Ok, this game is.. abysmal. Well, there's a reason why there are no reviews at all in other languages but Russian I think.. So, since there are no discussion, guides and such, let's try to summarize a little bit everything.. I went online to upload some screenshots and such but really, what you see in the game hub page is literally the only thing you'll see in the whole game. The game itself starts in windowed borderless mode and with some crazy resolution (like, the achievement that automatically pops up in the lower right occupies like a quarter of the screen xD. It costs 2€!!! Which is beyond crazy. The music is terrible (midi, like in the worst early '90 games) but the graphics overtake it lots of times. They consist of, generally, a plain blue background; some of the 10 available levels have like circles and something like that, nothing else. Again, what you see in the game store page. And the game, how it is? Well, you play as the title says as a Matriosca (that's Italian - Ma...

[h1] The last Matryoshka puppet [/h1] You know those Matryoshka puppets always contain a smaller one inside? This one is the smallest because it cannot go lower in gameplay. In the good old tradition of Russian dodge shovelware (like Lemurzin) you will suffer through ten pointless levels. There's no other strategy than keep on hitting spacebar (shoot) while moving up and down frequently. If you are doing good you will generate a nice sinus curve which catches each of enemies and it's bullets. Enemies are mostly spawn from right side (but also from left - poseidons) and are Russian fable figures like 3 headed dragons, pitchfork throwers or kings. Probably it's very hard to fail in this game. If you get hit a few clicks later an orange cake replenishes your hearts (working from 3 hearts on). The endless mode is also less entertaining tho you have to get over 2018 pts.
Matryoshka Strike is a very poorly made Russian ClickTeam Fusion based arcade "shoot 'em up" with deplorably bad quality. You shoot various waves of badly MS-Paint drawn enemies from Russian folklore. Amusingly, other gamers have tagged this game as "Horror", which is absolutely true. It gives me nightmares to think that people thought it was ok to launch this kind of garbage on Steam, and then try charge money for it. From a technical perspective, the game doesn't meet basic minimum requirements that most PC gamers expect as standard. The artwork here is terrible, it's a blend of old retro pixel "art" used as a substitute for contemporary PC graphics, and some of the most amateurish MS-Paint style drawings I've ever seen. It's unclear if this is due to lack of budget to arrange someone who can do graphics properly, or lack of talent, regardless, the overall visual quality of the game is extremely low as a result of these decisions. There's no options to change the resolution f...
russian shit
Love the classic characters, but not the game. Not fun, not challenging, just up and down in 1 hour and you'll complete it in no time. Can't recommend this game.
zero fun guaranteed
Not completely terrible, I actually liked some of the elements of the game. The game is an easy 100% (fyi the secret achievement is 2018 points, don't tell anyone) I wouldn't mind seeing some sort of sequel to this.
Shakalaka bom boom!
