    All the arty part is great, ambiance, music, animations, graphics... dirt, violent, and grotesque. (The nightclub stage, geez...) Wonderful work on that part.

    But, game mechanics, wich are great part of a game like that, are completely broken. It's a complete mess, you loose track of your own character too easily, your ridiculous range combine to an insane and unforgiving precision    All the arty part is great, ambiance, music, animations, graphics... dirt, violent, and grotesque.

    But, game mechanics, wich are great part of a game like that, are completely broken. It's a complete mess, you loose track of your own character too easily, your ridiculous range combine to an insane and unforgiving precision needed to hit, finish, or just heal a down teamate is totally absurd and irrelevant in such a ocean of mobs, all very dangerous, not to saying totally OP. Dev imagined it was not necessary to magnetize them a bit, wich is maybe the major issue of this game, and scaled the difficulty in the dumbest way possible : more mobs, with more hp and OS weapons. Have I mentioned the so cool ground finisher moves are undoable in practice because way too long (hp tank mobs) and anything can't interrupt them ? Have i aslo mentioned the only way to cancel a finisher in emergency is to jump ?? Why, for christ sake ?
    Absolutely no pleasure in all this, because all the gameplay is full of idiot and illogical choices. Shame, because this game was damn sexy. But let's be serious : When you claim you are a successor of Street of Rage, you should reinstall and play it before doing anything else.    … Expand

    Well, to be honest, the mechanics are not very fluid and at times even feel cluncky. However, the visuals are very well pronounced and give a unique vibe to the whole audio-visual experience.
    Yes, it´s very difficult to enjoy this one as a game, yet as an experience, it certainly is good.

    mediocre. very repetitive fighting mechanics. the only things that stands out is style.

    very fun and bloody game. at the time of the super Nintendo I always wanted the game like this with violence and 2D but none of them had much blood This one made my dream come true
    The problem with the game is the controls you edit and when you re-enter all the calls are in the game default

    Mother Russia bleeds takes you back to the good old 80s and arcade machines. It’s gory, it’s brutal, it’s fun, it’s nostalgic. Don’t miss it.

    MRB’s most notable aspect is its nice pixel art, but I don’t think that’s enough to recommend this game, especially if you’re thinking on playing it alone. [12/2016, p.42]

    Delightfully demented but lacking knockout power. For good and bad, a sidescrolling, sin-stuffed brawler. [Nov 2016, p.75]
