There has at be at least one
Outside
GMs are a bitch and a half though
Skill issue
I tried outside once but the sun burnt me so I got scared and went home
Well of course, you’re an Owl. Try night time.
Tonight We Riot
It’s a very short arcade game, but the devs are comrades and should be supported.
I played it a tiny bit but my little rioter buddies got killed and it made me sad
Need to git gud at organizing so you can keep your comrades safe
Better to die for a better future than live for the profits of the rich, if you are given just those two choices (of course living for a better future is always preferred where possible, which it usually is).
Wolfenstein is the classic nazi killing game but you play as an Amerikkkan
also BJ’s kind of a lib 😔😔
At least he grasps the essential truth of violence against Nazis so better than most lib gaming protagonists
he still lectures american commies for not “enlisting in the us military and fighting with them” during ww2 and instead choosing to oppose them
Yeah but the Communist priest guy takes him to task in 2 which is fun.
Partisans 1941. It’s a stealth real time tactical game that takes place behind German lines in the USSR during Operation Barbarossa. You play as the Soviets, obviously.
There’s resource management and RPG elements, story is so far so good. I stopped playing because there’s a new path of exile season lol.
Its so good. My game is fucked tho, my screen flickers and has the worst graphical glitches i’ve ever seen if I open the menu during a mission. I am glad I beat the game before this started
Are we including Tabletop games? Because The Hammer and The Stake is an rpg about fighting literal capitalist vampires in 1920s Hungary
Thank you for this, it’s going straight into my to-run list
Hearts of Iron 4
If you’re going for pure volume, this is the one
I love when I’m able to turn the tide of the war by just being commie czechoslovakia and sitting in my fortress killing millions of germans and allowing the soviets to take berlin in 41 easy.
Red Alert
Red Faction Guerilla, though I guess you’re mostly killing Neolibs being imperialist.
Wolfenstein of course. I actually like the 2000s reboot where you killed occult Nazis.
The Saboteur as others have said is great. Irish bombmaker killing Nazis. It’s impossible to describe how fun that game is. You run around with a beautiful British spy in fast 1940s cars and your hideout is literally the Moulin Rouge. As you “liberate” districts they turn coloured. It ain’t accurate but you can justify it as turning parts of Paris into “no-go” zones for the Nazis.
Ambition: A minuet in power, is a semi visual novel that lets you play as a young woman adrift in Paris intrigue in the 1790s, and lets you take down the king and hook up with Saint-Just as a romance option.
Just cause lets you take down the fash, though it’s mostly cold war fash.
There’s an old Hex game I recall that takes place in the Russian Civil War, in case you want to kill black hundreds instead of standard Nazis.
Victoria 3 lets you do communist revolutions, and if you’re doing world conquering, you’ll undoubtedly fight a bunch of literal fascist countries.
Though I mean, the Paradox game doing the most literal playing as Soviets and killing Nazis would be Hearts of Iron.
You need to give The Saboteur a play. One of the forgotten games that personally I thought was great but sold like crap.
I loved my pirated copy of this when it came out
Cod 2 soviet campaign
Not cod 1 or cod 5
Men of War
Red Faction Guerilla
Call of Duty: World at War
Though, unfortunately it’s only half the game
The other half is fighting the Japanese in the Pacific theater
I honestly can’t think of anything else off the top of my head
Reznov is the absolute coolest character they ever had in that series.
You’ll unfortunately have to put up with unending amerikkkan exceptionalism and the weird bits of nazi humanization and the soviets being painted as brutal savages for some reason.

Rising storm 2 vietnam you play as either the NLF or PAVN and set up punjee sticks for unsuspecting yanks.
I still remember the time I was playing with the NLF, I grabbed the grenade launcher of a dead yankee and shoot it to an helicopter that was taking off.
Such a cool game. The community… not so much.
Specifically the second and fourth games in the series: Red Orchestra 2 and Rising Storm 2
Hammer & Sickle is a relatively obscure Russian turn-based tactics game, sort of a quasi-sequel to Silent Storm, which is somewhat better known.
It’s 1949, you’re a Soviet agent infiltrating into the Allied Occupation Zone and stumbling onto a neo-fascist plot to do a bunch of false-flag attacks and start WW3. It’s pretty cool, but kind of janky and obtuse, and needs a bunch of mods to even run on a modern operating system.
There’s an Easter egg in the Silent Storm games: the trashcans look like they have American flags in them.
