The game combines base building, resource management, micromanagement and base defense within a thrilling single player campaign.

The story takes place in 2065 when Humanity prepares itself for the colonization of Mars. The early history of the red planet, however, holds some mysterious surprises. There is already life on Mars – (un)dead life. The player guides his crew through a breathtaking campaign to solve the mystery of the undead. Well-thought-out base building and skillful resource management are the key to fending off zombie attacks. The game challenges the players creativity and each level demands new tactical approaches. It is up to the player to make quick and clear decisions, to limit the spread of these creatures. This is the only way for him and his crew to get through the mission safely.
