Stalin vs. Martians out on Wednesday

By Ellie Gibson Published 27 April, 2009

Arcade RTS title to cost less than 20 quid.

Mezmer Games has announced its latest PC offering, Stalin vs. Martians, will be released on Wednesday 29th April.

Billed as a "not-so-epic RTS game", Stalin vs. Martians sees you playing as the Red Army. The game is set in 1942 during an Alien invasio, and it's your job to see the intruders off. Mission briefings are delivered by funny old mass murderer Stalin himself, and he even becomes a playable unit later in the game.

"The game is ready for deployment," said Tom Söderlund, Executive Producer at Mezmer Games. "Fans of historically inaccurate World War II games everywhere will rejoice."

Stalin vs. Martians will be available via all manner of digital distribution portals including GamersGate, Direct2Drive and Impulse. According to Steam it'll carry an RRP of GBP 16.99, but you can pre-order via the Steam Store for GBP 13.59.

    It looks funny, but the performance judging by the video was terrible. Could of just been the Steam vid player mind..

    I love games where they think up the title first then try to work out a game concept around it.

  • Gnort #3 3 years ago

    Amusing concept, but I doubt it will have 17 quid's worth of RTS attached to it. Although, who wouldn't to crush their foes with a giant Joseph Stalin?

    Remember, one death is a tragedy; a million is just a statistic.

    I guess humans aren't the only species that Stalin enjoys genociding.

    I think Red Alert is farfetched enough for Soviet antics, but I'll wait for the reviews.

    Time to be a spelling Commissar.

    "The game is set in 1942 during an Alien invasio"

    Please add the "n" unless of course the aliens are ruthlessly efficient and can do more with less.

    or is it a plan to save money in a recession by using less characters?

    Well, give me rather any game, in which I can kill Russians. RTS or FPS, it doesn't matter. As they are for me still the real Martians of this world. And as they slowly reemerge as a higly undemocratic and dangerous power in the world, I think that Operation Flashpoint theme will become very common in film and games.
    God, how I loved this game!
