this will send quite a few gamepads airborne and lead to rage quits. When you repeat the same 3-minute section for the 10:th time and have to play it all over again, yet another time. You also have to rewatch any "cutscenes" that appear during that section.

I'm no pro platformer, so there were sections where I had to try many times to get it right, and even though I have lots of patience, I was close to quitting a few times.

So, I wouldn't recommend this game only for the gameplay. It's fine but it has its drawbacks. If you think you would appreciate all the crazy stuff happening, and can ignore the annoying parts, you're up for a good time with Hell Yeah!

My playtime: 10.6h (based on Steam, 100% achievement)
Grindy Achievement(s): No (2 achievements might be grindy to some people).
Optional Achievement(s): Yes (11 achievements).
Difficult Achievement(s): No.

---

Hell Yeah! Wrath of the Dead Rabbit is filled with 2D, cartoonish characters with the addition of foggy and lighting effects. The use of both effects makes the characters look softer and blend well with the background, especially with the background that is portrayed in a more realistic style compared to the characters. Some objects still retain the same 2D look although the terrain and walls are looking more like 3D in 2D plane with the lack of black outline and the use of shadows.

The story isn't the main point of this game. Some dialogues act as fillers or tutorials and can be safely ignored if you choose to do so. The only important story is the cutscene at the beginning and end of the game, which also doesn't mean much in the first place. Despite the meaningless story, the game doesn't offer a skip function for the dialogues. This tends to give some trouble when you are repeating some boss fights since you have to read the same dialogues over and over again.

Gameplay
Exploring the area and killing mini-bosses are the core of this game. The game starts just like other platformer games where you have to explore the whole area to reach the boss room. Some parts of the area are locked and can only be accessible by defeating some mini-bosses, which are spread across the entire zone. Luckily, you don't have to worry about finding them - the game has a very useful minimap to help you find whatever you want, whether it's a healing point, the next boss location, or other important features that will be unlocked later in the game.

Although most zones have the same mechanic, some will require you to play by a certain rule. One zone requires you to clear some area without using your weapon, forcing you to either use a turret or utilize the environmental hazards to kill the mini-bosses. Some zones will also change the game into more of a shooter genre, where you control either a rocket or submarine and explore the area to defeat the remaining mini-bosses. These varying mechanics add more variety to the game and makes it not too repetitive.

Combat
The game is packed full of combat scenes, and it doesn't disappoint. Over 100 mini-bosses are spread across 10 zones for you to beat, all with different attack patterns and methods to beat. Although most enemies can be defeated with your guns, some bosses are trickier to beat, requiring you to either use the environmental hazard or the new mechanic that is exclusive to that zone. However, although the game will give you some hints on how to kill these unique mini-bosses, some hints are not clear enough, causing confusion as to what to do.

Killing mini-bosses is fun and rewarding. Depleting the mini-bosses' health will trigger a minigame which you must complete to kill the mini-boss. There is no correlation between the minigame and the mini-bosses - you need to do some ridiculous actions such as answering a silly multiple-choice question, squeezing the enemy by smashing the Space button, or the others before the killing scene kicks in. The game will show the killing scene in Danganronpa style afterward, connecting the ridiculous minigame with the killing in a hyperbolic way. Although the game has different minigames at first, the same minigame will be reused later on, reducing the satisfaction of killing them.

Three unique bosses will be spread across some zones for you to beat. These bosses are tougher than the mini-bosses and can be a bit bothersome at first, especially if you are not good at platformer games. Learning the attack patterns is vital in defeating these bosses, and if you are good at the game, you also can try to defeat them without losing any health. To be honest, defeating these bosses doesn't feel satisfying compared to the mini-bosses since there aren't any cool killing scenes at the end of the fight.

Missions
Three missions are available to take in each zone and finishing them will net you some rewards. The missions are usually divided into four types: killing enemies, reaching the goal, collecting coins, and performing tricks. While the first three are simple enough to beat as long as you keep on trying, the last one is not keyboard-friendly. You need to reach a high altitude and turn your analog stick to perform tricks. Due to the control scheme, it makes the "turning the analog stick clockwise" to be "pressing the WASD button in succession" on the keyboard, making the command to be harder to execute. Moreover, the instruction tends to not be clear in this regard that I couldn't complete one mission because of this.

Length and Difficulty
I finished the game in 9h and continued playing the DLC content for 1.5h. The rest of my playtime is spent in farming the death achievement, which doesn't take long since I already died a lot from playing the DLC content. The game was easy to beat, to the point that you just need to charge your way in most of the time to defeat the mini-bosses. There were some areas, especially the boss fights, that require some skills to beat, but that shouldn't give you too much trouble, especially since the game provides a lot of weapon upgrades and buffs.

Problems
The game has an island feature where you can take your defeated mini-bosses and force them to work for you, giving you some in-game bonuses in return. However, I hardly got any bonuses before I finished the game and it turns out that the bonuses aren't much use either. Moreover, it took some time and effort to assign the mini-bosses to work that it doesn't feel rewarding to do.

Intel Core i5-9300H 2.40GHz, 8GB RAM, NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1650

To be honest, I didn't expect much from this game, especially since it was an old game that I never heard about. However, the game turned out to be a great stress-reliever, and it works wonders with the easy-to-play and satisfying gameplay. It might have been designed to be played in short bursts, but I have finished zones after zones without realizing it. It's all thanks to the finishing moves that show up after defeating the mini-bosses, and I couldn't stress enough how satisfying it is to watch.

