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.

One of the best beat em' ups i've ever played. Really good game, every aspect of it is impeccable - music, art, bosses, mechanics, gameplay. Every punch and effect is perceptible and feels just right. Great enemy variety and challenging situations keep you on edge. Hardcore mode is a mess on it's own. Setting is also very unique, it's unbelievably great game. Highly recommended and a must play if you love beat em'…

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. I'm ok with it, but it's different than what I expected from Mother Russia…

It looks like a 90's emo kid's idea of "edgy" and the combat is fairly lack luster. It gets old fast and by the end boss I just didn't care enough to finish it. There are much better beat 'em ups out there.
