The Red Comrades game series goes supported

Post by sev »

In 2019, Andrei Prykhodko (whiterandrek), a GSoC student, was working on support for the Red Comrades game series (Russian: Петька и Василий Иванович).

Red Comrades is a 2D adventure game played from a third-person perspective.
The game's protagonists are from Dmitri Furmanov's 1923 novel Chapaev: historical Russian military figure Vasiliy Chapayev, his aide Petka, and the machine gunner, Anka.

After a long time in development, the ScummVM team is happy to announce support for the first two games in the series: Red Comrades 1: Save the Galaxy (Russian: Петька и Василий Иванович спасают галактику) and Red Comrades 2: For the Great Justice (Russian: Петька и Василий Иванович 2: Судный день).

So break out your copies of the games and give them a try! Unfortunately, only the original Russian Windows versions are supported. The English versions for iOS and Android use a completely different engine.

If you don’t own a copy, you can get the demo from our demos section. You will need a daily development build. As always, please submit the bug reports to our issue tracker.

I assume the Windows/Mac/Linux version sold on Steam are the same as the iOS/Android version, since the description for at least the first part says the game has been "completely rewritten for Unity engine". (I.e. they're not supported by ScummVM.)
