What players say

I played this in 3 player co-op. Fun beat em up with great art and cool moves. Level design is cool with some fun set pieces. 3-4 hour romp that's fairly easy except for a few challenging fights. We knocked it out in two sessions. Didn't lean as heavily into the Russian theme as I expected, nor comment on political ideology much at all.

About the game

An old-fashioned beat 'em up with big doses of adrenaline and trippiness, somewhere between the classic style of Streets of Rage and the ultra-violence of Hotline Miami. Set in a cold, ruthless Soviet Union, Mother Russia Bleeds aims to conjure up anxiety, unease, and drug-addled frenzy.
