Mars 2120: How a Veteran Indie Team Turned their 90s Dream into Martian Reality

Experience the Adventure of Mars 2120

For those of us who grew up playing video games and immersing ourselves in exciting adventures, Mars has always held a special allure and sense of mystery. The planet has served as the backdrop for countless epic tales in science fiction literature, movies, and of course, video games.

With a team of developers who are 80s kids at heart (I’m nearly 50 myself!), we drew inspiration from over four decades of references to create the theme, tone, and genre for our latest game, Mars 2120, which is now available for play.

A Blast from the Past

Mars 2120 invites players to embark on an adventure that pays homage to the action and science fiction films of the 80s and 90s. This game follows the metroidvania genre, blending RPG elements with platforming and non-linear exploration. In a world centered on space exploration and scientific curiosity, this game encourages players to delve into the unknown and make incredible discoveries about our universe.

The Journey to Mars 2120

Creating Mars 2120 was a labor of love that spanned nearly five years. Our small team dedicated countless hours to crafting a game that captures the essence of our favorite childhood movies and games. With each playthrough, players will uncover a rich narrative that reflects our passion for entertainment and storytelling.

In Mars 2120, players take on the role of Sergeant Anna “Thirteen” Charlotte as she navigates Mars’ challenging landscapes. Drawing inspiration from iconic characters like Ellen Ripley and Arnold Schwarzenegger, this game offers hand-to-hand combat and heart-pounding moments reminiscent of classic action films.

A Dream Come True

At its core, Mars 2120 is a culmination of our childhood dreams and aspirations. We aimed to create a game that captures the essence of the games that shaped us and bring that nostalgia to a new generation of players. This game is not just a piece of entertainment; it’s a reflection of our lives and a journey we want to share with you.
