Show Full Description

In a dystopia where wealthy capitalists control elections, media, and the lives of working people, we’re faced with two choices -- accept it or fight for something better. Tonight We Riot doesn’t have just one hero. Instead, you play as a movement of people whose well-being determines the success of your revolution. FEATURES: - Couch co-op - 20 unlockable weapons, gear, and perks - A dog - Whimsy - Kaiju - A wood chipper - Endless Mode - Horror Synth - The unique catharsis that comes from throat-punching a billionaire ghoul who would rather watch the world and everyone on it burn than lose a tax break

8 / 10

For all its Communist coloring, Tonight We Riot is a very stylish, fun and well-presented project. Stylized 8-bit graphics along with hand-drawn violence and powerful music give you a few hours of great immersion.

Unscored

This tension between Tonight We Riot’s political ambitions and the limited depth of its systems is a large part of why it feels paradoxically tame. It has taken the mechanics and structure of a traditional beat’em’up and attempted to map them to anti-capitalist revolution, but it hasn’t thoroughly interrogated how those existing mechanics are also a product of capitalism.
