Our new Indie Games subforum is now open for business in G&T. Go and check it out, you might land a code for a free game. If you're developing an indie game and want to post about it, follow these directions. If you don't, he'll break your legs! Hahaha! Seriously though.
Our rules have been updated and given their own forum. Go and look at them! They are nice, and there may be new ones that you didn't know about! Hooray for rules! Hooray for The System! Hooray for Conforming!

Stalin to crush the Martian scum
The brilliantly titled Stalin Vs. Martians is billed as a simplified game designed "for anyone who just hates the strategy genre," with fun and action taking top billing over the kind of micromanagement that's normally the genre's calling card. Says the game's website: "The only resources you can find on the map are power-ups. They look like they should: like shiny rotating coins of bright colors." The devs even state that Stalin himself will be a playable unit in the later stages of the game, as he lumbers on the field as "a huge colossus, five times higher than any other creature. Just like it was in the real life."

This sounds like it'd be a bit of a laugh. Who doesn't want to control a building-sized Stalin that potentially shoots laser beams out of its eyes while shouting propaganda? I know I sure do

"Must... Crush... Capitalism!"
oh man!
Spoiler alert!
The FAQs page is pretty good:
Vopros: Stalin was a terrible tyrant with bloodstained hands. How can you make such a game around that?
Otvet: We can talk for hours about Stalin and all the controversies that surround him. We're Russians and we possibly know the subject better than you. But all this talk doesn't make any sense, you know, at all. Accept Stalin vs. Martians as a montypythonesque humor or get the fuck out of here.
Coward my ass.
"that I must bow so low?
Only a cat of a different coat,
that's all the truth I know.
In a coat of gold or a coat of red
a lion still has claws;
And mine are long and sharp, my lord
as long and sharp as yours."
And so he spoke, and so he spoke,
that lord of Castamere,
but now the rains weep o'er his hall,
with no one there to hear.
Yes now the rains weep o'er his hall
and not a soul to hear.

So Stalin is Doctor Strange?

I have no way to counter that...you win
He was a terrorist and a thug who became the supreme ruler of one of the most powerful countries in the world, so no, not really.
Coward? no. Paranoid? Yes
I wonder if he took the Russian version of the Captain America super serum to become this awesome.
These screens are high filesize, so I'll just link to the page--the game looks pretty good! The Martians especially have a lot of character to them. They should be a lot of fun to blow up.
Are those... Cacodemons from Doom?? They really look like them D: :lol: Fuck thats awesome

I wouldn't say coward, but he couldn't accept even minor setbacks. For example, he was seriously considering surrender in 1941, but fortunately his generals pressured him.
