Relic Entertainment releases their turn-based strategy game Earth vs Mars onto Steam today

From Press Release:

[Vancouver, Canada – October 29th] – Relic Entertainment is proud to release our first title under the Relic Labs banner – Earth vs Mars. Available now on Steam for $14.99 USD, Earth vs Mars will have a 10% launch discount for two weeks.

This love letter to the turn-based strategy genre puts players at the helm of Earth’s forces in a desperate battle against a full-scale Martian invasion. Players must lead an unlikely group of commanders against alien saucers, grav-tanks, and elite alien warriors threatening the planet.

Humanity’s secret weapon is the Splice-O-Tron, a device that fuses human volunteers with Earth’s creatures to create powerful hybrid super soldiers. From cheetah-fly scouts to rhino-human tanks and squirrel-cow infantry, these bizarre, but powerful, super soldiers give humanity a fighting chance.

As the campaign unfolds, you’ll unlock new creatures, upgrades, and commander abilities—but your enemy evolves too, unleashing horrors like “The Creep” and other mutant creations.

ABOUT RELIC LABS
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 created by smaller teams with shorter development cycles and 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!
