John Carter: Warlord of Mars

Crowdfunding Campaign Trailer

John Carter: Warlord of Mars is a First-Person Action Game set in WWII Europe and on Barsoom (Mars).

John Carter, a US spy on the hunt for the high-profile Nazi Hans Kammler, travels across Europe near the end of WWII. Playing as Carter himself, you will head from London to Berlin, onto Owl Mountains and the Antarctic in a cat-and-mouse adventure with plenty of stealth required for survival.

Eventually catching up to your prey, in the middle of a battle, something happens and you are knocked out. When you awaken you find yourself naked and alone - somehow you are on a magnificent new world: Mars.

The wild and dangerous planet Mars is known to its natives as Barsoom.

After several adventures where you meet the fearsome Thark warrior, Tars Tarkas, and myriad other creatures, you eventually meet and fall in love with the Princess of Helium, Dejah Thoris. Her people are at war and she asks you to help, but she is subsequently kidnapped and you may be her only hope!

Barsoom is filled with a rich history, despicable creatures and different races, all fighting for dominion over ever-diminishing resources and each other!

Mars' different gravity has given you superhuman strength and agility which you must use to conquer your many enemies and become a true champion on your new home!

Edgar Rice Burroughs is famous for creating Tarzan, but he is also one of the most important science fiction authors because of his classic 1912 novel 'A Princess of Mars' which introduced the world to the character John Carter.

More than 110 years later, and after several films, comics and novels, John Carter will finally make his videogame debut and be brought to life in our new PC game John Carter: Warlord of Mars. Using the amazing UNREAL ENGINE, the grandfather of science fiction meets state-of-the-art gaming technology bringing the world's most influential interplanetary warrior to life.

AT A GLANCE

- No magic, no tiresome learning on the job, you’ll jump straight into story-based action.
- Over 12 hours of single-player gameplay with first-person shooting and third-person melee combat.
- Based in WWII at the start of the game and then onto Mars (Barsoom).
- Meet characters from the John Carter Universe.
- Meet real characters and visit real locations from WWII.
- 007 Bond author, Ian Fleming makes his video gaming debut.
- Using Epic’s Unreal Engine gives the player a rich experience.

...

In the original book, Carter was a retired Confederate solder, in the 2009 movie he was a modern-day US Army sniper, in the 2012 Disney movie he was a Yankie Veteran. For our version, we swap the 1890s Virginia Plains for 1945 Europe.

John Carter is a spy recruited by Ian Fleming (yes that Ian Fleming... see more below) to hunt down Nazi secrets and technology.

John Carter's background ticks all the boxes. He speaks German, Polish and passable French. He studied Physics and Aeronautical Engineering, and at Yale, he represented the college at football, sailing and fencing!

John joined the US army on the day Pearl Harbour was attacked and landed in the Corps of Engineers from where he was headhunted by General Groves to work in security and intelligence.

By trailers and promotional arts, it looks like a mix of metroidvania, 2D platformer and Souls-like.
Also seems to be pretty gory/violent, by the promotional arts and comments by the devs, so discretion is advised.
