In the early 2030s, scientists discover a new way to create super batteries -- using rare elements only found in Martian soil. The leader in space flight, Webber Corporation, seizes the opportunity and quickly establishes a mining monopoly on the red planet.

The supercharged batteries trigger an energy revolution on Earth, but brutal conditions on Mars are taking a huge toll on the workforce. One day, a group of fed-up workers take matters into their own hands...

In Mars Tactics, you lead a squad of rebel workers or the Webber Corporation to battle across the red planet -- with humanity's economic future at stake.

• The Complete Tactical Sandbox: Covering fire, suppression, flanking, line of sight, fog of war, stealth, friendly fire, and more. Xcom and Jagged Alliance fans will feel right at home.
  
• Unique RNG Management: Taking fire, missing shots, and other negative events create stress for each soldier. But that stress can be used to pull off special moves. Just remember, too much stress can kill you.
  
• Advanced AP Tactics: Taking fire reduces a unit's initiative. Focus fire on a single target to keep them pinned while you flank around.
  
• Emergent Personalities: Your troops gain traits based on what happens in battle. If that rookie keeps landing clutch shots, he might develop into a sniper. Each playthrough you'll need to adapt to the strengths and weaknesses of your squad.
  
• Relationships: Troops develop relationships during battle. Build chemistry to gain experience faster and pull-off special combo moves.
  
• Squad Management: Soldiers get injured and tired, and you will face multiple battle fronts. Strategic roster management is the only way to win.
  
• Ballistics and Destruction: Stray bullets can hit other enemies, allies or civilians. Every object can be destroyed to remove cover or create new attack strategies. Can't out-flank 'em? Blow a hole in the wall!
  
• Tactical + Strategic: Every decision impacts your short and long-term progress. Too many bullets fired last mission means more time in the mine after the battle.
  
• Goal Oriented Action Planning (GOAP AI): Both enemy soldiers and commanders will try to think ahead to try and surprise you. And when you're crushing it, they'll try to retreat to fight another day.
  
• Emergent Economy: AI agents on Mars and Earth will go about achieving their economic goals in their own ways. If you can figure out who is doing what, you can avoid combat altogether.
  
• Hand-Crafted Proc-Gen: Both tactical and strategic maps are procedurally generated from custom-made building blocks so that each campaign is fresh and balanced.
  
• Hand-Drawn 3D Pixel Graphics: 360 degree camera rotation and zoom to enjoy each chunky pixel.
