A game for workers by workers
We don't see it often. In fact, we barely see it at all but here it is, another game daring to take on the structures and systems of our society, mainly the economic system called capitalism. Usually the maximum amount of outrage we see when a game gets "political" is when a character creator doesn't mention male or female or when Nazis are getting killed. Don't be fooled, many games are political. People just don't notice because it's the dominant ideology that's being sold. Kill Russians, brown people, Chinese, get money, do (space) capitalism. This game is a critique of those types of games by showing there is another route you can take. Have you ever felt alienated? Felt that you worked hard and didn't see any fruit of your labor or you saw the same thing with other people. Did you ever wonder why so few have so much? Well, that's called capitalism, friend. Don't worry though. There is a solution and it's called revolution! Hopefully not like the one we see in the game though. Still, it's paramount to remember that the people never start the violence. The violence begins when capitalists steal you money by getting tax cuts from the government, getting subsidies from the government and, most of all, steal the profit you make by working. Meanwhile the police and the army keep everybody suppressed. Worker violence would merely be in self-defense, as is this game. It's a fun little videogame. Not very long but worth the low price. Great sprite graphics and colours. The music is energizing while the gameplay is tense. Best of all, its got great co-op! This couldn't be missing from a game with such social commentary. It's no as much fun to smash capitalism by yourself. I bought it because I really like videogames but also to support further development of these types of games. Games that dare to break with our oppressive structures and show us that a better world is possible. One where capitalism gets torn down just like racism, sexism, fascism, antisemitism etc.
