Stalin vs. Martians is a parody real-time strategy video game developed by Black Wing Foundation, Dreamlore and N-Game, released on April 29, 2009. Described as "trashy and over-the-top" by its creators, the game mocks World War II strategy games and utilizes pythonesque humor. The developers state that Stalin vs. Martians is "obviously a parody, which sometimes gets close to being a satire" and is "halfway to becoming a trash icon of gaming industry for years". In some interviews the lead designer of the game compares Stalin vs. Martians to the Troma films.
In July, following the game's release, it became no longer available to be purchased, for unknown reasons. The official website claimed that an upgraded version of Stalin vs. Martians would soon be released; however, the game was never made available again, neither in original or upgraded version.
This game uses the same updated version of the Enigma Engine as Blitzkrieg 2.
Stalin vs. Martians received overwhelmingly negative reviews from critics and is considered to be one of the worst games of all time.
