Relic Entertainment, the acclaimed developer behind Company of Heroes, is set to launch a new, smaller-scale turn-based strategy game titled Earth vs. Mars. Scheduled for release this Summer on PC via Steam, the game challenges players to defend Earth from a Martian invasion by utilizing the innovative Splice-O-Tron to create unique creature-human hybrids. Examples of these hybrids include the Squirrel-Cow, Human-Rhino, and Cheetah-Fly, adding a whimsical twist to strategic gameplay inspired by the beloved Nintendo DS classic, Advance Wars.
According to Relic, the narrative unfolds with Martians who have been secretly visiting Earth for decades, abducting humans and animals to harvest their atomic essence. Now, they've launched a full-scale invasion, and it's up to a ragtag group of commanders to lead Earth's resistance. Players will 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 offers a comprehensive gaming experience with a 30+ mission single-player campaign, online multiplayer where players can choose to fight as either Earth or Mars, a VS Mode to test your skills against the game's AI, and a map editor for custom battles.
“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,” said Relic CEO Justin Dowdeswell. He further elaborated on Relic's new strategy, stating, “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 you're intrigued by this unique blend of strategy and creativity, you can wishlist Earth vs. Mars on Steam.
