Enter the World of Earth vs Mars
In an alternate 1950s, Earth's first manned mission to Mars has inadvertently triggered an intergalactic war with the Martians. Outmatched and outgunned, the Global Military Alliance turns to reclusive Annabel Corman and her invention, the Splice-O-Tron. Alongside Colonel Marcus Shaw, a fearless tactician leading Earth’s defense, you’ll fight to protect cities, rally the last human strongholds, and push back against the Martian threat.
The Battle for Earth Begins
Earth vs Mars delivers a complete strategy experience in a world where tactical choices, hybrid super soldier creation, and character-driven storytelling collide.
Lead the Global Military Alliance through 34 hand-crafted campaign missions and wield the Splice-O-Tron to fuse human “volunteers” with animal DNA. With nine commanders, each with their own distinct abilities, no two battles play the same. Once you’ve turned the tide on the campaign, dive into 1 vs 1 online multiplayer, test your tactics in Skirmish and Challenge modes, or experiment in the Map Lab.
