Acquire released a new trailer for their dungeon crawler real-time RPG Scars of Mars, coming to PC via Steam in 2024. While a release date was not provided, the new trailer gives players a deeper look at the player customization and battle system.
In Scars of Mars, players are appointed as the commander of a humanoid unit on a critical mission to rescue survivors trapped in a Mars research facility. Set in the year 2158, this real-time strategy game challenges players to navigate a 3×3 grid battlefield, making split-second decisions to command their characters to fight, flee, or execute tactical maneuvers. The gameplay demands strategic timing and decisiveness as you race against the clock to overcome formidable obstacles and ensure the safe return of the survivors to Earth.
Customization plays a significant role in Scars of Mars, allowing players to gear up their humanoid squadron for any situation. Each unit can be tailored with various classes, frames, and equipment, enabling you to create specialized roles such as long-range snipers, quick fighters, combat berserkers, or supportive healers. As you navigate the multiple routes within the facility, you’ll need to manage your battery level carefully, making tough choices between delving deeper for a chance at the boss or retreating to gather new items and equipment. Your approach will determine the fate of your mission, requiring a keen eye and strategic foresight.
