“Tonight We Riot” is an unapologetically political, socialist game about worker liberation in the face of overpowering capitalism. It’s also quite a bit of fun to play." - Variety

Please spend your money on our game, Tonight We Riot.
poor performance. I'm well above min specs, as I'm sure most people are, but the game had dipped under 60 FPS multiple times. Not really cool.
mundane and simplistic mechanics devoid of strategy or intelligent design. You literally just spam attack button over and over while holding a directional key. It's not interesting
story is whack. It starts with "capitalism bad" and then apparently you just committ mass violence and that somehow solves all problems. Leftism in a nutshell I guess.
I resorted to trying to speed run and seeing how much combat I can skip to go straight to the end of a level, but I got soft locked and was forced to just exit back to the main menu to start over. Not sure if it's a bug or something. I think the game gets confused if you stop killing people. not cool!
pros: the art is great.
For a giveaway game it's not bad, a few steps above Newgrounds web games of ~15 years ago. It's actually kind of fun running around wrecking stuff and causing havoc. Typical of woke entertainment the narrative isn't anything substantive to pay attention to, and works to keep all the correct hamsters on their wheels. The progressives get to role play fighting some power structure only they perceive; non-progs get the chance to be mad about it. Rinse, wash, repeat.
These game let players act out some woke resistance fantasy in a time when the left already runs everything....so in effect you take on the role of some group who is rebelling against itself. On a personal note, I enjoy watching the rise of woke culture pop out these kinds of narratives. Progressives are are never capable of actually creating anything, just destroying or at best appropriating what came before. The number of imaginative ways they come up with to destroy their own societies provides an endless dumpster fire to watch.
This games an easy 4, its a nice little horde game that's honestly a bit rough about the edges when it comes to controls, and if you didn't notice the review bombing by folks whose limited knowledge of political ideologies means they cant tell the difference between Totalitarianism and Syndicalism due to effective suppression of any perceived threat to the 'elites' in their home nation, this game has political themes.
Haven't even played this game yet but five stars just to annoy all the whiny fascists giving it one. Also
huge kudos for being a worker-owned studio. May update with a real review after playing.
