  • Summary: Stalin vs. Martians, as the name suggests, is a game both absolutely ridiculous and over-the-top. Fun and accessible, it takes a simple arcade-like approach to the genre of real-time strategy. The player controls the Red Army as it defends Earth from the Martian Invasion of 1942, the highly classified military operation which even today remains a closely guarded state secret. Stalin himself conducts the mission briefings, and later even becomes a playable unit. The bold leader is duly serious even as he faces the most ridiculous threat the world has ever known. The game itself is far from standard RTS fare; this is not a realistic and deeply strategic war simulation, but a straightforward, fun and light-hearted arcade-style game complete with power-ups falling from conquered foes in the form of bright shiny coins.

    Clearly, Stalin vs. Martians is a game to skip, even at the under $20 price point that it's starting with.

    The issue lies not in the occasional bugs or the concept, but rather in the excruciatingly dull gameplay. I guess some people found the official trailer (with dancing Stalin and cartoony invaders) amusing, but if you can giggle at the same joke for six hours straight, then, by all means, visit a specialist ASAP. Peculiar characters, snappy dialogue, sharp twists, and artful tactics – you won't find any of this here.

    Game excels in bizarre ideas and crazy humor. Everything else is total crap – unusable controls, prehistoric graphics and overall shortness to name few.

    Simply outstanding. A masterpiece of strategic gaming. It blends the silly funniness of Serious Sam with the challenging game play of Red Alert 2, combined with graphics that makes Crysis look bad. All these bad reviews are probably becuase the game is hard, well I agree. The game is seriously challenging. It will test your mind its limit, while still being fun as hell. Its hard to put in words what an amazing game this is. Simply genius. Buy this game now.… Expand

    the idea is kinda hilarious, and so are the graphics. the music is fun too. And that's about it. there are no tactics involved whatsoever, there is no storyline either. If it were an browsergame for 10 year old kids, okay. But this is not worth the 20 dollar, even 1 dollar is too much.… Expand

    While i love the concept of this game, and really want to like it, it's really not a well polished game. The interface is poor and the gameplay is downright shoddy. It's a sad thing that such an entertaining concept paired with such a horrible game.… Expand
