Red Comrades: Save the Galaxy is the first in a series of Russian games by Buka Entertainment. Although initially released in 1999, the game was updated and re-released on Steam. The protagonists are historical Russian characters, but the story involves alien invasion and has a comedic undertone. In this game, Pete and Vasily set off to retrieve their stolen Army banner, but end up repelling an alien invasion. There are 27 Steam Achievements, all documented in the walkthrough below. The series continues with Red Comrades 2: For the Great Justice.
