The company Acquire has revealed its latest project, “Scars of Mars“, a real-time RPG that marks the third game in its portfolio of self-published titles. This exciting game will be released for PC via Steam in 2024.
“Scars of Mars” offers a unique real-time experience, where time constantly flows during combat and exploration. This means players must make decisions in seconds, execute precise commands quickly, and defeat enemies in a limited time. The unique tension and satisfaction of this game mechanic promises an exciting experience.
In strategic combat, players control four humanoids arranged on a 3×3 grid, making real-time decisions about their actions. Every move counts as you decide which characters to control, when to attack, dodge, heal or protect. The constant flow of time demands tactical positioning and precise timing, creating an immersive and strategic battle experience.
Players can assemble a group of four humanoids and embark on missions. Each humanoid can be customized by combining different classes, frames, and weapons, allowing for a wide variety of character variations. Whether you prefer a sniper who attacks from afar but moves slowly, a fighter who quickly cuts through enemies, a berserker specializing in close combat but with little defense, or a healer focused on support and defense, the choice is yours.
The routes are procedurally generated in each game, offering different paths, but you can select your movements to advance without getting lost. Each enemy encounter, event, and item container changes each match, making battery management crucial. Battles, events and movement along the route consume time, gradually draining your character’s battery. To be successful, you must make precise decisions based on the condition of your group and the remaining battery power.
Whether your goal is to defeat the boss in the deepest level or return halfway to collect equipment and items, the player’s wisdom and experience are vital to success in “Scars of Mars.” This game promises to offer a captivating gaming experience for real-time RPG lovers.
