About This Demo

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!

In the Earth vs. Mars demo, a turn-based strategy game of alien invasion and genetic engineering, you must lead Earth’s forces in a desperate fight for survival. Using the Splice-O-Tron, you'll combine fly, cheetah and rhino DNA with human “volunteers” and lead them alongside Earth’s regular forces into battle on three skirmish maps.

This is a small introductory look at the game. These skirmish onboarding missions are aimed at providing a fun first time experience to players and giving them a taste of what Earth vs Mars has to offer.

The full game will feature a narrative-driven campaign featuring over 30 missions, skirmish modes, 2-4 person multiplayer and a full-featured map editor! 

HARNESS the power of genetic engineering and UNLEASH an army of SCIENTIFIC MARVELS to PROTECT EARTH from the onslaught of the MARTIAN MENACE! 

Earth vs Mars places you in charge of a band of unlikely heroes leading Earth’s military forces as they face an overwhelming Martian invasion. Using the incredible Splice-O-Tron machine you’ll create human-animal hybrids to fight alongside Earth’s military against high-tech saucers, grav-tanks and elite alien warriors in a battle for the planet’s survival. 

This demo allows you to use the Splice-O-Tron to combine fly, cheetah and rhino DNA with human “volunteers” to create versatile super soldiers complete with powerful special abilities.

Rain acid from the skies with the fast-moving cheetah-fly, charge through enemy lines with a devastating human-rhino hybrid or cut through enemy lines with the devastating cheetah-man. 

The full game will include many more creatures such as the eagle, the gecko and the deadly axolotl! 

After building your units and choosing from three commanders, each with unique battle-changing abilities, you’ll face the might of the Martian army across three hand-crafted maps, each with its own tactical challenges and unique gameplay elements.
