The world of Sovietborgs is a nuclear wasteland plagued by mutants, victims of radiation and free will.

But resistance is futile. 💥

You can run, but you can't hide from liberation. The Sovietborgs are coming. Resistence is futile.

That guy in front might need an oxygen mask and to sit down for a little bit. His breathing is definitely elevated.

Behold the radioactive centipede and the dead surfer! We're considering the dead surfer to behave like skeletons from Golden Axe: some may remain as pure decoration, some may get up and attack.
