Produced by a previously unknown Evil Pirate Studio, the short video shows a Slavic-looking walled town with neon holograms and Orthodox icon graffiti. The town is being assaulted by clawed monstrosities with flamethrowers in place of their mouths. The attack, however, is thwarted by a trio of warriors, including a female archer with a blade prosthetic leg, a monk firing glowing projectiles from a giant Celtic cross and a Viking covered by metal plates. | |

About a day after publication on YouTube, it scored some 250,000 views and scores of positive comments. | The Russian audience seems to be thrilled about the setting with all its kitsch elements like domed church towers with glowing electric coils or grenades shaped as evil-grinning matryoshka dolls.
