Mars: War Logs is a 3rd person action RPG that takes the player into a futuristic and decadent universe, with a strong storyline where each choice is crucial.

Using the same universe as our previous project, we rewrote a story, adapted to a "short" format for digital, and came up with new characters. We also re-thought the gameplay to make it solidly RPG, with a variety of quests, dynamic and tactical combat, varied skill trees, multiple-choice dialog and a complex craft system.

Mars: War Logs is therefore a "short story" in the Mars universe that offers complete and solid gameplay with high replay value.

"Over a century after the catastrophe that shook Mars and threw its colonists into chaos, power is now shared between the different companies distributing the arid planet's most precious asset: water. The conservative and somewhat archaic Abundance thus struggles to maintain its influence in the face of Aurora, a young guild whose power stems from their plethora of Technomancers, people capable of focusing their energy in Terran artefacts to create devastating “magical” effects.

Our story begins in the middle of these struggles, when a young prisoner of Abundance meets Roy, a cynical an unwavering man, and decides to keep a war diary..."
Take on the role of Roy Temperance, a multi-talented renegade, and surround yourself with companions with real personalities.
Choose from the numerous dialog possibilities and influence the destiny of your people.
Personalize your fighting style through a dynamic and developed combat system, for entirely different approaches depending on the choices you make.
Personalize your development by choosing from dozens of skills and numerous additional perks!
Modify and create your own equipment with our craft system.






It remains to be seen whether this game will be good or shit but at least it doesn't have banal shit boring medieval fantasy setting. It is a good start.
Overall:
Post-apo sci-fi setting = Awesome.
Real-time combat = meh.

No, if you watch the video, you'll see it's about Martian timber aliens that engage in war with Earth.

I hate these fucking hollywood wannabe trailers. Anyway, looks like Mass Effect with a better premise and a slightly better aesthetic. Mars Effect.

The only true Mars game was the classic: Movement on Mars.

Brofists by all who played this gem among gems back in the day when IBM made pcs and Microsoft was a garage operation.

Steve gets a Kidney but I don't even get a tag.
Nah, I'm one of those weird people on the 'dex who don't have a preference for TB or RT but likes both equally, as long as the implementation is good.

New trailer :

http://www.gametrailers.com/videos/e31daf/mars--war-logs-overview-trailer


Some quotes from official site:

Mars War Logs is a full RPG, and offers all the elements that define the genre. You will gain experience points during the adventure, either through combat or by carrying out quests which will allow you to level-up and develop the character you are playing in any way you want. You can define your combat style by choosing from numerous skills spread out over three talent trees: pure combat, stealth, special strikes and even stronger Technomancer powers… the choice is yours!


However, bear in mind that your character will not only develop through combat; the game is full of important dialog that will influence both the development of the game and the reactions of the NPCs (non-player characters). So there are times when you may be able to diffuse a tense situation with a few well-chosen words, avoid a fight or, conversely, provoke the other person into launching hostilities. Remember: your choices will have consequences later on in the game!


3 "classes" warrior, technomant ( cyberpunk wersion of mage ) and renegade ( stealth guy ).

Looks like deus ex like game. Game will be released in may.

Awesome sci fi cyberpunkish setting. I want play this game NOW!!

Spiders.

The game will probably have strong writing and a great story combined with linear gameplay.

Game just showed up on Steam. Knew absolutely NOTHING about it until I looked at the page, and I nearly clicked away from it but the implants on http://cdn.steampowered.com/v/gfx/a...201ea5bbdccabbcefc.1920x1080.jpg?t=1366967395 that screenshot made me go "Huh", then I saw "Action, RPG" under genre and I went "Huh!", then I saw the line "An Intense Cyberpunk Rpg On the Red Planet!" in the description and went "Hey!", and then finally I watched the trailer on Steam and heard a lot of C&C MATTERS scattered throughout the video and went "HEAVAN".

So. Uh. Anyone know anything about this? Sounds promising from that video, and a low budget small RPG theoretically could be good depending on how they try to handle it. Don't really wanna hop on the $20 price without more info but it's definitely on my Steam sale radar if nothing else.
