Steam Next Fest Patch + Mini Tutorial Video

Mars Tactics

The Red Planet is at war. Lead either Capitalā€™s corporate army or Laborā€™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] šŸƒEscaping 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. šŸ›¬You can now use airstrikes on Forlorn Hope mission. (therewolfmb) [u]Balance[/u] šŸ„ŖJailbreak Express is now a little easier as reinforcements only come from one side, instead of sandwiching you. šŸ«”Outpost Assault is now harder with two additional reinforcement waves in the later stages of the battle. šŸ¤¹ā€ā™‚ļøCaliver suppression reduced by half. (PressureLine, therewolfmb) šŸ§€Removed cheesing the aim cone. Now the size of the cone doesn't change over distance. (nyanarchist, CaptKufy777, therewolfmb) [u]QoL[/u] šŸ”Icons above units now scale with zoom. (SwfDelicious, Kirrim) āŒØļøAdded keybind to remove UI from the screen when taking screenshots and thumbnails. (JDee) āœØVarious UX and UI improvements -- too many to list! (SwfDelicious, Billy Lee, raynecloud, CaptKufy777, James) šŸŽ„Camera will now follow thrown enemy grenades. (arth) [u]Bugs[/u] šŸ›Fixed major bug where moving units simultaneously would sometimes eat your AP without doing anything. (Warclops) šŸ›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) šŸ›Fixed bug preventing Hunter trait from working with melee. (PressureLine) šŸ›Fixed various other bugs. - Yuji (Manhole)
