Earth Vs Mars is a new strategy game from developer Relic Labs, which sits under publisher Relic Entertainment. It’s out now on Steam, priced at $14.99 with a 10% first week discount. The humorous turn-based game is heavily influenced by Advance Wars and Relic‘s own Impossible Creatures. 

In a press statement about Earth Vs Mars, Relic said. “This love letter to the turn-based strategy genre puts players at the helm of Earth’s forces in a desperate battle against a full-scale Martian invasion. Players must lead an unlikely group of commanders against alien saucers, grav-tanks, and elite alien warriors threatening the planet.”
