''Mother Russia Bleeds'' is a side-scrolling BeatEmUp developed by Le Cartel released in 2016 and published by Devolver Digital. It's a deliberate throwback to old games of said genre such as ''Videogame/StreetsOfRage'' or ''Videogame/FinalFight'', in which you must beat up waves of junkies, gangsters and other dangers with your fists and any weapon you can get your grubby mitts on.
Taking place an alternate universe version of Soviet Russia, the game stars four Gypsy pit-fighters: Sergei, Boris, Ivan and Natasha as their encampment is besieged by the Bratva while they are taken to become guinea pigs for the new street drug Nekro. Waking up, they find that they are now addicted to said drug and must fight their way across the Motherland in hope of seeking out an answer to what happened and vengeance to who did this to them, all the while trying to keep the drug from completely consuming them.
The game's unique mechanic is based on Nekro, which the players can use to either heal themselves or to enter a berserk state. In order to refill their supply, they must drain them from other addicts, who after defeat will convulse on the ground before they die.
----
!!The game features examples of:
* AlternateUniverse: The game takes place in a very different version of Soviet Russia circa 1986, in which the Bratva have almost complete control of the government.
* AntiHero: The protagonists are violent addicts who are simply beating anyone in their way to death in their path of vengeance, but end up becoming heroes of LaResistance.
* BattleInTheCenterOfTheMind: [[spoiler:The final battle has the protagonists battling the manifestation of their addiction in a hallucination.]]
* BigGood: Vlad, a militant communist leading the resistance that the heroes occasionally end up helping out.
* BodyHorror: Nekro does horrible things to the bodies of it's users, making the most extreme cases more like zombies than anything.
* BoomHeadshot: Killing with a handgun or the AK will always destroy the head of enemies.
* DisposableVagrant: The reason why the protagonists end up becoming test subjects for Nekro. Hobos in general are useful test subjects for the Bratva.
* EarnYourHappyEnding: To get the good ending, you have to [[spoiler:defeat the manifestation of Nekro itself
* {{Expy}}: Nekro is inspired by Krokodil, a real-life street drug known for being highly addictive while also seriously ravaging one's body.
* GunsAreUseless: Averted, as guns are easily the most powerful weapons of the game, capable of killing enemies in one or two shots. As such, you only get your hands on them in very specific sequences.
* JackOfAllStats: Sergei and Boris have largely balanced stats, though Sergei is more agile while Boris is tougher.
* LudicrousGibs: The common result of smashing a downed opponent's head.
* TheMafiya: The primary foes of the game, referred to as the Bratva.
* MultipleEndings: There are two endings, which is determined by whether or not you [[spoiler:defeat the final boss without using Necro]].
** Bad Ending: [[spoiler:The heroes kill the Premier, but ultimately succumb to the drug and die]].
** Good Ending: [[spoiler:The heroes kill the Premier and manage to overcome the drug. When they get out of the hospital, they get a statue built of them and learn that not only have the surviving people responsible been arrested, but that Nekro has been taken out of the streets.]]
