Relic Entertainment Announces Earth vs. Mars Game

Get ready for an exciting new addition to the world of strategy gaming! Relic Entertainment, the masterminds behind Company of Heroes, are bringing us *Earth vs. Mars*, a fresh turn-based strategy game slated for release this Summer on PC via Steam. In this thrilling game, you'll take on the role of defending Earth from a Martian invasion by harnessing the power of the Splice-O-Tron to create unique and formidable creature-human hybrids. Imagine leading armies with the likes of Squirrel-Cows, Human-Rhinos, and Cheetah-Flies into battle! The gameplay draws inspiration from the beloved Nintendo DS classic, Advance Wars, ensuring a captivating experience for strategy enthusiasts.

Relic Entertainment sets the stage with a gripping narrative: "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." As a player, you'll command Earth's military forces against advanced Martian technology, including high-tech saucers, grav-tanks, and elite alien warriors, in a desperate fight for survival.

*Earth vs. Mars* promises a robust gaming experience with over 30 missions in its single-player campaign, online multiplayer where you can choose to defend Earth or command the Martian forces, a VS Mode for challenging the game's AI, and a map editor for creating your own battlegrounds.

Relic CEO Justin Dowdeswell shared his enthusiasm, 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 *Earth vs. Mars* piques your interest, you can wishlist it on Steam now and stay tuned for its Summer release.
