Mars: War Logs

Nearly a century after a catastrophe threw Mars and its colonies into chaos, water is scarce and powerful groups fight to control it. You play as Roy, a renegade caught up in the conflict, beginning his story in a Martian prison camp.

Explore compact areas, take on story and side quests, and face enemies in real-time third-person combat. Roy can fight up close, use ranged weapons, rely on stealth, or wield electricity-based technomancy, with companions able to join him on his journey.

Earn skill points to develop Roy’s abilities and combat approach, and gather materials to craft and upgrade equipment. Dialogue choices and decisions involving the factions can affect relationships, reputation, and the story’s outcome.

Players who enjoy the game often praise its harsh Martian setting and the atmosphere of its resource-starved colonies. Reviews also point to an engaging story, consequential choices, and the range of combat builds as highlights. Combat receives mixed reactions: some enjoy its active, skill-based approach, while others find it awkward or repetitive.
