“Personally I’m holding out for “Cromwell vs. Royalist Zombies: Lets Get Puritan!” as a sequel.”

That is the funniest thing I’ve read in a while.

Just wanted to add that GameSpot gave this game a 1.5. I think they’ve given games that don’t even boot a 2.0 before.

Also compare to the 6.5 it gave to zenoclash.

Haha, what’s next? Plants vs. Zombies? Add a couple of music videos, and IT CAN’T FAIL!!!

“The actual game becomes tedious within minutes”

Yeah, it does. It seems very deliberate too. I admire that. There’s no way you could make this the way it is without knowing precisely what you’re doing.

There was a moment in the second mission where I”d trapesed around the map the wrong way and couldn’t go any further as the bridge was out. So I had to trapes all the way back round again. Around the entire bloody map.

I couldn’t stop laughing. The sheer utter balls of that is admirable in the extreme. Same for the national anthem at the start.

I think I love it, but for very, very wrong reasons.

The more I think about it, the more I realise that the only times SvsM is really funny is when you’re not actually playing the main bits of it. The idle mucking about while waiting for missions to kick in, the ridiculous intro “cutscene” and interludes, the menu screen silliness… they’re the really funny bits. The actual game becomes tedious within minutes.

There is a whole god damned genre that awkwardly satirises the Soviet period. Devs usually pick a well known name (film character, some historical figure, Lenin, Stalin) and quickly assemble a crude resemblance of a game around it. Usually an adventure game, RPG or RTS in this case.

PLEASE POINT ME TOWARDS THESE GAMES.

I see you squeezed out something more worthy. Please remember to flush next time.

@phuzz

No, really, don’t buy it. I think it’s the sort of thing that if you played it at a mate’s house you’d get a good giggle for half an hour. But to actually spend £17 on it would be lunacy.

How the hell do 3 developers work on something like this?
