Stalin vs. Martians, as the name suggests, is a game both masterfully trashy and absolutely over-the-top. Fun and accessible, it takes a simple arcade-like approach to the genre of real-time strategy.
The player controls the Red Army, as it defends Earth from the Martian Invasion of 1942, that highly classified military operation which even today remains a closely guarded state secret. Stalin himself conducts the mission briefings, and later even becomes a playable unit. The bold leader is duly serious, even as he faces the most ridiculous threat the world has ever known.
The game itself is far from standard RTS fare: this is no realistic and deeply strategic war simulation, but a straightforward, fun and light-hearted arcade-style game – complete with power-ups falling from conquered foes in the form of bright shiny coins.
