This week sees the launch of smaller games from indie developers, but some that are nonetheless as interesting as their big-budget counterparts.
Mother Russia Bleeds
5 September 2016 (PC)
For fans of old-school beat-’em-ups like Streets of Rage and Final Fight will have to put Mother Russia Bleeds on their radar this week.
This nostalgia-inspired action game is set in, as the name suggests, Russia, and throws you and a buddy into a violent, co-op brawler that sees you take on drug-riddled baddies and high-end criminals.
Players will also be able to pick up weapons, use the environment, and throw enemies into deadly traps and objects.
The Tomorrow Children – Founder’s Pack
6 September 2016 (PS4)
The Tomorrow Children is a unique combination of action, simulation, strategy, and social gaming that delivers an experience unlike anything else.
As “projection clones,” players will be tasked to work together — And unite for the glory for all! — in an alternate future Soviet Union in order to restore civilisation to a world that has been annihilated by a failed science experiment.
Gather resources, build and customise your town, build defences, fend off gigantic “Izverg” kaiju monsters, and much more.
Starting on 6 September, The Tomorrow Children’s early access Founders Pack will be offered for a limited time until the official launch of the free-to-play game.
The Founders Pack bundles together a great selection of paid DLC items, 1000 Freeman Dollars (in-game currency), and exclusive bonus content, giving players a big running start as they dive into the world of the Void.

Ah the Soviet Union, just a fun place with those zany Bolsheviks/Communists who did not murder tens of millions of people and enslave millions more…. (for the historically illiterate, which is probably many South Africans, YES they did).
Imagine if it was Nazi Germany instead of Soviet Union… imagine the uproar then…. but Soviet Union which oppressed and murdered people, it’s OK to use them in a game…. they’re cool. Whoever came up with this sort of plot is a total w-nker.
