Description
Mars Commando - old school style tower defense game, recruit team members, choose various units with different skills, upgrade units using skill tree, use unique skills, upgrade skills, build barricades and place mines to strategically deflect approaching waves of hostile alien population.
History
In the year 2049, all the water on Earth has been depleted. The nearest source of the good stuff is our friendly neighborhood Mars. So... let's go get it, shall we? Mars Commando is a defense game that emphasizes unit placement and strategy over swarms of soldiers, allowing you to earn the satisfaction of eradicating thousands of aliens with half a dozen of your own troops. Wave, recruit, wave, recruit. That's the pattern you'll fall into once Mars Commando begins. Each stage features a dozen or so waves of aliens, marching in from the right like there's a sale on gigantic contact lenses. The only thing between your home base and them are a few rocks, your soldiers, and some barricades, the latter two of which you have to pay for and deploy yourself. Click one of the four units, then click "recruit" to pay and add them to your roster. Drag them on the map to set them in the best position, watching where their line of fire sits so you can get maximum coverage. Repeat until your team is full (or until you're out of cash), then head over to purchase barricades, explosives, or add-ons that offer temporary boosts. Afterwards, let the wave begin!

Selected Articles
- "When you barely have the funds to replace your defenses between attacks, are down to your last three wounded soldiers, and can only afford a single mine with which to fend off a huge swarm of Martians waiting to crush your water silo, you’ll properly appreciate just how tense and challenging a game of Mars Commando can be."
- Konstantinos Dimopoulos, Rock Paper Shotgun - "Simple but challenging and with a strong focus on building basic strategies. Mars Commando is a smart defense game that will quietly invite your inner general to come out and kick some native alien tail!"
- JohnB, Jayisgames.com - "Mars Commando - Retro style tower defence-like is hard as nails!"
