Fortunately, these beat downs are easy to dish out, with the player able to mix together weak and strong attacks together into a variety of combos.

Gameplay-wise, you’re getting exactly what you’d expect from a side-scrolling beat ‘em up: a bunch of levels to get through that are full of enemies to beat down. It’s a grim and hate-fuelled quest, but it’s one that’ll provide plenty of motivation for the violent escapade than ensues. After being experimented on and abused whilst imprisoned, you break free with one goal in mind: to bring down the government and anyone else associated with ‘Nekro’. Mother Russia Bleeds puts you in the worn shoes of one of four prisoners of an alternate USSR, with the government and its police force all supporting a new drug known as ‘Nekro’. Fortunately, it’s just released on the Nintendo Switch so I’ve finally got to play through the ultra-violent side-scrolling beat ‘em up and it feels like a real blast to the past – albeit one that full of blood, guts and drugs. It’s been on my radar, but there has always seemed to be something else to play instead. Somehow though, I missed out on Devolver Digital’s Mother Russia Bleeds when it first launched back in 2016.
You don’t see so many releases in the genre these days, but when one comes along I always like to give it a try. After growing up in the 90s and enjoying the likes of Streets of Rage, Golden Axe and the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles arcade games, I’ve got a bit of a soft spot for side-scrolling beat ‘em ups.
