What Makes Operation Ares – A Revolution on Mars! Recruit Spies, Complete Missions, & Gain Independence Stand Out
The year is 2379. Mars has been terraformed, and now its citizens can live openly on the surface. But while more people are arriving every day, a sickness festers in the heart of the new world: corruption runs rampant, and the people of Mars increasingly chafe under the yoke of Earth's control.
It's clear that something has to change, a massive shift in the future of Mars is brewing, but no one quite knows what that future will look like.
Into this power vacuum have risen several powerful factions, each with their own vision for what Mars could be. Some advocate working with the United Nations and solving Mars's problems diplomatically, others see Mars as the ultimate resource to be exploited by the growing transnational corporations of Earth, and still others envision a Martian utopia unlike anything in the history of the homeworld.
As the leader of one of Mars's most powerful factions you have the opportunity to decide the fate of an entire world. But rest assured: yours is not the only vision of a better tomorrow, and those who do not share your goals will be working to stop you at every turn.
Beginning from a single safehouse, you can recruit agents, train them, send them on missions, expand your influence into cities around the world, and transform your small operation into a global powerhouse. Then, when the time is right, begin your bid for power and try to take over Mars!
This Roleplaying game offers engaging gameplay and regular updates for mobile players.

Community Insight:
Much like the previous game in this franchise, its very enjoyable. It is relatively basic at this point but we suspect over time it will begin to be flushed out with more features.
Needs more specialties and A LOT more unit and mission slides per city.
Choose your faction and plan your strategy – compete with your friends to design the new world according to you.
They didnt want to piggyback this was a great app but the only thing we were able to see was a little bit of a map and lots of choices and not enough visual effects and the app just got us to go through our life again because it was so much better than anything else we ever had to do with it and it was fun to play with our friends and family and it would get us excited for more people to come and see us and we have a good time. We dont know how much money to get you guys to come back to the new one so Ill be there next time you come in and Ill be there for sure. Hey sorry to say we were going on our way to a meeting but Im not sure if you have time for you to come and see you or something else.
A lot of it seems to be copied from Terra Genesis.
We love this game, but it could be more, such as better home screen allowing you to delete games, custom city names, random of events from earth that can help and hurt you. Another thing you could add is a war setting instead of spies or secret war why not an actually war? Like building armies and battling for major and minor cities, or combine the two into an interesting game. Well thats our rant and ideas but we would like a game like this for earth in this time line, like the nationalist rising up like the free sons, the UN trying to become a world government, and some corporation or cult making the world bigger and adding more spies and missions.
A sound still plays on mute even though we have the sound on our iPad mute. Very disappointing.
Needs a way to turn off the sound.
We didn't really expect much from this game, we got it from Reddit and we decided to try it out. First we were turned off because of the timers and microtransactions, but as we started playing through multiple games, we noticed these 'favors' (This games equivalent to gems in Clash of Clans), restart after each game which is SO useful like you wouldn't believe. After a day or so playing the game we can say we're thoroughly hooked, it's like if Clash of Clans and the Avenger parts of XCOM 2 had a baby. We'll recommend this game to all of our friends.
