Critic Reviews for Mother Russia Bleeds
This edgy revival of the scrolling brawler inherits the problems of its influences, and is both boorish and boring as a result.
This savage brawler has its moments, but swiftly moves from brutal to boring.
Playing by yourself is a fun time, but Mother Russia Bleeds shines as a co-op experience
Mother Russia Bleeds brings an older genre back into the limelight, with clever boss fights, intricate stage design, and complicated storytelling themes.
Mother Russia Bleeds succeeds in being a self-aware play on the edginess in video games.
Mother Russia Bleeds is a proficiently-made side-scrolling beat 'em up that ultimately fails to drag this already limited genre forwards with any great new ideas of its own. Add in a wearyingly mature aesthetic and you're left with an oddly downbeat button-mashing action game; fans of the genre should wait for the forthcoming Streets of Rage 4 or download Capcom's superb Beat 'Em Up Bundle.
A debauchery-fueled beat 'em up with plenty of ways to cripple your enemies, its excessive violence never overshadows the smart and intuitive combat.
Mother Russia Bleeds is like melting Takashi Miike cinema with tumblr and Hotline Miami. A nice beat'em up with a bloody aesthetic and a nice gameplay.
