Relic Entertainment Unveils Earth vs. Mars Game

Get ready for an exciting new addition to the strategy game genre with Earth vs. Mars, a turn-based strategy game developed by the acclaimed Company of Heroes developer, Relic Entertainment. Scheduled for release this Summer on PC via Steam, Earth vs. Mars promises a unique and thrilling experience as players defend our planet from a Martian invasion.

In Earth vs. Mars, players will utilize the innovative Splice-O-Tron to create bizarre and powerful creature-human hybrids, such as the Squirrel-Cow, Human-Rhino, and Cheetah-Fly. These unique units will be key in battling the Martian forces. The gameplay draws inspiration from the beloved Nintendo DS classic, Advance Wars, ensuring a strategic and engaging experience.

According to Relic, "For decades, Martians have been secretly visiting Earth, abducting humans and animals to harvest their atomic essence. Now, they’ve returned with a full-scale invasion, and it’s up to a ragtag group of commanders to lead Earth’s resistance. Players will command Earth’s military against high-tech Martian saucers, grav-tanks, and elite alien warriors in a desperate struggle for survival."

Earth vs. Mars offers a robust gaming experience with a 30+ mission single-player campaign, online multiplayer where you can play as either faction, a VS Mode to challenge yourself against the game's AI, and a map editor for endless creativity and replayability.

Relic CEO Justin Dowdeswell expressed enthusiasm for the project, stating, “We are excited to bring a Relic Twist to the Advance Wars style of gameplay, infusing some Relic DNA, while harkening back to some of our earlier titles. Relic Entertainment recently announced a new strategy: Alongside continuing to work on the traditional RTS titles that we’re known for, we’re also going to work on smaller Indie style games in order to explore new sub-genres, experiment, get our creative juices going, and release games more frequently.” If you're intrigued by this unique strategy game, you can wishlist Earth vs. Mars on Steam now.
