Mars: War Logs Spiders / Focus Home Interactive 2013

This is a cyberpunk role-playing video game that features a character who can specialise in stealth, combat or 'technomancy'. It features a variety of companions and sidequests, as well as a world which reacts to the moral choices made by the player. The game is set on Mars, a century after a great upheaval. Powerful guilds battle over water, which has become a valuable resource. Two of the most powerful of these are Aurora and Abundance. The player takes on the role of Roy Temperance, an escaped prisoner of war who finds himself caught between a variety of powerful factions, and must also battle a variety of creatures created by the planet's radioactive environment. There's a variety of quests, dynamic and tactical combat, varied skill trees, multiple-choice dialog and a complex craft system. It's 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.
