What is Mars: War Logs?

This third-person, single-player action RPG takes place on Mars nearly a century after a catastrophe, as companies fight over scarce water. As Roy, you complete quests, make choices, recruit companions, craft gear, and fight in real time using melee attacks, ranged weapons, stealth, or Technomant powers.

For you if...

  • +you enjoy making choices in sci-fi quests
  • +you like customizing an RPG character's fighting style
  • +you prefer a shorter adventure over a sprawling one

Not for you if...

  • −you want multiplayer combat with other people
  • −you prefer turn-based battles over real-time combat
  • −you want broad, open-ended exploration instead of constrained areas
