Soviet video game that will probably be anti-communist but eh.

How come you say it will probably be anti-communist? I haven’t watched much about it to be honest, but what I’ve seen didn’t look like it at all
The game’s tagline is “utopia is not what it seems”. And it makes a point of using robots with humane and cheerful design as bloodthirsty monsters. Plus the vids it has about special abilities.
*old woman voice*“I 'member when being against Nazism was seen as a virtue… nowadays being against it is seen as a vice, as opposed to being against Communism, a liberating force for mankind…”
using robots with humane and cheerful design as bloodthirsty monsters
I really, really dislike this trope.
Same, really. And then there’s the fact that the devs seem to have actually paid attention to the Soviet design traditions and the robots actually do kind of look like something that could be designed there.

Really? Even these two?
I really can’t imagine the USSR making androids that look like this (horny bait), at least.
I was talking about the clown robots and architecture, mainly. These two, imo, are proof the devs are libs.
It makes sense in lore, given that every robot was designed to be able to attack invading armies if the worst were to happen.
Right, fair points I guess. I really hope it’s not like that, because it does actually look pretty cool.
I low-key hope that it will work against the devs intention and get people interested in the aesthetic at least. Same way Paradox games had popularized German Empire and Fallout games popularized 1950’s Americana
A video game taking place in the URSS? You can bet it will have anticommunist rhetoric, actually the odds are so high that its not even worth betting.
Devs said on discord it won’t contain anti communist propaganda, but a couple days later they posted Slava ukraini…
Oh well good point. I guess I just expect such things nowadays from Western devs.
Aren’t the devs Russian?
Oh I didn’t know that, but they could be some of those “Russian liberals” like the guy that wrote the Metro 2033 series.
That does seem to be the case
Eyyup
The “propaganda” videos of the psychic child absolutely obliterating Porky repeatedly and gruesomely are supposed to have a dark, dystopian undertone to them. But they’re totally sick so I’m just going to steal them and use them long after people forget about this game. 😁 Probably won’t even be able to pirate it due to having such a terrible elderly computer.
Make Badass Phonk videos about them with the phrases used y great communists overlaid on the video!
