Fun little game that you can enjoy if you get it on sale but I can't recommend this for the full price.

Oct. 2024

Beautifully designed game! Incredible visuals, gripping game play, nice variety of maps and tactics to win. And it really helps to be able to adjust zombie types and numbers and your own beginning resources. I'm hooked all over again! Great team of developers.

Aug. 2024

Great concept BUT it forces you to play the campaign map EXACTLY in the way the map was conceived to be played. You can't try your own tactics but only retry the map until you figure out how the devs thought the map should be beaten. The plus side are the community maps.

April 2024

Fun game that needs both strategy and planning to win on higher difficulties. If you like tower defence and rts games this may be for you. Its a blend of the two genres with focus on td.

MarZ: Tactical Base Defense - Pros and Cons Pros: Compelling Campaign: MarZ offers a gripping 20-mission story campaign, providing players with an engaging narrative and alternate endings as they battle against the undead hordes on Mars. Diverse Game Modes: The inclusion of Skirmish and Outbreak modes adds variety to the gameplay, allowing players to create customized procedurally-generated skirmishes or face an intense, immense zombie horde in Outbreak mode. Marsform Map Editor: The Marsform map editor enhances replayability by giving players the ability to create and share custom maps through Steam Workshop. This feature adds a layer of creativity and community engagement to the game. Research and Upgrade System: The game offers a deep strategic layer with a research and upgrade system. Players can construct a power grid, manage resources, and unlock a variety of weapons and perks to enhance their defenses. Twitch Integration: Twitch Mode adds a unique and interactive element, allowing viewers to support or sabotage streamers' efforts in real-time. This integration enhances the streaming experience and offers an additional layer of entertainment. Cons: Learning Curve: The complexity of managing resources, researching upgrades, and coordinating defenses might pose a steep learning curve for some players, potentially leading to a challenging initial experience. Graphics Quality: While functional, the game's graphics may not be as polished as some other titles in the genre. Players looking for cutting-edge visuals may find MarZ slightly lacking in this department. Limited Enemy Variety: The undead horde, while menacing, may lack the diversity of enemy types that some players seek, potentially leading to a somewhat repetitive combat experience over extended play sessions. Difficulty Adjustments: Although the game boasts reworked balancing, players looking for an even more granular adjustment of difficulty levels may find the current options still leaving them wanting more customization. In summary, MarZ: Tactical Base Defense offers a compelling mix of strategy, tower defense, and creative gameplay with its map editor. While some aspects might present a challenge to newcomers, the diverse game modes, Twitch integration, and ongoing support make it a standout title for fans of the genre. The journey to uncover the secrets of Mars provides an engaging experience, and the Marsform map editor ensures that players can continue enjoying the game's content long after completing the main campaign.
