Earth vs Mars: A Disappointing Turn in Strategy
Relic's Earth vs Mars attempts a bold shift to turn-based tactics, but it feels like a misstep for the studio. The premise of splicing soldiers with animal traits is intriguing, yet the execution is lackluster. The UI feels like a placeholder, and the animations are basic at best, detracting from the overall experience. - Missions lack depth and creativity, often devolving into predictable patterns. - The promised tactical depth fails to materialize, leaving players with a sense of familiarity rather than innovation. While the Splice-O-Tron offers some fun customization, it cannot compensate for the game's overall mediocrity. As a fan of Relic's legacy, the game feels too far removed from what made their titles great. In conclusion, Earth vs Mars may entertain briefly, but it lacks the compelling strategy that fans expect from Relic.
