About the game

THEY CAME FROM A COMMUNIST PLANET is a first-person riot game where aliens reach earth and trigger a socialist revolution. Break through police lines with bricks and molotovs as you follow the aliens into a communist future!
Description from the Steam store page.
Minimum specs

Minimum on the Steam store: 4 GB of memory, Intel HD 4000, 297 MB of storage. Windows only.

The value story

Against its own genre it lands in the top 7 percent on value. It is better reviewed than 89 percent of its genre. The nearest things to it, Super Bernie World (free, scores 52) and Mr.President! ($9.99, scores 54), are both worse buys on this math.

What players say

Really beautiful game, the action parts are fun and the story is really good and reflects the true reality of capitalism, unfortunately it is very short, I would love to have a longer game or a second part.

"They Came From a Communist Planet" is a poorly made RTS-lite about aliens arriving on Earth to trigger a socialist revolution, and it centers around experiencing a tale of greed and depression. What do you do in the game? It's kind of a very lame and shallow "RTS" like experience, but really as the store blurb already makes clear, being a decent game for gamers was never a priority, this is a crap "art" piece...
