Product received for free based on real facts, Russian subway dogs takes with humour the invasion of Russian Metro stations. Edited and developed by spooky squid games, this small independent game puts you in the shoes of a dog, a cat and other animals, in search of food to survive. Released on August 1st, you are presented in an express test that has dog.
At the discovery of Russian subway dogs rare are the games that take with humor some sad things. This is what has succeeded in making spooky squid games with its Russian subway dogs game, which transports you into the skin of an animal wandering on the Russian subway. It should be known that in Russia, more than 35 000 chienserrants have understood the workings of Metro stations to wander but especially survive. In Russian subway dogs, you will have to do the same by controlling a dog, but not that, because the game offers various animals, like a cat, a racoon, and others that we will not reveal so as not to spoil the surprise. A total of ten animals are playable.
The game is simple, it will have to bark or Meow on the users of the Metro to feed themselves and not to fall dead hungry, it's sad view like that. Each level is a station of the subway lines. You start with line 1 which has 7 stations, to unlock the following stations, we will have to recover bones that are won by fulfilling objectives on each of the stations.
The goals of the beginning are very simple, you will have to juggle a bottle of vodka, eat 5 sandwiches cooked and make a combo air 5 times. Goals that come true in a fairly simple way explained via a tutorial image at each station.
To juggle a bottle of vodka, it will be enough to bark on it, to cook the food you have to drop the vodka on the food, and the air combo "is basic, it will just be successful to catch the food dropped by passers-by before it falls on the ground. But as you go along, other far more complex goals will be invited, such as making a veggie bonus combo, eating fruit and vegetables without falling on the ground, or eating deer meat, which can cook if a bottle of vodka falls on them. For Yes, in Russian subway dogs there are enemies, dogs, dobermans and poodles, who will try to eat your food, but also pigeons, deer and bears, who will try to kill you or/and steal your food.
The game features a very cute 2D pixelised style, especially the animals, and a very Soviet graphic and sound atmosphere, and we love it because you get very fast in the mood. But even if the decorations change regularly just like the music, we get bored very quickly because we often repeat the same actions, whatever the game offers each time something new. The lifetime is still correct and offers a few hours of play to succeed in seeing the end, and even more if you want to unlock all the trophies. You also have a second game mode, which offers you to choose the internship you desire and make the best possible score without objective as in the "campaign" mode.
In conclusion, Russian subway dogs offers a small game that would fit very well on mobile, more than on PC. The graphic and sound atmosphere makes us travel. We have fun for a while, but we quickly drop the case because too much repetition in the gameplay. But the atmosphere and the cute animals are right to us, and we stay because we do not want them to starve.
Editor's Note: 6/10-a very cute game, but that repeats itself too.
