They remove this essence and can then use it to either boost their health or in a rage which temporarily ups their speed and attack power. Instead, the gang can extract nekro from their fallen enemies, should their bodies start convulsing. Mother Russia Bleeds doesn’t have the conventional health kits to collect. They escape from the test labs killing scientists, the military and the mob – to name a few. The characters become dependent on this and consequently have an amplified rage – going on a rampage, killing everything in their path. The government suddenly kidnaps our ‘heroes’ and conducts experiments on them without their consent with a new drug called nekro. They’re all part of a Romani group, often fighting for money. There are four players to choose from in the game, and they all resemble the typical archetype the all-round leader Sergei, the tank Ivan, the token woman who is super quick, Natasha and Boris – the resident nutter. In true form, it’s a bit of a button masher with a few simple moves, but enough to keep you satisfied.

Much like a Streets of Rage or Final Fight side scroller, this is one of those games I used to play growing up. I recall seeing a trailer, as most of my reviews start, and thinking that Mother Russia Bleeds is a game that should go on the list. ![]()
