Red Comrades Save the Galaxy

A video game developed by the Russian studio S.K.I.F. and published by Buka in November 1998 for Windows, this humorous graphic adventure game initiated a popular series. The plot unfolds in an alternate reality where, after a shot from the cruiser "Aurora," aliens hibernating on the Moon awaken and begin preparing to invade Earth, starting with the village of Gadyukino. The main characters, Vasily Ivanovich Chapaev and his loyal aide Petka, are tasked with retrieving the stolen red banner and preventing the alien invasion. Gameplay is based on a point-and-click system using various cursors for actions such as "go," "look," "talk," "take," and "use," along with an inventory represented by a suitcase. The game comprises three acts: the village of Gadyukino, the city, and the Moon, each offering unique tasks and characters, including Anka the machine gunner and Furmanov. In 2016, a re-release titled "Red Comrades Save the Galaxy: Reloaded" was launched, adapted for modern systems and widescreen monitors, featuring enhanced graphics and English subtitles.
