About the Game

Peace is Over, Revenge has Begun!
In a gritty American suburb, the retirement of a former Russian gangster—who spent her days tending to her "special backyard herbs"—came to a crashing halt with a single note. The Boulevard Sharks, a ruthless gang of loan sharks, have kidnapped Babushka’s most precious treasure: her young grandson, as payment for a debt. For Babushka, there is now only one rule left: Eliminate anyone in your way.





Retro Visuals, Modern Action
Babushka: Old Lady's Payback blends the iconic visual style of the PS1 era with fluid, handcrafted animations and satisfying combat mechanics. With a wide arsenal including ARs, Shotguns, and Bazookas, deliver justice "the Russian way" to the loan sharks and anyone else foolish enough to stand in your path.





Game Features:

  • Cinematic & Deep Storytelling: Experience a semi-open yet linear campaign filled with opportunistic allies, dangerous enemies, and unexpected betrayals.

  • Intense Combat Dynamics: Defend dealer against waves of police raids or storm the hidden dens of loan sharks.

  • Absurd & Dark Humor: Featuring a heavy Russian accent, a shady criminal past, and a witty narrative style touching on current events.

  • Atmospheric World-Building: Explore atmospheric levels inspired by 90s crime films, where every corner hides a different story.
