Sometimes your best allies are your worst enemies.

In a world where various forces of darkness constantly war with each other within the shadows, you are among a small number in supernatural community that have elected to suspend hostilities for the good of their city. Now, staring down an invasion from ruthless outsiders, you'll need to join forces to save the place you all call home.

The Game

In Comrade: The Allegiance you'll face down overwhelming odds in an action-horror setting, with beat-em-up video game inspired combat, and special powers fueled by Bond Points that you earn from helping your fellow comrades. Defeat your enemies with supernatural abilities and the power of friendship. (And also violence).
