Earth vs. Mars Announced by Company of Heroes Developer Relic Entertainment

Author : Thomas Feb 28,2025

Relic Entertainment, the studio behind Company of Heroes, is launching a new, smaller-scale turn-based strategy game: Earth vs. Mars. This PC title (Steam release) arrives this summer and challenges players to defend Earth from a Martian invasion. The key? The Splice-O-Tron, a device used to create bizarre and powerful human-animal hybrids like the Squirrel-Cow, Human-Rhino, and Cheetah-Fly. Gameplay draws inspiration from the classic Nintendo DS game, Advance Wars.

Relic explains the premise: Martians have secretly visited Earth for decades, abducting humans and animals to harvest their atomic essence. Now, a full-scale invasion is underway, and a diverse 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 boasts a 30+ mission single-player campaign, online multiplayer (playable as either faction), a VS Mode against the AI, and a map editor.

Relic CEO Justin Dowdeswell stated, "We're thrilled to put a Relic spin on Advance Wars-style gameplay, incorporating our signature style while drawing inspiration from earlier titles. Our new strategy involves continuing our work on traditional RTS games while also developing smaller, indie-style games to explore new genres, experiment creatively, and release games more often."
