For hard-core gamers, Takaya Kuroda’s voice should sound familiar, though his name may not ring a bell. The Japanese voice actor brings Kazuma Kiryu to life in Like a Dragon and Yakuza. His work is heard in dozens of other video games and anime, but his deep and intimidating timbre is so distinct that fans immediately recognise him.
It’s one of the reasons that Rusty Rabbit piqued my interest when it was first unveiled. When I heard Kuroda’s voice coming out of the mouth of an anthropomorphic rabbit, I had to play the game. Initially, the campaign seems to follow the typical Metroidvania formula. Players take on the role of Stamp (voiced by Kuroda), a scavenger who digs through the ruins of Smokestack Mountain, using a mech he calls Junkster.
