About Earth vs Mars

Earth vs Mars is a turn-based strategy game and the first release under Relic Labs, a banner for smaller teams working on shorter cycles to experiment in new strategic spaces. It pays homage to some beloved strategy games while adding a distinctly Relic twist, casting an unlikely group of commanders to lead Earth's military against an overwhelming Martian invasion. For decades the Martians have quietly abducted animals and humans to harvest their atomic essence, and now they have returned to claim the planet outright.

Your trump card is the Splice-O-Tron, a device that fuses human volunteers with Earth's creatures to produce powerful hybrid supersoldiers who fight beside your regular forces. Those hybrids come in wonderfully strange forms, from the fast-moving cheetah-fly that rains acid from above to devastating human-rhino units that charge through enemy lines and deadly squirrel-cow infantry that strike from the cover of forests.

Across the campaign you square off against high-tech saucers, grav-tanks and elite alien warriors in a battle for the planet's survival. Blending tactical combat with a genetic-engineering hook, Earth vs Mars offers PC strategy players a playful, inventive spin on the alien-invasion premise while keeping its turn-based decisions front and center.
