A Tower Defense and RTS hybrid where you defend humanity’s outposts on the Red Planet against relentless attacks, managing towers, barracks, and units.
Coming Soon!
Build
As the Red Planet’s newest security manager, it’s your job to make sure everything runs smoothly; our resources are all accounted for, and, if time allows, the people as well. Keep equipment and settlements safe, tackle any unexpected “problems”, and keep management happy, and off your back.
- Pick your towers. Hand-selected collection approved by engineers, built to handle the harsh terrains of the Red Planet
- Don’t get cocky. Towers alone won’t do it!
- Train your soldiers. Barracks turn fresh recruits into reliable troops ready to follow orders.
Command
As the Red Planet’s newest security manager, it’s your job to oversee victory on the battlefield. You’ve placed towers and trained soldiers; but now it’s up to you to give the right orders at the right time, balancing strategy with careful micromanagement.
Every decision matters, and every mistake could mean life or death.
- Command soldiers. Send your troops to any point on the terrain; they’ll follow your orders without question.
- Adapt your towers. Adjust ranges and attack priorities so each tower works at maximum efficiency.
- Use special abilities. Some towers have unique abilities that only activate when you give the command.
- Upgrade towers and barracks. With sufficient resources, upgrade to more powerful towers and barracks, giving your soldiers extra strength and capabilities.
- Upgrade material extractors. Better extractors provide higher quality materials, which you can use for upgrades or special weapons.
Survive
The Red Planet isn’t exactly friendly; and neither are its inhabitants. As the newest security manager, it’s your job to keep alien waves in check. Failing to do so could trigger the “Shutdown Protocol”, so protect the colonists lives and survive each wave until victory is secured. Every decision counts.
- Inhabitants adapt fast. Each wave makes the inhabitants of Red Planet grow stronger, faster, and smarter.
- Limited lives. Protect your colonists; if you lose them all, the mission fails.
- Multiple alien paths. Enemies can move by air, land, or underground, plan accordingly.
- Multiple ways to victory. Pick your strategy and survive the waves your way.
- Bonus for perfection. Keep all your colonists alive, and earn extra rewards… management will be impressed.
