Does anyone know any good games where you kill fascist CIA and US army scum? Ideally as a Marxist-Leninist freedom fighter or as a soldier of a socialist country. Otherwise, games where you fight US puppets like Israel as say a Palestinian freedom fighter are also more than welcome.
i recently watched a let's play of red alert 1 (been a minute since i played it) and boy howdy, the allied mission videos have very strong nazi vibes in places.
westwood made stalin comically evil (all that's missing is the big spoon) but they also made the allies pretty nazi. i dont think they did it consciously though, it's just their westoid brain scrambling things.
Funniest thing is that it's kinda dialectical, Red Alert series start with assassination of Hitler when he comes out of prison in 1924, which wouldn't stop nazism, but shuffle its leadership maybe with someone less revanchist but still nazi. So the course in which the nazi Germany allies and finally unites with USA, UK and France against USSR is very probable especially it's exactly what west tried to do in our timeline.
It's a text based game from early 2000s, but liberal crime squad is one of my favs and made by bay12games (dwarf fortress). It's operating on several layers of irony but you get to take on cops, soldiers, middle managers, CEOs and kidnap justices and even visit the president. On the highest difficulty you start is a nearly fully fascist America and need to prevent conservative laws being passed via adventurism. Naturally you win when the people the conservatism away
Welcome to Liberal Crime Squad! The Conservatives have taken the Executive, Legislative, and Judicial branches of government. Over time, the Liberal laws of this nation will erode and turn the country into a BACKWOODS YET CORPORATE NIGHTMARE. To prevent this from happening, the Liberal Crime Squad was established. The mood of the country is shifting, and we need to turn things around. Go out on the streets and indoctrinate Conservative automatons. That is, let them see their True Liberal Nature. Then arm them and send them forth to Stop Evil. Eventually the public will fall behind us, and we will put more Elite Liberals in government for greater justice.
Payday 2. Do all of the heists that don't have a "break stealth and instafail" stipulation as loud as possible, with either Razormind or I Will Give You My All 2017 as the heist BGM, and mulch as many pigs as you can. Yeah, they're cops rather than full-on military; but they DO pull up with enough special units to make one question if the police and the military in PD2 are just fused together.
Spec ops: The Line, though you do also kill civilians sadly, but you kill a bunch of Operators (TM).
Sniper Elite 4 has a skin where you can be an italian partisan woman. Then it's just slo-mo shots of nazi skulls being crushed.
Empire: Total War has the american revolution, which you can handliy crush.
Battlefield 1942 has a nazi campaign, though uhhh, you'd be playing as the nazis so.
Prototype was a sort of spider-man like game, but you could just go murder the army.
The new Wolfenstein games take place in the US.
Modern Warfare 2 has you killing loads of americans.
Red Orchestra 2 is about killing americans I believe.
If you're into strategy games then Command and Conquer.
Red Orchestra 2 is about killing americans I believe.
Red Orchestra 2 is about the Great Patriotic War, where you can play as the Red Army against the Wehrmacht. You are probably thinking about Rising Storm 2, from the same publisher, where you can play as North Vietnam against the US invaders.
I know, I also recommended a game that lets them fight as the nazis - I was just trying to answer their question on games that allowed you to fight americans.
Empire: Total war is rigged weirdly though, so any revolution in the americas will be the USA.
Played as the Iroquis and got it once.
Spec Ops: The Line is probably the first example that comes to mind.
They get a bad rap because of the sometimes fascist leaning fanbase, but paradox grand strategy games do let you play whatever side you want. Everytime I tried Hearts of Iron (admittedly my least favourite paradox game), I played as the USSR.
Some of the Metal Gear games, though that's still "the good americans vs the corrupt government" which isn't really ideal either.
Yakuza 3 features CIA as one of the villain factions.
Wolfenstein: The New Colossus and Fursan al-Aqsa. There's also Soldier of Fortune: Platinum Edition, while you do play as a PMC chud, you do get to fill up the morgues of NYC with neo-Nazis in two chapters with two Boers as the main villains. Also from the word go, you do at least get to remove a Nazi's face with a SPAS-12 at point-blank.
And sometimes even Minecraft when some kid builds a definetely not a swastika next to the Ukrainian flag in their base, so you spawncamp them and steal all their diamonds.
Has a really good mood (RevDCM) that makes the game more dynamic by introducing civil wars, revolutions and the ability of new civilizations to organize out of "barbarians."
Similar mods for other civs always feel less full featured.
Mechanically, I also came to dislike some stuff in later civ games, or at least some stuff "lost it's shine". Like 1 unit per tile.
If you only want to play vanilla or some light workshop mods i prefer Civ 6, communism is OP there and there are some decent USSR mods on steam
if you're into total conversions, nothing can beat Civ 4, some of the mods are incredible, my favourite is the Dune mod which is actually the best Dune game ever made.
Also nostalgia, Civ 4 is the last one with squares and not hexes and the classic looks of map and interface.
It doesn't really focus on killing enemies, but you can build communism somewhere in the world and squash the imperial ambitions of the US while also pushing the empires into decline.
Play as Britain, stop the US from expanding West while slowly guiding the UK towards a proletarian revolution.
But didn't the game at one point was like "rAiDEn baD because these cops have a family" or am I misremembering? I haven't played this game in at least 6 years.
It does. Its accompanied by the worst segment of gameplay as he has something resembling a panic attack. At least at the end he decides violence is in fact necessary.
rising storm 2 lets you play in multiplayer matches as the people's army of vietnam/national liberation front fighting against american imperialist invaders. you can use traps on them, blow their helicopters out of the sky, etc.
I used to do that; but it gets REALLY old shuffling server-after-server-after-server-after-server to find one server where T-side isn't full up; then you get into the match to hear some hard-r'ing kyle hotmic for 20 minutes.
Rising storm Vietnam might be what you're referring to.
The only shooter I really played as an adult anyway. The chat there is noxious to a whole different level.
Once there was a guy in their bragging he was more of a fan of the iron brigade, so Nazi the Nazis didn't like him.
Cold Waters, if you're into submarine game. The base game itself is centered around commanding US nuclear submarine, and thus feature only US campaigns. However, several mods exist that let players use Soviet submarine and take part in a Soviet campaign against US, so you could have fun blasting entire US carrier battlegroup with a 949 "Granit" SSGN.
If you're into milsim games, there is Project Reality (completely free) that lets you fight as Palestinians against Israel for instance. There are a lot of other maps and scenarios based on actual or probable conflicts as well where you can play as insurgents or China or Russian Federation for example.