You’re a skeleton-bunny prince of Hell looking for revenge after having some nudes leaked to the internet. What else do I need to say?

* PORTUGUêS *

Você é um coelho-esqueleto príncipe do inferno procurando vingança por terem vazado nudes seus na internet. O que mais preciso dizer?

This is a game where you HAVE TO:

- Watch the same "first encounter" animations over and over and over and over if you die and come back to the same creature again.

- Watch the same dialogues over and over and over and over if you die and come back to the same area again.

- Do the same things you just did over and over and over and over because the game uses a very spare checkpoint system.

- Watch the same "fatality" videos (which are very cool and funny at first) over and over and over for 101 times, until you get sick of them.

- Watch the ending credits, which is VERY long, until the very end.

The game starts as a very colorful and different type of platform game, and for the first few hours it's very fun and even addicting. But after a while, the spare checkpoints start to infuriate you as you die countless times in some of the places. Make no mistake, this game is HARD. It starts to get boring and the game feels like a chore. If it wasn't for my OCD for unfinished games, I'd have stopped playing this at about 50th or 60th creature. After that limit, the game gets very bland very fast.

There are some neat ideas though. "The Island" is a very fun addition to the game. It helps keep things interesting and fun for a while. The creatures are really funny and most of dialogue is above average in terms of creativity (there are some old, boring jokes and memes though).

Overall, I'd recommend this game only if you have a lot of patience and an insatiable hunger for platform games. Otherwise, stay away from this game for the sake of your sanity.

Pretty neat action platformer. I enjoyed the sweet weapons and the excellent level design. Tons of things to collect and lots of interesting areas to check out. The art style really brings everything together nicely and it kind of reminds me of the old Jazz Jackrabbit games. It's got a great little campaign mode packed with some laughs along the way. I think this is a great little game!

Hell yeah!

Ha ha, Hell Yeah! Wrath of the Dead Rabbit is a zany comedy action-platformer where you go on a bloody rampage as a skeleton bunny, fighting to regain your throne as prince of Hell while armed with drill (more like a ring blade) and a huge variety of improbably heavy weapons. I won't go into details because humour constitutes the game's greatest value but Hell Yeah! will keep you amused for a couple of hours, or for about 25 to 30% of its overall content. It's just the sort of product that makes me apprehensive of "comedy" games; past the initial chuckle you'll find that there's very little in the way of content.

Still, I'm giving Hell Yeah! a Thumbs Up because although I was apprehensive of its many questionable design decisions, I've found nothing too offensive during play and the shock humour DID succeed in making me laugh. Design decisions such as mapping jump to a face button, aiming to the right stick and firing the right trigger; it seems cumbersome to do everything at once but there is enough leeway preventing you from getting frustrated. Or like holding jump for a floaty "jetpack"-like super jump. You dread the moment where you'll have to "float" just underneath a set of ceiling spikes but such a situation never occurs.

There's A LOT of material to go through so you're certain to get your money's worth, except that it does get repetitive after a while. Hell Yeah! makes an earnest attempt at providing as much monster variety as possible but inevitably, monster patterns and executions loop around and the game turns into a slog. You gain about a dozen different weapons but little to no difference in strategy. There's even extra value in the form of post-story extra missions; but they usually involve platformer racing or killing a certain amount of enemies within a time limit. The most pedestrian of added content.

If you've already obtained this game during the Sega giveaway and haven't played it yet, then save it for a rainy afternoon or during a period when you're particularly down in the dumps. Avoid reading about it as much as possible and simply allow the story to surprise you for as long as it can. If you do not already have this game in your library and are currently staring down its 16,99$ price tag, then no, I most certainly do not recommend the purchase. Steam sale only, with the understanding that you're playing this game strictly for laughs.

Hell Yeah! is a 2D platformer, like no others, with a huge amount of humor and elements that bring quite some addiction. It's totally a must for everyone that likes platformers, wants to get some laughs or maybe even got bored by other more 'common' platformers.

Gameplay
The gameplay overall is fun and addicting, besides the main-game, you also have few "mini-games" when you kill bosses, which are very entertaining.
The game can be challenging sometimes, not too much, not too less.
You have multiple weapons to choose from, and a set of abilities.

Who wouldn't like playing as a psychopathic mad rabbit with an arsenal of tools designed for killing?

Soundtrack
While it might not join my Top 5 OSTs, it sure is very nice and fits the game perfectly, you can hear in the music that the artists put quite some effort in making it.

You're a fancy bunny, together, we're happy...

Hidden stuff and achievements
I want to say that this game has dozens and dozens of easter eggs, some are obvious, some are less obvious, and the developers implemented them in the funniest ways possible.

Achievements - Some of you might like collecting achievements and to get them until the very end.
In this game, achievements are relatively easy to get, personally, the most time consuming one took me around 2 hours of constantly pressing the bloody 'E' key trying to get the highest prize on slots.

'Hunting' achievements in this game was a very fun and joyful ride for me, and i hope it will be for you too.

Bottom Line
I personally consider it does have plenty of replayability.

Final Scores
Gameplay 95/100
Story 100/100
Soundtrack 85/100 (It was great, but wasn't exactly my style)
