Mars Commander
A downloadable game for Windows
After three long decades of interplantetary warfare, Chronos, an evil AI that despised humanity, stood on the brink of victory. All that stood between it and complete annihilation of the human race was an entity known as the Commander. Using small bands of heroic units, he was able to hold his own against the AI superpower and its overwhelming might.
Using Mars as his main base of operations, the Commander scored several hard-earned victories, sparking hope amongst humanity's last remnants. Though both his identity and ultimate motivation remained shrouded in mystery, the Commander pressed on with relentless determination and vigor.
Today's battle will be about demolishing two AI-controlled Strategy Centers. Protected by two massive energy shields, the Commander's only chance will be to obliterate the generators that power them while fending off Chronos' strike forces.
The enemy has placed many stationary defences in the area as well as hosts of Assault Tanks, so only smart tactical combinations and strategic thinking will ensure victory.
Mars Commander is a third-person, sci-fi action game with fully-controllable tanks, turrets, mobile nukes, engineers, and more. You can easily switch between units under your command while ordering others as you would in an RTS.
In Mars Commander, you lead, scout, control, and anhilate, making it the perfect blend between FPS and RTS.
