All through historical past, many works of science fiction have positioned the planet because the setting for epic adventures in books, movies and, after all, video video games.
And it’s exactly all of those references, spanning 40 years, for the reason that core of our growth staff is comprised of 80s children (I’m nearly 50 myself!), which have set the tone, theme and style for the sport Mars 2120, out at the moment.
In Mars 2120 you’ll face an journey that tries to carry again the nostalgia of the motion and science fiction movies of the 80s and 90s, in addition to a loving homage to the style often known as metroidvania, a mixture of RPG components, platforming and non-linear exploration.

All that point could seem to be rather a lot to you, however for us it additionally represented an enormous step ahead. For the primary time, we confronted a undertaking 4 instances greater than some other earlier than, as you do in a recreation that places you in entrance of nice challenges, whereas studying and experiencing a brand new growth expertise with which we weren’t utterly unfamiliar.
Step into the footwear of Sergeant Anna “13” Charlotte and traverse situations paying homage to the planet seen in “Whole Recall”, really feel the worry of dealing with gigantic enemies like Ellen Ripley did with the queen of the xenomorphs in “Alien”, throw punches like Arnold Schwarzenegger did in his basic motion movies (Sure! Mars 2120 has hand-to-hand fight!) and really feel the abandonment and uncertainty of being misplaced in area just like the character of Willis Davidge (Dennis Quaid) felt within the 1985 film “Enemy Mine”.
I believe you get the message right here. Now we have taken every part that amused us once we had been younger and introduced it again particularly for you, within the type of a recreation. As a result of we would like you to have enjoyable with every part that sparked our want to make leisure our job – video games! So I’m not exaggerating once I say Mars 2120 is a dream we now have been constructing since we had been children.
