a retro 2D beat 'em up that mixes turn-based combat with a darkly comedic plot about a famous vlogger losing subscribers and fighting crime

What players say

Players enjoy the retro-style beat 'em up action and humor centered around a Russian blogger. The game offers a variety of weapons and upgrades, but bosses are notably tougher. Some find the controls a bit sluggish, and opinions split on the content: a minority condemns it as offensive.
