![]() ![]() Mother Russia Bleeds is out September 5th for PC. Mother Russia Bleeds brings back many of the same ideas Streets of Rage had, except the violence and intensity has been ramped up by an insane amount. And if the action holds up as much as the gore, it just might work. As a genre it has languished, occasionally explored by something like Guacamelee! (2013) but much more often abandoned in favor of the hack-n’-slash or the shooter. Mother Russia Bleeds ‘s goal, amid all the carnage, is to freshen up the beat-em’-up. ![]() The game is set in an alternate Soviet Union in the 1980s. Probably something to do with that plot thing. Mother Russia Bleeds is a 2D side-scrolling brawler with pixel art graphics. You’re also able to go into berserk mode from drugs that you extract from the corpses of people you kill, which is a surprisingly BioShock (2007) twist to a genre that was made popular by Final Fight (1989). There are bonus difficulties-survival and boss rush-plus local co-op for up to four people, so you can kill stuff with friends, too. ![]() There’s a plot somewhere in the game, obviously, something about drug addicts and jail and vengeance, but more importantly you can kill stuff for hours and hours and hours. ![]()
