Mars Invasion is a real-time base defense strategy game on the red planet. Swarms of alien insects crawl out of the sand, and you need a base that can hold. Build power plants and miners to fund your defenses, raise walls and turrets, train squads, and research new technology. Then go on the offensive: scout the dark map, find every nest, and burn them down. Eight stages take you from a quiet training zone to a brutal final assault, unlocking laser towers, cannons, and demolition troops along the way.
How to play
- Build power plants and miners to get your economy running.
- Place walls with turrets behind them to protect the base.
- Train squads and research upgrades.
- Scout the map and destroy every alien nest to win the stage.

Tips
- Keep the power plant protected. If it goes down, your turrets do too.
- Put turrets behind walls, not in front of them, so the walls soak up damage.
- Scout early so you know where nests are before you send squads out.
