If you yearn for the good old days of side-scrolling beat-em-ups like Streets of Rage or Golden Axe, but wish they also had the visceral gore and sheer bloodiness of games like DOOM whilst maintaining those old school blocky graphics that have served games like Party Hard or Nidhogg so well, then your yearning could well be about to yield fruit in the form of Mother Russia Bleeds, check out the gameplay trailer below.
The gameplay and story of Mother Russia Bleeds from developer DevolverDigital is described as:
“Mother Russia Bleeds is an unrelenting, ultra-violent Beat ‘Em Up, brimming with hard-hitting action and game altering psychedelic twists. The game will be playable by up to 4 players.
“Set in an alternate U.S.S.R, the story focuses on an imprisoned antihero with a crippling drug addiction as he breaks free and barrels down a journey of hate-filled vengeance.”
Mother Russia Bleeds will be released on September 5 and is available for pre-purchase through GOG.com and Steam with a 10% discount for pre-purchasing bringing the price down from $14.99 to $13.49 on both systems.
I don’t know about you, but this looks absolutely amazing and is a big throw back to the type of games that first got me hooked into gaming. What do you make of this? Will you be partaking in Mother Russia Bleeds? Let us know in the comments below or in the RGM Forums.
