The attack on Mars has turned violent, and now the colonial workforce is in an outright rebellion against their oppressive employers. Here’s the plot for the upcoming Mars Tactics. This mouth-watering upcoming tactical game lets you run an entire campaign as either a capitalist or labor faction, develop your troops, move them across Mars in the strategy layer, and fight in turn-based battles. . There are some very deep destructible environments.
There’s a really cool moment in the trailer when a grenade knocks over a fence and blows away a regolith crater on Mars, allowing advancing troops to quickly use the crater as a makeshift trench. If you like XCOM-type tactical games, this game is a dream come true.
The unit also has a 360 degree free aiming system that allows it to punch holes in objects. A clever example from the developers is punching a hole in the ceiling and throwing in a grenade that arcs towards enemies outside. To that end, since bullets are physical objects with trajectories, there is the potential for friendly fire or, in the worst case, civilian casualties. It and almost every object can be destroyed or destroyed enough for you to get through.
You can play a short demo of Mars Tactics right now, but it’s clearly not all it’s intended to be. Throughout the game, you’ll find elaborate resources such as airstrikes, artillery, and vehicles on the field. You can also retreat your units from one map to another and move from map to map before ambushing enemy pursuers.
