About Earth vs Mars

Martians have been visiting Earth for decades, abducting animals and humans and harvesting their atomic essence to create bizarre Martian-creature hybrids. This time they’re here to claim our planet. 
In this turn-based strategy game, an unlikely group of commanders will lead Earth’s military as they face an overwhelming Martian invasion. Fight high-tech saucers, grav-tanks and elite alien warriors in a battle for the planet’s survival. 

Your secret weapon is the “Splice-O-Tron". With it, you can combine human "volunteers" with Earth creatures to create powerful hybrid supersoldiers to fight alongside Earth’s regular military. Rain acid from the skies with the fast-moving cheetah-fly. Charge through enemy lines with devastating human-rhino hybrids. Or strike from the forests with your deadly squirrel-cow infantry.  

As the campaign progresses, you’ll unlock new types of creature, powerful unit upgrades and game-changing commander abilities. But as your army evolves, so will your enemy’s, and you’ll face everything from the sentient organic weapon known only as “The Creep” to the Martian’s own mutant creations. 
KEY FEATURES
  • Splice-O-Tron – Bringing some old-school Relic flavor to this genre, the Splice-O-Tron is a key mechanic in Earth vs Mars. Combining creatures with human “volunteers” will allow you to field an array of exciting and powerful hybrid units
  • Single Player Campaign – Earth vs Mars features an expansive narrative focused campaign composed of over 30 hand-crafted missions
  • Online Multiplayer – Battle against other commanders in 1vs1 multiplayer, either as the armies of Earth or as the forces of the Martian Invaders
  • VS Mode – Battle against the A.I. on custom maps giving endless replayability to single-player fans
  • Challenge Mode – Chase your high score in battles against the A.I.
  • Brutal Mode - Raises the difficulty across the entire campaign, where mission failure means the end of your run. 
  • Permadeath Mode - When enabled, defeated spliced creatures are gone forever, raising the stakes of every battle.
  • Map Lab – Fully featured map editor allows you to create custom maps and scenarios
  • Unit Abilities – Many of the units in Earth vs Mars have their own unique abilities, adding new strategies and gameplay depth to this style of game
  • Commanders – There are multiple commanders in the game, each bringing unique abilities that change the way you play
  • Beautifully realized 3D world – The world of Earth vs Mars brings expressive units, vibrant environments, and stunning effects to players
  • Fully Voiced Experience - The game is fully voiced, bringing commanders, units and story moments to life

Earth vs Mars is our first game under the Relic Labs banner. Relic Labs games differ from our traditional, larger-scale strategy titles (which we're continuing to support and develop) in that they are created by smaller teams with shorter development cycles and a goal of experimenting in new strategy spaces, creating fun new worlds, and getting them in the hands of players sooner. Earth vs Mars was made by a small team of passionate Relicans with the goal of paying homage to some of our favorite strategy games, while adding a Relic twist.

Like the switch's Wargroove, this is mostly a copy paste of Advance Wars, which is old enough now a lot of younger gamer won't know it. the only part original to it is splicing beast-people. It's a change, not great, not bad, just makes it a little different. If you like AW and Wargroove mechanically, then you'll probably like this one mechanically. The maps aren't as refined though. as for story, it's low quality writing but i don't think many people buy this type of game for the story anyway. Bigger problem is the blatant anti-male bent to it. 100% of good ideas come from the obviously superior in every conceivable way female characters, who are actively derisive toward the male ones.

A more than decent shot at an Advance Wars like game. Mechanically it functions like an advance wars with extra features which allow it to stand out among a sea of Advance Wars like games. [h3] Gameplay[/h3] As I said, mechanically the game has the same basics as AW as in capture with infantry, repair with cities, you win/lose on HQ capture or rout etc. Where it stands out is its implementation of unit abilities that give more of an identity to the unit than just "it deals more damage against X unit". Obviously the most outstanding being the spliced units which are special units you can customize with DNA from different animals to create the equivalent of a "hero unit" that has powers and abilities that dwarf even the most expensive units by far. However, spliced units aren't the only ones able to use special abilities as some of the generic units are also able to use special abilities to allow you to access a much wider variety of tactics to deal with whatever the enemy throws at you. This reminds me a lot of Company of Heroes, an RTS made by Relic also where all units have access to abilities that allow them to shine in specific situations which also contributes a lot to unit i…

A clear labour of love with some of it's own takes on the Advance Wars formula. A great time on the deck, though default graphics options are probably set a little too low.

Very entertaining spiritual successor to Advance Wars. This is NOT xcom but that's okay! It's a fun casual game and I'm having a blast with it
