Relic Entertainment produced their own Advance Wars-like strategy game with Earth vs Mars from a smaller team, and now it is updated to be Steam Deck Verified.
Originally released in October 2025, with the Steam Deck and content update launching last week. The developers highlight that for the Steam Deck it has been fully optimised to perform well and for the UI to look good on the smaller screen too.
Alongside Steam Deck Verified status, the 1.2.0 Update expands Earth vs Mars with new content that adds variety, challenge, and replayability including these highlights:
Three new Splice-O-Tron creatures, including the Red Panda, the Beaver and the Scoprion. These creatures introduce fresh hybrid unit combinations and tactical options.
Nine new commander passives, encouraging distinct playstyles and long-term strategic planning.
Two high-stakes modes – Brutal and Permadeath – designed for players looking for a more challenging campaign experience.
