Now, may I have your attention, please.



Sovietborgs is coming to Kickstarter Q1 2025.

Besides the regular editions (including blue PAL), we're considering a super limited, KS exclusive one with different artwork, packed with a super limited, KS exclusive PAL reprint of Xenocider (with different artwork too).

Nothing is decided yet but... you know, maybe

What's Sovietborgs all about? Wait, what was Xenocider about again? And what's our whole little team about, by the way?

Thanks to Debug Magazine for giving us the opportunity to spread our regime's propaganda!

See you soon on Kickstarter, tovarisch.

Our brave komrades, the Sovietborgs, successfully complete their mission and proceed to the next destination: a place once called Spain, before the nuclear w... that is, before liberation!

- Oh dear, that komrade doesn't look too healthy.
- Consequences of free thinking, no doubt!
