Choose your character for a mini adventure 
& play a story in
 the coming War for Mars. 

Built for overhead 3'rd-person action, 
with a player-view whenever you want it,
featuring beautiful music, simple gameplay,
machine guns, grenades, fireballs, lightning, force fields, poison gas, giant laser-eyed spider robots... 😏🤨 it doesn't get better than this.  

Then again, maybe it will. This game is complete, for now, but the story could continue.   


Produced in Unreal Engine 4.27 by Stephen Montague, this game includes the work of modeling, sound, & VFX artists, gathered from the darkest depths of the world (or places like Unreal Marketplace, Fiverr, and Freesound.org), carefully crafting hundreds of sounds and animations for a classic-style science fiction. I hope the story, music, & action here can take you to another world.

Intel Report 

(Proceed directly to mission via Download link.)

Jumper: species' female is larger and more powerful, as customary among spiders, while males are more numerous. Beware: your shields protect from light attacks, but much less from heavy hits.


Blue Spider: nocturnal fire-breather who prefers to keep distant but can deal plenty of pain up close.
Sneaker: ghostly creature, blended matter & energy. Cautious & defensive, but can attack quickly. May work in groups to trap prey.
Sand Monster: this territorial tunnel spider seems adapted or even immune to conventional weapons & guards its abode viciously.

Energy web spun by a spider queen mirage in order to trap an ambushed prey.

Spider Robot: elite royal guardian, solves problems for Queen and Hive alone.

Game Tips

Your force shield is not invincibility.
It takes damage and pushes enemies,
and with an upgrade, can shock.

There's a couple of extra bits in the credits. 

Beware of Blue Spiders & Sand Monsters,
whether playing the game or not.
