Tonight We Riot is a revolutionary beat ’em up action game for Windows developed by Pixel Pushers Union 512 and published by Means Interactive. Released in May 2020, this side-scrolling brawler mixes old-school arcade combat with a political message: you don’t control just one hero, but lead a growing crowd of workers fighting against oppressive forces in a dystopian future where powerful elites rule society.
Unlike many games focused on single protagonists, Tonight We Riot has you recruit more people into your movement as you liberate factories, battle police, drones and bosses, and push through multiple levels that grow in size and challenge as your mob grows. Players can tackle the game solo or locally in co-op, using a variety of melee and thrown weapons, managing crowd tactics, and enjoying its energetic soundtrack and retro, stylized visuals. With dynamic difficulty tied to your revolutionary crowd’s size and a mix of humor, strategy and arcade action, the game offers both entertaining brawls and commentary on solidarity, unity and resistance.
