Roy continues to make his way through Mars' wastelands. In these
5 new screenshots, we invite you to follow him along his journey
through the cyberpunk universe of Mars War Logs, the new RPG from
Spiders Studio.
This leg of his trip leads him to Shadowlair. The capital city
of Aurora--the fledgling water company that emerged quite quickly
thanks to its near-endless supply of Technomants--is not as
welcoming as it had been in the past. Roy's former home is now a
hostile land, fallen under the control of these mysterious
Technomants.
Hunted, Roy will have to fight once again. He can count on the
help of various companions, Innocence being one of them. Innocence
is the young prisoner of war that helped him escape the Abundance
work camp and will be Roy's first follower. He'll meet many more
interesting people during his quest and some of them might even
embrace his cause...that is, if he manages to persuade them!
Mars War Logs plunges you into a thrilling cyberpunk RPG on the
Red Planet. You will develop Roy and his combat style by choosing
from dozens of skills and perks. Pick from pure combat, stealth and
trickery, or fierce Technomancer powers. The choice is yours! The
real-time combat system requires both reflexes and tactics while
you battle fearsome opponents and Mars' most terrifying creatures
in dynamic combat. The crafting system lets you create and modify
equipment to maintain an edge over your enemies. Dialogue choices
as well as your actions will influence the destiny of everyone Roy
crosses paths with...and perhaps the fate of all the colonies on
Mars. Mars War Logs will be released in Spring 2013 on Xbox
LIVE®, PlayStation®Network and PC.
