Relic Entertainment, the studio behind Company of Heroes, is venturing into a new strategic territory with Earth vs. Mars, a smaller-scale, 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 horde! Gameplay draws inspiration from the classic Nintendo DS title, Advance Wars.
The narrative unfolds with a surprising twist: Martians have been secretly visiting Earth for decades, abducting humans and animals to harvest their atomic essence. Now, their full-scale invasion is upon us, 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 boasting 30+ missions, online multiplayer where you can command either Earth or Martian forces, 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 infusing our signature Relic DNA while also drawing inspiration from some of our earlier titles. This marks a new strategy for Relic Entertainment. Alongside our traditional RTS games, we’ll be developing smaller, indie-style games to explore new subgenres, experiment creatively, and release games more frequently.” Add Earth vs. Mars to your Steam wishlist today!
