Nekome: Nazi Hunter is about gleefully butchering fascists in Germany and America, but its devs swear it's not political

Nekome is an interesting, politically bold game, even if its studio tried to convince me it isn't.

Nekome: Nazi Hunter is about gleefully butchering fascists in Germany and America, but its devs swear it's not political

A developer for Nekome: Nazi Hunter explained that the game is not meant to be a political statement. However, the demo showcased a chaotic scene with Nazi leaders gathered for a feast, discussing their plans for European death camps and the eventual triumph of the Aryan race. The protagonist, Vano, a Romani man, proceeds to brutally murder every unarmed Nazi in the room.

The developers claimed this was not a political message, but the game's focus on slaughtering Nazis, even those in the United States, seemed to contradict their stance. The developers also mentioned that Vano's quest for vengeance would not leave players feeling bad about their actions.
