Independent developer Le Cartel and the violent revolutionaries of Devolver Digital have launched the sidscrolling beat ‘em up Mother Russia Bleeds on PC, Mac, and Linux today [motherrussiableeds.com]. Those Mother Russia Bleeds fans that find themselves at PAX West can celebrate the launch at the Devolver Digital booth [2343] and get exclusive prizes and possibly a solid punch to the gut.

Mother Russia Bleeds is an ultra-violent co-op brawler overflowing with an unmistakable style and unforgettably brutal action for up to four players at once. Set in an alternate U.S.S.R, the story centers on a desperate crew of imprisoned street fighters that must overcome an oppressive criminal authority and forced drug addictions through any means necessary. Battle solo or alongside friends in an exceptional story mode campaign or harden your resolve in the savage Survival Mode.

“It’s true that Mother Russia Bleeds is so violent it makes you nauseous, but on the plus side the game lets you beat down drug-dealing baddies with so much stuff – your fists, telephone poles, other people’s heads, toilets, toilet paper, fire extinguishers, motorcycles, chainsaws, and an accordion. That’s art right there, nerds,” noted Devolver Digital CFO Fork Parker.

Mother Russia Bleeds is available now on Steam, GOG, and Humble with an arrival on PlayStation 4 expected later this year. Street brawlers can get theif fix via Twitter @RussiaBleeds and @DevolverDigital or by visiting motherrussiableeds.com on the world wide web.
