About Pato Martinez

Pato Martinez is a Shoot’em Up videogame set during the Spanish Civil War, thought as a learning tool and to make the history more entertaining.
We propose a trip though the most important air battles of the war: El paso del estrecho, la ofensiva de Madrid, la batalla del Jarama, etc.

Educational material
When you begin each game, the player can watch a cinematic about the evolution of the war, the men that fought and the planes they controlled.

Inside the game you can access information about all the forces that fought, planes description, the list of all the aces that fought, etc.

All the educational material was reviewed by aviation history experts so that it has historical accuracy.

Game
After the cinematics you’ll be able to flight with planes like Polikarpov I-16 “Mosca” or the Fiat CR-32 “Chirri”. All the planes that appear on the games are real representations of aircrafts that fought during the war.

The backgrounds of each game reflect the environmental conditions on those fights and the other vehicles that fought there like the T-26 or the CV-33.

Special features
We’ve added a special emphasis on both the music and the graphic style so that the can represent the atmosphere of the war, using music, typos and graphic designs used at that time.

"Pato Martinez" is a simple and rather poorly made bullet hell/shoot 'em up with a Spanish Civil War theme, which I guess people will find interesting as the most notable precursor to the brutal global conflict which would follow just a couple of years later. Lessons learned from this conflict informed every major nation in WW2... but I digress a lot here. This is not a particularly interesting representation of the Spanish Civil War, it's a lulzy, lame ripoff of 1942 only way worse in every respect than the ancient arcade game it's ripping off. There's no English translation for the game, but that's okay. The language of bad games is universal. The game features really lacklustre 2D visuals (does the developer not know 3D graphics became mainstream in the mid-1990s?). Gamers don't spend thousands of dollars on gaming rigs to pretend they're mobile phones or Commodore 64s. Not every "free" game really is. There's often MTX, or content locked behind DLC, or donations being requested, or any other number of things that could mislead gamers, but in this case I'm glad to say this really does appear to be a fully free game. Nothing demonstrates a developers belief in themselves…
