Fields of Mars is a top down base defense game built in Unity.
Panic strikes your Mars-based research team when, amid nuclear tensions between US and Russia, contact with Earth is lost. With Earth likely destroyed you find yourself stranded on Mars lacking the resources sustain you and your team. Play as Astronaut or Cosmonaut defending your precious resources from your savage relentless enemy, while savagely and relentlessly attempting to gain your enemy's resources. Victory will require will and ingenuity, but your training has given you the tools necessary to win.
The play field is rectangular where you own the bottom portion, your opponent owns the top portion and a central "no man's land" is owned by nobody. On the far end of each player's field is a base each player is meant to defend, and destroying the opponent's base wins the game. Each player can defend their territory by placing obstacles, and attack the opponent with units.
The Game is split into three phases: Build, Plan and Fight. The Build phase only happens once at the beginning and allows players to buy and place obstacles to defend their position. Obstacles may only be placed on a player's own side. Immediately following the build phase, the Plan phase is where players repair broken obstacles and purchase units they will use to attack. The careful planning pays off in the Fight phase where units break through obstacles and attempt to access the opponent base. The Plan and Fight phase repeat until someone wins, or the game ends in a draw.
Obstacles, repairs and units are purchased from enterprising martians using MarsBux. Each player starts with a set amount of MarsBux which they must ration throughout the game. There is no way to make MarsBux after the game starts, so spend wisely.
