Mars: War Logs coming to XBLA, PSN and PC in 2013

Of Orcs and Men co-developer Spiders is sending your ass to the red planet. In the vague future of 2013, the developer will release Mars: War Logs – a cyberpunk action-RPG for Xbox Live Arcade, PlayStation Network, and PC.

Despite our wild imagination, the Silk Engine powered-Mars: War Logs isn’t a futuristic reboot of that one Ren & Stimpy commercial parody, nor is it a Twin Peaks character simulator in space. “Mars: War Logs offers a wide variety of quests, dynamic tactical combat, and extensive character specialization through different skill trees and a complete craft system,” a press release from publisher Focus Home Interactive revealed.

Mars: War Logs takes players to the red planet “over a century after the catastrophe that threw the planet and its colonists into chaos.” In the game, companies are warring over the limited supply of water found on the arid planet’s landscape.

As protagonist Roy Temperance, players can customize their combat style by selecting from “dozens of skills and perks,” fighting in real-time against the creatures on Mars. Our suspicion is that the final boss will take the highly-evolved form of NASA’s Curiosity rover.

More details on the game, including an outline of features, can be found in the press release after the break.Continue reading Mars: War Logs coming to XBLA, PSN and PC in 2013Mars: War Logs coming to XBLA, PSN and PC in 2013 originally appeared on Joystiq on Thu, 16 Aug 2012 21:00:00 EST.
