Mezmer Games has announced that their upcoming historically accurate real-time strategy game Stalin vs Martians is coming out a bit later than originally intended, in order to apply another layer of polish.
Nothing can top Stalin dancing to retro techno, nothing. But seeing a teen in pink spandex groove to All Hail Stalinator gets pretty close.
We’re quite confident that this trailer for PC real-time strategy Stalin vs. Martians is the only game trailer ever to feature a techno-dancing Joseph Stalin.
We’ve mentioned the Russian RTS Stalin vs. Martians, which is set in Siberia circa 1942 and features the Red Army versus … martians. Kieron Gillen has posted a funny interview with Alexander Shcherbakov, the lead creator, over at Rock, Paper, Shotgun, which features tantalising hints at future projects (A game featuring Lenin? A winter add-on pack for Stalin vs. Martians?), as well as some generally gaming related chatter:
We might need to keep a closer eye on Black Wing Foundation, the Russian developer responsible for the upcoming messiah-cloning, god-as-computer game Salvation, as their game concepts are pretty far out there. They’ve just announced their new PC game, a joint project with Dreamlore and N-Game entitled Stalin vs. Martians. It’s an RTS that pits Russian armies under Stalin against…well, Martians. The game begins with invaders from the red planet descending on 1942 Siberia. I’m not making this up.
Stalin takes the anti-ET military operation under his personal control. The operation is top secret and practically nobody knows about the fact of extraterrestial intervention. You take control of the Red Army troops and start kicking the alien butts under the wise Stalin’s guidance.
What more can I say? It’s an RTS that has Stalin fighting aliens, due out for the PC by the end of the year. Crazy. More »
