Steam Next Fest Patch + Mini Tutorial Video

Mars Tactics

The Red Planet is at war. Lead either Capital’s corporate army or Labor’s worker revolutionaries and wage war across a vast strategic map, then assume direct control in turn-based tactical battles featuring artillery, vehicles, and fully-destructible environments.

Hi everyone, I just updated the demo with a couple of new things, difficulty rebalancing and some QoL. You can read full patch notes below. Also I know it's not a substitute for a proper tutorial (which is coming!) but for now I made a little video explaining the most important mechanic in the game: suppression. I hope it helps you make make sense of the demo. [previewyoutube=geXpJLZt9gY;full][/previewyoutube] Thank you again for all your feedback and patience. Patch Notes - Version 0.2.26 [u]New Stuff[/u] 🏃Escaping the battlefield now works differently. When you are at the edge of the map, you can spend AP to make progress toward fleeing. After spending 4 AP, you can then escape. Ending the turn on anything but an edge tile will reset your progress. 🛬You can now use airstrikes on Forlorn Hope mission. (therewolfmb) [u]Balance[/u] 🥪Jailbreak Express is now a little easier as reinforcements only come from one side, instead of sandwiching you. 🫡Outpost Assault is now harder with two additional reinforcement waves in the later stages of the battle. 🤹‍♂️Caliver suppression reduced by half. (PressureLine, therewolfmb) 🧀Removed cheesing the aim cone. Now the size of the cone doesn't change over distance. (nyanarchist, CaptKufy777, therewolfmb) [u]QoL[/u] 🔍Icons above units now scale with zoom. (SwfDelicious, Kirrim) ⌨️Added keybind to remove UI from the screen when taking screenshots and thumbnails. (JDee) ✨Various UX and UI improvements -- too many to list! (SwfDelicious, Billy Lee, raynecloud, CaptKufy777, James) 🎥Camera will now follow thrown enemy grenades. (arth) [u]Bugs[/u] 🐛Fixed major bug where moving units simultaneously would sometimes eat your AP without doing anything. (Warclops) 🐛Fixed bug only affecting gigachads: if you killed everyone instead of running away on Jailbreak Express, game will count it as a win. (Tiruin, Drumheller) 🐛Fixed bug preventing Hunter trait from working with melee. (PressureLine) 🐛Fixed various other bugs. - Yuji (Manhole)
