Set in a post Cold War universe where the USSR won and turned the world into a nuclear wasteland, Sovietborgs is a new top-down run and gun in development for Sega Genesis / Mega Drive, Dreamcast, Neo Geo, and MS-DOS!

The story so far...

On November 9th, 1989, the KGB’s glorious electronic brain, Tovarisch-Prime, became self-aware, and immediately managed to take control of Arpanet, triggering the detonation of all capitalist thermo-nuclear devices inside their own silos.

The red flag rises all around the globe, but there are still territories, populated with capitalistic mutants, that insist on rejecting liberation.



Part man, part machine, all proletariat, the Sovietborgs are the new elite unit of the Red Army, determined to eliminate all remaining pockets of resistance and free-thinking that dare threatening our Workers' Paradise. Inmune to radiation, they can go where no one else can and liberate them of their pitiful existence. For the glory of a world without crime, that is!

How?

Players take control of a squad of 3 Sovietborgs, with the goal being to explore this devastated world that's left and wipe out the monsters and rebel factions that patrol the land. The main action is displayed from a top-down perspective, inspired by titles like The Chaos Engine, Jurassic Park, or Gauntlet.

The game features pre-rendered graphics that were developed using similar techniques to classics like Donkey Kong Country and Vectorman, while its music takes inspiration from the Red Alert and the Jungle / Urban / Soviet Strike series.



Sovietborgs also includes shmup-like bonus stages and hectic battles against huge, mutant bosses!

You can play the Genesis / Mega Drive demo online or download it for use with your preferred emulator.

Resistence is futile. The Sovietborgs are here to free you from your freedom.

Only Tovarisch-Prime is eternal! Let’s pacify the West!

Who?

Retro Sumus is a small development team located in Spain and Estonia. We are professionals in different fields who got together to revisit genres and concepts we felt were underused, or not explored in depth back in their time. Because, really, why not?

Our previous game, Xenocider for Dreamcast, launched in January 2021. Conceived as a love letter for classics like Space Harrier and Sin & Punishment, it was an ambitious project that brought the first new 3D game to the console in over 15 years. Our team members have also been involved in other indie projects like Pier Solar, Ghost Blade, and the Dreamcast releases of Flashback and Fade to Black.

Retro only? Physical only? Are all versions native?

Yes, yes, and yes. Modern platforms would take extra effort and means which, we think, would be better invested on offering buyers a better physical product they enjoy having in their hands, instead of trying to make ourselves heard in a market as huge and diverse as Steam.

All versions are native to their platforms. Some parts we’d rather remake instead of adapting them so we can take advantage of the specific hardware. For instance, renders won’t have to get their colours reduced for the Dreamcast, the music will be full CD quality, etc.

Short novel / pocketbook

As part of the exclusive rewards for this campaign, we are sharing the first chapter of the Sovietborgs short novel written by Alan Dick Jr. and presented in the unmistakable style of the classic Spanish "bolsilibro" (lit. pocket book). This literary adaptation, inspired by the game’s lore, brings the action and atmosphere of Sovietborgs to the page, with all the drama and epic scope of classic science fiction. Here, readers will find an introduction to a world largely devastated by nuclear war, where the cybernetic heroes of the USSR fight for survival against hordes of capitalist zombies and mutants.

The pocketbook can be acquired as an "add on" item with any perk of your choice.
