NetEase Games is promoting its upcoming action platformer Rusty Rabbit with a brand new demo for Nintendo Switch.
This demo allows you to play through the beginning of Stamp's adventure, with save data carrying over to the full release when it launches on 17th April 2025. Here's a bit more about what you can expect:
"In the demo, you'll hop on your trusty mech Junkster and explore the first level of Smokestack Mountain—the Upper Factory—to experience the basics of rust digging. You'll also meet Stamp's allies (?), the BBs. Beware, these cute furry fellows will never stop trying to recruit you, the veteran rust digger, to their gang of misfits!"
You can learn more about this new Metroidvania-style game in our original post. This demo release follows Switch demos for Diesel Legacy: The Brazen Age and The Hundred Line: Last Defence Academy.
Will you be trying out this demo ahead of the release? How are you finding it so far? Let us know in the comments.

Guys whatever y'all do don't buy this game. There's a chance that if you buy it and if this game become successful, NetEase may unexpectedly fired the dev who made this too just like how they fired the Marvel Rivals dev and the Visions of Mana dev. For some reason this crappy Chinese company hate success.
It looks like the graphics might be good. I do encourage free game demos so people can try before they buy.
@Serpenterror You say the dev was fired? Or you say the dev could be fired?
@Serpenterror the marvel rivals instance was them laying off a development ASSISTANCE team, as far as we know the games main developer is still perfectly safe and sound
And there’s another demo for me to try.
Downloaded, ready to go. I'll try and if I likey I'll buy.
Looks great, if I'm honest. The damage counter makes me wonder if it'll have some RPG elements too?
Nice that this got a demo and even more so since the save data carries over, might give it a try myself at some point (again, not anytime soon though as I'm too busy playing other games as usual)!
By the way, if you don't buy this game - as long as it interests you in the first place, that is - then the devs getting fired is even more likely...
Enjoyed the demo. Great game play with nice design and satisfying sound fx. A bit too much nonsense in terms of monologues from the main character.
I thought that this game's cover was accused of being AI generated.
@Serpenterror In case you aren't aware, NitroPlus is a mostly self sustained company dating back to the early 00s. Nothing is gonna happen to them
@Dazman Couldn’t find anything definitive on the Steam page, however, the screen shots show getting xp for certain actions like destroying a bunch of blocks. So I’d hazard a guess there’s some sort of leveling / skill tree type thing. Just unsure if it’ll be an actual rpg with leveling and gear, or if it’s just skills/abilities in a tree. Since it’s mainly listed as action platformer, it could be that it’s a “go anywhere” type of MV with ability gates locked in a skill tree and you effectively can choose which path to take based on your skill selection. I’ve seen those pop up a bunch in the MV Reddit the last couple years….
I've downloaded the demo, been curious about this one since the previous article here on NL. But demoing only the first level makes me affraid the game is quite short ..? Anyways, could be interested and there's already a physical version planned for end June, so I'm happy to try it out. Not sure it will be my cup of tea, but the overal trip sounds fun and gameplay looks like it could be fun too.
this game was called "bonkers" so many times over multiple articles that I'd come to believe it would be something special.
But we already have a Chinese Metroidvania featuring a sharply-dressed rabbit with mechanical enhancements!
It's called F.I.S.T.: Forged In Shadow Torch!
It came out on Switch too!
@Porky There's been a few that have gone that route. The recent remake of C64 classic Dropzone had blatantly AI-generated cover art - I honestly thought after all these years, System 3 knew better than to do that to Archer Maclean's legacy.
I’ve had a crack at the demo, it’s alright, just feels very… slow, laconic. Especially In the dialogue. Would benefit hugely from speed options.
Lemme see if this worth the hype.
@Wolfenpilot687 That was the first game I was thinking of when I saw ths video lol
Well demo isn’t available on EU switch shop … tf ?
