Steam Next Fest Demo
Greetings workers and capitalists,
We're excited to let you know that a new demo of Mars Tactics will be available for Steam Next Fest, which starts next week on October 9. The demo will feature three new interlinked missions that showcase the different kinds of battles you’ll be fighting in your war for control of Mars. Each mission highlights a unique aspect of the strategy layer design -- prisoners of war, stealing resources, and battles against large numbers of enemies.
In addition, the demo includes many new features completed in recent months: the full destruction engine, airstrikes, unit traits, smarter enemy AI, an LMG-buddy system, melee attacks, unique grenade-scramble mechanics, and graphical improvements.
Be sure to check it out and stay tuned for more details coming soon on the strategy layer. We won’t spoil too much for now – but we can share that outposts will be a major focus. Your squads are always assigned to an outpost now; from there, you send them out on missions. Supply and logistics will become more important because the further away the mission is, the harder it is to keep your troops supplied unless you devote a ton of strategic resources (like jets).
We can’t wait to show you more!
