It's like pikmin except there's no captain olimar, honestly if you wanted to make a pro commy game that's how you would do it, show the power of a hoard and how it can all start with one person. Now if they allowed you to throat punch george soros, bezos, gates, etc. they could of appealed to the gamers. But no they only hate the millionares their told to hate and have made a game for no one.

Reading the blurb for the game has made me realize any game that advertises having a dog as one of it's features is always a piece of shit. It just screams desperation why not just put "lol we gots puppers that are good boys and bite allz teh bad badz" it's the same level of desperation you're just appealing to the people who would buy a game because dog.

Other ideas for a pro-commie game:
-Make one that's essential a sim management game where you try to organize a revolution and deal with all sorts of obstacles from tankies thinking you aren't doing it the way they think it should to capitalist business owners that think you're just another tankie tard to ignore.
-A modern day rip off of State of Emergency, a game Rockstar published where you choose from a small handful of people to fight against some corporation by doing shit like blowing up cars, opening fire on enemies in crowds of civillians, and doing whatever is said by the game announcer to get more points. Which honestly, could be something any left-wing game dev could do if they had a team working with Unity and focused on the likes of blowing up shit while slapping a Che Guevara picture or a communist logo on the player's team.

I love how the last two questions in that FAQ section were clearly never actually asked.

All a response to the small handful of raging tards that asked that question somewhere on Steam or Twitter.

Just saying, Molleindustria was doing better leftists-slanted flash games for free than these chumps were.

They're butt buddies with Molleindustria (he/him) on twatter, and both kneel before the girldick.

neat, glad to see the indie pixel retro game dev tradition of ripping off vastly, vastly superior SNES titles from the '90s is alive and well

Now this is just exceptional. Typefaces are not copyrightable, and there are precious few ways to arrange hueg pixels so the font is readable. Anyone who's making a game and not using the most readable typeface out there should 41%.
 
Still, I'm angry this game exists.
Sit with that a while. If a silly little pixel-art game about people rising up and overthrowing a repressive capitalist kleptocracy makes you so angry that you want to post pissy comments or review-bomb it, no one will stop you. But does the thought of people rationing insulin make you this angry? Do you think maybe your outrage has better places to go? No? Welp, see you in the comments.

I wonder how fast their tune of "lol, stop getting mad over vidya games it's just pixels on a screen" would change the moment a game advocating white supremacist or Nazi ideology showed up on the Steam Store page.

Also, it's funny how they say "No one will stop you" when they're banning people in the forums for simply stating their disapproval over a game that promotes extremism.

I think the reason they mention dogs as a "core feature" is because they're trying to mimic Undertale's signature quirkiness, as that game also listed dogs in its core features. However, it seems like yet another example of them attempting to copy something without realizing that Undertale had a lot more going for it than "We have dogs." It also wanted nothing more than to entertain its audience. Tonight We Riot simply wants to proselytize, but thankfully it seems like its only preaching to the choir.
 
I first thought this was like 'Hidden Agenda' or "Solidarnosc", where you have to play the power politicking game with disparate sides and try to keep your shit together to get a decent outcome.
 
i like the idea of being a rebel and smashing the system but when the entire rebellion revolves around "orange man bad" instead of the rest of the elites of society, it just makes it feel so forced and tasteless.
 
Mother Russia Bleeds is the true communist beat-em-up simulator.
 
Adherents to the ideology who's ultimate goal is to dismantle capitalism engages in capitalism, opting to make money off of the same adherents of the same ideology who's ultimate goal is to dismantle the concept of money.

Steam reviews and forum filled to the brim with complaints about cultural appropriation

Honestly, I want to say that I'm surprised and amused at how depressingly predictable the Antifa crowd has become over this past half decade, but I'm not
 
If I wanted a game where I can be a leftist criminal overthrowing the state I would just play Liberal Crime Squad. It's free, funny, and actually good.

Liberal Crime Squad was my gateway into Dwarf Fortress. As it came from the same creators, that’s not so strange, and they have a few common threads. LCS is more openly satirical, as your revolutionaries fight a right-wing US government by proselytising, blackmailing, and occasionally kidnapping and torturing citizens of one of its cities. Your goal is to change national attitudes towards dozens of issues, from the death penalty to, uh, AM radio.

You do this by sending people out to buildings in the city, stealing and vandalising and killing, but often just talking people into joining you, or kidnapping and brainwashing influential people. Less fighty people raise funds and peacefully spread the word by busking, publishing pamphlets, making and selling shirts, and uh, doing sex work. It’s bloody good fun, and when you cross the wrong people or simply up the ante, the horror of its violence is much more affecting than a few sentences of text ought to be.

For me, any overtly political game is going to suffer in comparison to Papers, Please. It's just that this one looks particularly insufferable. Some of the other game recommendations in the thread sound intriguing, though.
 
Not real socialists; real socialists wouldn't make you pay for their propaganda, and would instead offer a dropbox download. What happened to giving to the working class? Fake and bourgeoisie, gulag and a bullet in the head for these degenerate fakers. Karl Marx looks down on you in shame and pity. ☭

You're thinking full communist. A real socialist would ask the government to develop a program to distribute the game to the masses, taking the payment out of their taxes.
