Erina, a rabbit transformed into a human with rabbit ears, wakes in an unfamiliar world. With Ribbon, a fairy who stays by her side, she explores the island in search of a way back to her former life.
Erina fights at close range with her hammer, while Ribbon provides ranged magical attacks. Alongside platforming and exploration, combat centers on dodging bosses’ elaborate projectile patterns and finding chances to strike.
The island’s areas connect through routes that can be explored in different orders. Finding items and upgrades improves Erina and Ribbon’s abilities, helping open new paths; hidden techniques can also let players reach places early. Difficulty options and modes such as Boss Rush and speedrun add further ways to play.
Reviewers who enjoy Rabi-Ribi often praise its demanding boss battles, freeform exploration, and the satisfaction of learning attack patterns or discovering hidden routes. The soundtrack and the range of difficulty and replay challenges also recur as highlights. Some reviewers find the difficulty spikes and long fights frustrating, and others criticize the story, map guidance, or anime-style presentation.
There never quite seem to be enough bunny girls in the world, so here is another for you aficionados out there. This 2D sidescrolling exploration platformer follows the adventure of Erina, whose humdrum life as a regular rabbit is turned upside-down when she finds herself in an unknown world and turned into a human (with rabbit ears)!
Along the way she meets the cheerful pink-haired fairy, Ribbon, who mysteriously chooses to stay by Erina’s side.
These unwitting heroes embark together on their quest to restore Erina’s life to normalcy, but who knows what troubles lurk, waiting for them…
Rabi-Ribi is a 2D exploration platformer that focuses on non-linear gameplay. There will be hints to guide the player along, but they’re never required to follow them, which allows for much greater freedom to—you guessed it—explore.
Players will play as our protagonist Erina, who focuses on close quarters combat. Ribbon the fairy is the ranged attacker who follows Erina’s lead, indirectly controlled by the player.
Erina may be a little rabbit that was turned into a human, but that doesn’t stop her from being capable of some pretty neat moves.
Both Erina and Ribbon’s abilities can be improved by learning new skills and attacks through collecting items and upgrades that are spread throughout the world.
