    All the communist revolutions are ripe material for all kinds of games

      i remember that brief moment i had the vague hope that the latest Far Cry game was going to be a Castro's revolution simulator

      instead we got some lib shit "you are CIA backed liberal rebels fighting the Castro regime and castro is that scary guy from breaking bad"

      also: Castro's revolution literally has the tenor and beats of a great video game! small group of survivors, great characters, slowly unlocking the map and destroying depots and doing side quests for locals to gain their trust, and a final setpiece boss battle against the armored train!! oh and great stealth/evasion section as Che's squad tries to sneak through the swamp under fire from the embankment

        Not quite what you want, but Partisans 1941 has bits and pieces of that in an isometric stealth game

        It does seem like a good videogame story. Would there be some opensource game that could be easily modified to this story?

          been thinking about it myself. depends on whether it would go the 1st person open world route or like some kind of low res deep systems tactical management squad game

      a mafia style open world game setting up protection rackets, extorting the wealthy, robbing banks, etc. for the cause.
