Tonight We Riot

Tonight We Riot is a beat 'em up game released in 2020 by American[3] studio Pixel Pushers Union 512, and published by Means Interactive, both worker cooperatives, and released for Windows, MacOS, Linux and the Nintendo Switch.

[4][5] The game follows a player-controlled crowd of workers rather than a single character,[3] each member with their own weapons, to fight against Pinkertons, militias, and police as they move their way through a level.

[6] The levels end in boss fights ranging from large vehicles operated by the police to the President of the fictional country the game takes place in.

The game concludes with the workers overthrowing their government, implying that an anarcho-syndicalist system is formed in its place.

[15] Conservative magazine National Review praised Tonight We Riot's gameplay mechanics, describing them as "innovative", but overall gave the game a negative review due to the game's short length and the shared socialist ideology of the developer and publisher, claiming that due to their ideology, they should not sell the game on the Nintendo eShop and Steam.
