Venceremos

Venceremos

Take on the role of a Cuban Revolutionary in Venceremos, a shoot ‘em up platformer where you fight to overthrow the oppressive Cuban dictatorship! 

The Cuban Revolution was one of many conflicts that arose during the Cold War. Revolutionaries of the 26th of July Movement, led by Fidel Castro, launched a revolt against the dictatorship of Fulgencio Batista. Venceremos focuses on a small part of the revolution: the Battle of La Plata. 

Venceremos is a Spanish word meaning “we will overcome”. The word was used as a political slogan during the Cuban Revolution.
