About the Game

The Smashist is a first-person brawler set in a 1950's tavern with an army of fascist soldiers at the door. It puts you in the shoes of a strong-fisted revolutionary who's out to topple the regime, one punch to the snout at at time. With over-the-top silly physics and a wide selection of booze, you need to keep the regime soldiers occupied while your revolutionary friends free the city outside. Grab, throw, smash and drink your way to oblivion.

Free the people

You've lured the fascist soldiers here, now keep them occupied while your revolutionary friends free the city outside the pub. The further you go, the more of the regime gets toppled, the angrier the pigs get. If you manage to defeat all the lieutenants and their lackeys, your friends on the outside might just have a chance...
