News: A new action-arcade game where you have to survive in the Moscow metro until the day’s last train.

Spooky Squid Games has revealed that they have released Russian Subway Dogs on Steam for PC and Mac. It is available for $14.99 but you can save 10% off the price right now to celebrate the launch. To celebrate the game’s launch, Spooky Squid has teamed up with Toronto charity, Save Our Scruff. For each unit sold over launch week (August 2 -8), the team will donate $1 USD to this non-profit organization that rescues dogs all over the world (including Russia!) and finds them safe and loving permanent homes through adoption, advocacy and education.

Russian Subway Dogs is an action-arcade game that pits players against the clock as they consume food to survive until the day’s last train, all while avoiding rogue bears, barking at volatile vodka, and fending off rival critters. Based on real-life dogs that learned to navigate the Moscow metro and scavenge for food to survive, step into the paws of a whole host of adorable canines and critters, including cameos from indie darlings like Gunshow’s Question Hound (everyone’s favourite "this is fine" dog), Guacamelee’s Uay Chivo, Nidhogg 2’s, well, Nidhogg, and many more.

In the game you will travel the Moscow metro system with the Proletaricat and her litter of chaotic kittens in Campaign mode. You'll face over 100 unique challenges across dozens of lovingly pixeled levels based on real-life subway stations. Want a quick fix? Bring your stray dog skills to Endless mode where you can claw your way to the top of the online leaderboards. Either way, Russian Subway Dogs offers up more systemic arcade action than you can wag a tail at.

Take a look at the trailer below and tell us what you think. Russian Subway Dogs is only available on PC and Mac right but it should arrive on consoles later this year. Are you going to pick up Russian Subway Dogs?
