Constantin Studios | Dracu: Mother Russia

Run. Gun. Cross him off.

Dracu: Mother Russia is a hand-built run-and-gun about a Romanian assassin with a very big gun and a very long hit list. Sprint across six frozen, burning, Soviet-flavoured stages, blow up everything that isn't nailed down, and hit the stuff that is nailed down harder.

The setup

Somewhere past the Carpathians, a power-mad empire has rolled out the tanks, the drones and a bear the size of a garage. At the top of it all sits Mother Russia herself, eyes glowing and in no mood to share. Dracu has a contract. Dracu has a list. Dracu brought friends, and some of them have four legs.

What you're in for

Run-and-gun, full throttle

Sprint, slide, somersault Contra-style and shoot mid-flip through stages packed with soldiers, gunners, drones and things that explode when you look at them funny.

Guns that level up

Every weapon grows as you use it, from cool cyan all the way to blazing gold. Gold-tier guns hit like a falling piano.

Six stages

From a snowed-in outpost to a secret lab and a fortress at the end of the world, each stage brings its own traps, props and backdrop.

Bosses with a grudge

Six huge multi-phase boss fights, flag-coloured health bars and cinematic finishers big enough to deserve their own fireworks budget.

Pets that fight

Charlie, Romeo, Bruce, Heidy, Oreo and Lupu run with you and chew through the opposition. Good dogs. Dangerous dogs.

Unlock skins

Earn new looks for Dracu, El Guapo, Bogdan, Goddess and the pack, and show up to the apocalypse dressed properly.

Achievements

A long list of things to brag about, including a few you'll only find by doing something very stupid.

Siberia hard mode

Think you've beaten it? Siberia hard mode turns the cold, the bullets and the bosses all the way up.

Heroes, good boys, and very bad bosses

The crew

Dracu

Old-world Romanian assassin, new-world firepower. Never misses, never forgets, and has a very personal problem with empires.

El Guapo

Handsome, loud and impossible to keep out of trouble. He brings the swagger and plenty of extra bullets.

Bogdan

Sharp white suit, gold pistols, zero patience. Bogdan settles every argument the loud way, and rarely needs a second clip.

Goddess

Red hair, black leather, deadly aim. She walks into the fortress like she owns it, and by the end she might.

The pack

Charlie

Tan coat, black saddle, zero fear. First into every fight.

Romeo

A lover, not a fighter, right up until somebody shoots at Dracu.

Bruce

Small dog, enormous attitude. Bites ankles. Bites tanks.

Heidy

Fast, sharp-eared and always one step ahead of the patrol.

Oreo

Black, white and fluffy all over. Mostly cuddles, with occasional mayhem.

Lupu

The wolf of the pack. Howls at the moon, then at the army.

The bosses

Babushka

A sweet old grandma with a cast-iron pan and a cane she swings like a war hammer. "You look thin. Let me FIX that."

Comrade Grizzly

A heavily decorated bear with laser eyes and a red star on his chest. He takes the Frozen Forest very personally.

Matryoshka Mech

A painted nesting doll packing a cannon in its belly. Crack one shell and there's another inside. "Inside every doll... is a ANGRIER doll."

President Vlad

Shirtless, bear-riding and full of himself. Push him hard enough and he unleashes his final form. You have been warned.

Viktor Dragovich Volkov

A blond boxing giant in star-spangled red shorts, with fists like wrecking balls. "I am the Iron Curtain."

Mother Russia

The empire's towering final boss. Her eyes fire lasers, and she does not miss often.

One Romanian assassin. Too many bullets. Zero chill.
