From Relic Labs:
This love letter to the turn-based strategy genre puts players at the helm of Earth’s forces in a desperate battle against a full-scale Martian invasion. Players must lead an unlikely group of commanders against alien saucers, grav-tanks, and elite alien warriors threatening the planet.
Humanity’s secret weapon is the Splice-O-Tron, a device that fuses human volunteers with Earth’s creatures to create powerful hybrid super soldiers. From cheetah-fly scouts to rhino-human tanks and squirrel-cow infantry, these bizarre, but powerful, super soldiers give humanity a fighting chance.
As the campaign unfolds, you’ll unlock new creatures, upgrades, and commander abilities—but your enemy evolves too, unleashing horrors like “The Creep” and other mutant creations.
