Relic Entertainment, the studio behind Company of Heroes, is venturing into a new, smaller-scale territory with Earth vs. Mars, a turn-based strategy game slated for a PC (Steam) release this summer. Prepare for an interplanetary showdown as you defend Earth from a Martian invasion by harnessing the power of the Splice-O-Tron—a device capable of creating bizarre and powerful creature-human hybrids. Imagine commanding a Squirrel-Cow or a Human-Rhino against the Martian threat! The gameplay draws inspiration from the classic Nintendo DS title, Advance Wars.
Relic describes the scenario: For decades, Martians have secretly visited Earth, abducting humans and animals to harvest their atomic essence. Now, their full-scale invasion is underway, and a ragtag group of commanders must lead Earth's resistance. Players will command Earth's military forces against advanced Martian saucers, grav-tanks, and elite alien warriors in a desperate fight for survival.

Earth vs. Mars offers a robust single-player campaign with 30+ missions, online multiplayer where you can play as either Earth or Mars, a VS Mode to test your skills against the AI, and a map editor for endless replayability.
"We're thrilled to put a Relic spin on the Advance Wars style of gameplay," says Relic CEO Justin Dowdeswell. "We're injecting some of our signature Relic DNA while also drawing inspiration from our earlier titles. This new strategy allows us to continue developing our traditional RTS games while simultaneously exploring smaller, indie-style projects. This approach lets us experiment with new sub-genres, fuel our creativity, and release games more frequently." Add Earth vs. Mars to your Steam wishlist today!
