We’re so excited to show you our first Relic Labs title! Starting today, you can play the Earth vs Mars Demo!
In this turn-based strategy game, an unlikely group of commanders will lead the Earth’s Global Military Alliance as they face an overwhelming Martian invasion. Fight high-tech saucers, grav-tanks, and elite alien warriors in a battle for humanity’s survival.
This Demo will give you the chance to try Earth’s secret weapon: the Splice-O-Tron. Splice human “volunteers” with alien DNA to create powerful hybrid super soldiers capable of taking on the Martian invaders!
This is a small introductory look at the game. These skirmish onboarding missions are aimed at providing a fun first time experience to players and giving them a taste of what Earth vs Mars has to offer.
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 developed by smaller teams with shorter development cycles with 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. We hope you enjoy it!
KEY DEMO FEATURES
3 Missions
Splice-O-Tron – (limited creature availability for the demo with more in the final game!)
3 Commanders
Keep in mind that the game is still in Alpha, and we’ll be making improvements and fixing bugs right up until launch.
We plan to post more community updates for you in the coming months to share more about the world and characters, both the singleplayer and multiplayer components of the game, and of course, a closer look at the level editor. Stay tuned for all of that soon!
Thanks so much for playing the demo and don’t forget to wishlist it right now on Steam!
