Mars War Logs trailer shows off combat, skills

Spiders Studio has unveiled the latest trailer for their upcoming cyberpunk RPG game, Mars: War Logs. The two and a half minute video is a true survival guide, explaining in detail the combat system of Mars and the possibilities it opens to the player.

Mars is an hostile planet, where many dangers lurk. Mutants, fanatical survivors, fearsome native creatures and huge, dozens of meters-long creatures are some of the dangerous enemies you will have to face, in dynamic and intense battles.

To vanquish your opponents, you will have at your disposal a large choice of skills; Melee or ranged attacks, furtivity or Technomant arts. As a true RPG, Mars will let you distribute earned experience points (gained through combat or completed quests) in 3 skill trees, which are unveiled in the video. Players will then be able to specialize, for example in melee or ranged combat.

So precious and rare on Mars, weapons will give you an edge over your opponents: find and scavenge items and components, in order to improve your weapons and armors thanks to the craft system of the game. Finally, today's video also shows some of the powerful Technomants' powers. Choosing this path will let you unleash energy waves, lightning, or create energy shields and electrify your weapons to make them even more lethal.

Mars War Logs will be released in Spring 2013 on Xbox LIVE, PlayStation Network and PC.
