Jan. 2025

Very brutal beatem up with lots of fun to be had. It has no online co op only local for some stupid reason as the game seems built around the idea of online play. I was digging the weird enemy variety and really out there locations at times. Biggest gripes are the local only co op and the fact that some moves just don't work half of the time weather your doing them correctly or not and this led to me dying by being combo chained to death with little to nothing I could do about it. I recommend getting the different syringes as they are definitely worth obtaining as it leads to more interesting gameplay as a whole but more importantly I could hit people so damn hard they simply exploded. Hard to argue with that kinda motivation. P.S. For those who don't have a friend locally to jam with but would still like to or want to achievement hunt. I tried steam remote play and it was downright awful as usual so we tried something called Parsec and it was exactly what we needed. Give that a shot.

If you like the Streets of Rage series and also enjoy shooting up heroin then this game is definitely for you!

Had fun with this game. Tho surrounded combat is mostly jumping and air attacking so you don't get hit. Really liked the pixel art. I recommend playing with a friend

May 2024

every second of the game is pure pixel art and the music goes unspeakably hard

Damn good game with an ageless aesthetic. Mother Russia Bleeds is an old school beat em' up with no perks/upgrade system. The moveset you have at level 1 is what you have till the final mission. This may sound offputting, but the game is relatively short and doesn't overstay its welcome. There are some neat variety of missions that are carefully crafted that complement the combat system very well. The difficulty was just right for me on Normal - going between challenging and not too frustrating. I died a couple of times, but each time it felt like it was my fault. The game is very well balanced in that aspect, and more hardcore/casual players can select the easy/hardcore difficulty. Enjoyed every minute of the game and well worth the asking price!
