Relic Entertainment, the studio behind Company of Heroes, is venturing into a new, smaller-scale territory with Earth vs. Mars, a turn-based strategy game launching this summer on PC via Steam. Prepare for an interplanetary showdown as you defend Earth from a Martian invasion by creating bizarre and powerful creature-human hybrids using the Splice-O-Tron. Imagine commanding a Squirrel-Cow or a Human-Rhino against the Martian forces! The gameplay draws inspiration from the classic Nintendo DS title, Advance Wars.

According to Relic, Martians have been secretly visiting Earth for decades, abducting humans and animals to harvest their atomic essence. Now, they're launching a full-scale invasion, and it's up to you to lead Earth's resistance. Command Earth's military against high-tech Martian saucers, grav-tanks, and elite alien warriors in a desperate fight for survival.

Earth vs. Mars boasts a 30+ mission single-player campaign, online multiplayer where you can play as either Earth or Mars, a VS Mode to test your skills against the AI, and a map editor for endless replayability.

Relic CEO Justin Dowdeswell explains, “We’re thrilled to put a Relic spin on the Advance Wars style of gameplay, blending our signature style with elements from our earlier titles. This reflects our new strategy: alongside our traditional RTS games, we’re also developing smaller, indie-style games to explore new genres, experiment creatively, and release games more frequently.” Add it to your Steam wishlist today!
