Tip: Before you hit ‘play’, you might want to turn on the captions as Jehanne Rousseau (CEO of Spiders Studio) has a pretty thick French accent

Spiders is crafting an incredibly full and fleshed out world with Mars War Logs. The game definitely has plenty of action, but the developers are going heavy on the role-playing as with an in-game system that has your choices and actions having big league effects on the world around you.

After giving us a few details about the setting of this game that presents the Red Planet as we have never seen it before, we learn why Mars War Logs is a fully-fledged RPG, in which player choices leave their mark on the story and its unfolding. Spiders Studio really wanted to offer total freedom to the players who will have to face the consequences of their decisions through dialogues, through choosing their skills, with their behaviour toward their companions, or even through the equipment and upgrades they decide to craft. Players will be forced to take responsibility for their actions: for example, slaying human opponents after a battle will be an advantagous source of income… but will also make many characters wary of you!

The ambitious Mars War Logs hits the PC in May and will debut on Xbox Live and the PSN sometime soon.
