/games/ - Games

I had a quick look at an Anarcute gameplay video, so maybe there's some menu I missed or some context with the creators, but it's ideologically empty.
Sure, there's an unspoken theme of collective strength and overt anti-police gameplay, but there's no story or reason given, even symbolically, within the game. It's just - walk towards a lemming who's asleep and they start rioting, break random infrastructure like bus-stops, lamp posts and trees, and random cars on the road, and then beat up any cops which try and stop you. The cops have a couple of dystopian symbols like masks and that's all. The closest I could find to meaning is a plant symbol representing your riot, maybe hinting at environmentalism? But this is token.

There's a real opportunity to put in themes which would turn this from masturbation into propaganda. Alas, I didn't see any. My guess is there were never meant to be, it's merely an apolitical riot game. Pikmin has more anti-capitalist propaganda than this remake.

Eh I mean they don't try to make the case for anarchism I guess but you clearly are playing as anarchists and beating up cops, then in the later game it gets into how the revolution is commodified by the billionaire evil guy who basically set up the whole thing (seemingly).

Delightful visual novel, but how the fuck did it get on the list?

I still haven't played it but apparently there's some Marxist group in it or something (back when I made this there was way less left wing indie games compared to now)

Where is workers and resources?

Image was made in like 2015 or so

Think I should try make a new version?

>>37345
Well no I guess it was 2017 since KitK 2017 is on there

Gee Billy, how come your war game lets you slay two imperialist armies?
serves them right for falling for the most obvious booby traps

>that radio guy banter
Serious Handsome Jack vibe. Published by 2K only a few months before Borderlands 2, no less.
