Do not buy this game. See, if it had been made with solid controls, a plot that was intriguing, vastly improved visuals, stable gameplay, and a host of other elements, Stalin vs. Martians could have been one of those guilty pleasures that would've turned the game into a cult classic.

But you'll definitely have buyer's remorse if you choose to get this game. Once again, do not buy this game.
