About the Game

RD Mars is a top-down shooter where you play as an AI reconstruction of a once-great inventor, Felix Darwins. Explore the laboratory, and learn of his rise and downfall. RD Mars has a series of mechanical innovations making the genre like you've never seen before. RD Mars is a game that challenges traditional conceptions of what video games are creatively through an uncompromising artistic vision and subversion of traditional narrative.


Features:
  • A strong, character-driven story that explores the human condition.
  • A unique parry-based combat loop with a focus on the fluidity of play.
  • Mystery and intrigue that drives players to uncover the secrets of this world.

RD Mars analyzes the pitfalls of this inventor’s mind while you explore both the lab, but also Mars himself.
