Tonight We Riot

Fascism was born from worker unions fighting government and authority. The thug-like tactics used by union bosses is where the fear of Fascism started. It never was a political philosophy, movement, or regime.

Like Pikmin if Pikmin was deeply upsetting to people who got their politics from youtube videos and 4chan.

A classic side-scrolling arcade game that presents a humorous take on dystopian comic book fiction. The beat-em-up cartoon action is deliberately over the top, featuring enemies like mutant tentacle monsters, robot cops, mutated crustaceans, giant killer robots, "segway cops", and stone lions shooting lasers from their eyes. The stages can be selected from a world map and get increasingly difficult, offering brawls, boss fights, and your stereotypical car chase. That said, the difficulty is rather low and the game is short. You will probably beat it in less than four hours, perhaps add another four if you want to get full stars and all achievements on every stage. It does have an "endless" mode as well which adds a nice touch. The soundtrack is classic arcade pop and one of the rare cases where I actually turned the in-game music louder. The game mechanics and presentation work well. No technical issues, no show-stoppers. In one or two places your protagonists can get hidden behind obstacles and you don't see what you are doing, but that's about it. Other than that I found no issues. All in all, the game is tons of fun, even if a little short.

First off just a few complaints. I wish there was slightly more control over your mob because in some parts of the game it is impossible for them to not end up going in holes, exploding, or being turned into crab people. While it doesn't effect the game in of itself, you do get extras from having more of your workers survive so it can be frustrating for people who want those extra anarcho syndicalist cogs. However it is fun. You run through the level freeing workers to join your mob and take on those in power. Also there's little fun gameplay options when you go through each level. Like killing the yellow flag waving boss frees those workers with chainsaws, which they don't keep. If you're workers are too close to toxic barrels they become tentacled horrors when they leak and so on. The bosses also have their fun strategies however keeping everyone alive but you can be a challenge. Still though they do seem pretty easy and don't really scale significantly in difficulty. Overall some bits of it can be frustrating keeping me from giving it five stars but it's still incredibly fun. Think of a brawler combined with lemmings.

I didn't think I'd like it but it's free so I checked it out. The background pixel art's nice and the 2D crowd brawler design is pretty enjoyable and relatively fresh. Better than another Streets Of Rage-inspired beat 'em up. Over-simplistic and bombastic in its politics, but it's nice to see some pro-worker, anti-cop, anti-reactionary video games. Try it out.
