Nidhogg, Fidel, Question Hound and more will all be vying for some of your time later this year when Russian Subway Dogs hits a console near you.
Confirmed to be barking its way to Xbox One, PS4, PS Vita and PC later this year – with the chance for you to make some news friends in the process – Russian Subway Dogs is a systemic arcade title that has been inspired by the real life strays found in the Moscow Metro.
With the dogs having actually learned to how to navigate the subways and commute from the quiet safe suburban stations to the downtown where they can scavenge for food, the Moscow Metro happens to also be an amazing setting featuring some of the most beautiful stations in the world – and in Russian Subway Dogs all that has been meticulously recreated in detailed pixel art.
You will find yourself playing as one of these stray dogs, and given the task of scaring commuters in order to steal their food, competing with other wildlife, and cooking the occasional meal with highly explosive Russian vodka. You can play as more than just a stray subway mutt though and with the team at Spooky Squad Games having teamed up with other indie creators, there will be many other dogs, cats and other critters brought to the game!
But the main lineup of canine and kitty criminals include:
- Meme hero, Question Hound (aka “the This is Fine Dog”) from the comic Gunshow.
- Revolutionary canines Nacho and Rad Shiba from the PS Vita game VA-11 HALL-A
- Hybrid trash vermin, the Ratcoon, from action roguelike Ruin of the Reckless.
- Tdemonic Clawed Kitty, inspired by the previous game, They Bleed Pixels.
- The Proletaricat, your boss and head feline of the pack.
Further to these the following will also be thrown in:
- Uay Chivo – Half goat, half man, all teacher: Uay Chivo from the game Guacamelee! will be playable in all his goaty glory!
- Doppler and Kepler – Doppler and Kepler, friends to the friendless and your faithful animal companions when playing single player Lovers in a Dangerous Spacetime, come down to earth to scavenge for food.
- Fidel – Fidel, dungeon delving doggo from the turn-based dungeon puzzler Fidel Dungeon Rescue, will be exploring our suspicious subway tunnels.
- Nidhogg – Not a fan of cute fuzzy mammals? looking to play as something with less of a backbone? Nidhogg from multiplayer masterpiece Nidhogg 2 will be playable!
