SOVIETBORGS by Retro Sumus (Xenocider devs)

[hombreimaginario]

Sovietborgs demo playthrough by Retro Gamer Boy:


Sovietborgs mentioned in this "30 New Sega Genesis & Mega Drive Games in 2025". It won't be out in 2025 though, I'm afraid Shadow Gangs Zero (for the MD, Neo Geo and Dreamcast, too) included as well:


"Sovietborgs Is A New Top Down Run 'N' Gunner For Mega Drive / Genesis, Dreamcast, & Neo Geo from the developers of Xenocider":

Another reason to use the DC Twin Stick! Yes please!

You guys really don't ever click the links, do you

No I know you confirmed the Twin Stick compatibility a long time ago. My comment was more a general statement in regards to the Twin Stick.

So, wouldn't it be cool if Sovietborgs featured shmup-like bonus stages?


Kill all Chernobugs!

Also let's take a look at the walking and attacking animations from the first stage boss:

Now, may I have your attention, please.



Sovietborgs is coming to Kickstarter Q1 2025.

Besides the regular editions (including blue PAL), we're considering a super limited, KS exclusive one with different artwork, packed with a super limited, KS exclusive PAL reprint of Xenocider (with different artwork too).

Nothing is decided yet but... you know, maybe

nothing for US or Japan eh?

EDIT:

It seems my previous reply sounded a bit harsh or could be misunderstood or read in a tone that in no way was my intention, so first of all, my apologies.

Our plan is releasing Sovietborgs in american/japanese and european variants/editions as we did Xenocider. While I had assumed that was clear, it may not have been the case.

The above mockup is just an option we're considering: besides the regular (american/japanese/eur) editions, a special one with different artwork and/or metallic colours (or whatever we come up with), to kind of celebrate our love for old blue DC cases...

nothing for US or Japan eh?

...which doesn't mean there can't (also) be a similar option / pledge for US/JP buyers. Nothing is decided yet.



Best regards (and we hope you all have a Happy New Year!)

You could just do A US/JPN version with reversible cover & booklet and next to that a PAL one, it's easier that way for the factory imho
