The game itself is a simplistic take on an RTS, with power-ups and other mechanics not typically seen in the genre.

As the (very Russian) developers explain: "The martians leave spots on the map, plagued by the extraterrestial slimelike substance. That goo improves the enemy units' stats the way power-ups improve ours. We need to clean the land out of this shit."

"Our game is unique," continues the website description. "Trashy and absolutely over-the-top, arthouse kitsch production in its finest. With a good technical basis and some healthy gameplay innovations. Stalin is anything but boring and it looks pretty like schoolgirl with a kitten. Can you ask for more?"

Stalin vs. Martians will be available on digital services in April.
