The WhatsNext verdict
If you want an openly socialist pixel-art crowd brawler for couch co-op, Tonight We Riot delivers gleeful worker-revolt chaos through crowd command. Its short campaign and finicky combat suit ideology-first players more than precision brawler fans.
What it does best
Command the crowd, not just the hero
Couch co-op turns revolution into glorious chaos
A bold pixel-art identity for worker revolt
What might put you off
The overt socialist and anti-capitalist politics
Short campaign and clunky crowd controls
The setup
What you are walking into
Civil unrest awaits as Tonight We Riot drops players into the boots of everyday working class rebels fighting against the oppression of global capitalism run amok in a dystopian future where the few wealthy elite dominate the entire civilized world. Between its solid gameplay, catchy synth music, retro feel, and challenging gameplay, it definitely looks like this is one mob more than ready to put up a spectacular fight. The chaotic mess of action ABSOLUTELY provides some nice catharsis. Tonight We Riot is the Socialist Revolution You're Looking For
