    Earth vs Mars doesn’t have a fresh take on familiar tactics, but it gets all the basics right, is constantly pleasant to play, and offers good value for little money.

    Earth vs Mars delivers direct, simple strategy, becoming more varied and strategic in its latter half thanks to the unique Fusiotron mechanic for creating mutant soldiers. However, it's hindered by a poorly designed difficulty curve and a slow start. The story is weak and fails to be comedic, with the game ultimately innovating little despite being an experimental Relic title.

    EARTH VS MARS is a solid strategy game. But that’s mostly it. It doesn’t add any interesting characteristics that we haven’t seen before, and it takes few risks with its gameplay. After a while, I did find myself wanting to play a different strategy game, one that really makes me think and one that doesn’t take an absurd amount of time to show the damage being committed to enemy combatants. In the end, Earth VS MARS doesn’t do much wrong; on a different side of the same coin, it doesn’t do too much great either to separate itself from an ever-competitive genre.
