✦ AI summary

Battle across a three-way war between humanity, rogue AI insects, and biomodified soldiers in this sci-fi shooter packed with PvP modes, wave-based survival, and co-op campaigns. Upgrade your arsenal through missions, tackle escalating difficulty tiers from Nightmare Challenges to punishing Quantum Trials, and experience your heroic journey through fully voice-acted cinematics spanning multiple timelines.

It's the year 20XX; military conflict between the League of Nations and UNITA run rampant across the globe, prompting small scale wars to break out in various regions. In order to combat UNITA's biochemical modification of humans, the League of Nations secretly developed the NRC: Insectoid Robots with frightening intelligence and a brimming consciousness, which sooner than not went rogue and became its own faction in this now-three-way war. The human world is now at stake, and a battle for survival and supremacy is being waged.

There's something for everyone amidst the many modes MARS has to offer! And fear not, those who enjoy a little PvE gameplay; MARS has dozens of those too! Fighting off aliens, dinosaurs, and robots in Wave based Survival modes, to pushing through UNITA's compound in challenging mini-campaigns with up to 4 players! There's no lack of things to do.
Every weapon in MARS comes with both a Level, and a Grade; each higher tier adding bonuses in terms of stats and abilities to your items! Complete missions to be awarded upgrade materials, and use those materials to upgrade your weapons; ...simple! Many weapons can even simply be bought from the armory with currency gained from completing missions and challenges; you'll have your own fully stocked arsenal in no time!

From 4 basic difficulty levels, coupled ontop of advanced challenge modes and unique settings; no thrillseeker or daredevil will ever be wanting more after trying out Nightmare Challenges! ...Or if you're feeling extra daring, give the Quantum Trials a go.

My name is Private BigZungus. I arrived on M.A.R.S. "DAMN" I said, "Lets go lets go" my commander said precisely every two minutes. I shoot the enemy, I reload, I intentionally fail the active reload every time "OHHHHhhhh NAGHTT AHGEN" I say quitely to myself with a burnt out voice. ENEMY ESCAPED repeats on the center of the screen 40 times in a row. I have 10 silver bullets, I go to the bathroom, I return and what the hell is this mech and drone business. First log in I get the "Gun that will kill you" for 24 hours. I am retribution, blacklight retribution, and I will Hawken all over the enemies. I'LL TAKE THAT This game plays like an instagram reel, and I expect nothing less from ZMR. But I am no simple fourteen year old looking for free crack on steam.

As one that played Mercenary Online back then, this game flunked. Unlike the mentioned game, you now what server you go into, what ping/connection you have and proper tutorial mechanic and no BS on PVP and PVE. The amount of microtransaction in this game is like a must to do as you need to dwell on PVE to get into a PVP. There literally is no reason as to why there is a level requirement on a PVP but you're forced to play PVE to even level up. Not only that, there is even no way to know your ping unless you dive into a game yourself. Automatically uninstalled after playing around for a few minutes lol I can see why the last update is 2023.

Hazard Ops copy, same game same engine, just a different story. Yingpei has classified this through many titles, microtransactions are still active and greedy. It's just a free game, and treat it like that, play it while you can, when you get bored, uninstall it. Don't buy anything from greedy developers. The game uses an engine from 2014
