M.A.R.S.
Marine Alien Recovery Squad

Plot:

Marine Alien Recovery Squad or M.A.R.S. is a government organization that extracts alien artifacts.
You will play as an anonymous private on his first mission to Mars with his new squad. The details of the mission was sketchy but the mission itself was simple: grab the alien artifact from the scientists holding the artifact on detention and bring it back to M.A.R.S. headquarters ASAP.
But will it go according to plan?

Features:

M.A.R.S is an RPG campaign that is different to others. Instead of right-clicking on the enemy and letting your hero attack the enemy, M.A.R.S forces you to evade enemy projectiles and rely on your abilities rather than your normal attack to finish enemies off making a much more fast-paced experience that will keep you at the edge of your seat.

Instead of your hero levelling up in the normal way, M.A.R.S. uses a different way to gain hero abilities. In order to gain new abilities, you must find them in various points in the map, making scavenging more important. Also, rather than enemies dropping items, you have to find metal and credits in order to craft your own set of weapons and items.



Some else stuff about map:
This campaign is quite hard so save often. At some points, a pop-up message will remind you to save your game. Also, there are some puzzles in the game but they are not too hard since the arcane runes are tips to help you in the puzzle.

As much as I love the map's story, the terrain just won't do it.
Everything else is modern looking, except for the terrain, just go ahead and import dozens of custom models, it's singleplayer anyway.

I was testing this campaign for rejection/approval, but there is a critical problem I have encountered that will need to be fixxed before anything can be done on the rating.

While playing the first mission I get the radio static sound, and a pinging of a unit on the map. Clearly, Im supposed to get some sort of transmission, but no text shows up. This problem needs to be corrected before any action can be taken towards its rating. After all, campaigns are played for their story.

The story is really good, the enviroment and the music were a good choice, it makes it feel like a different campaign.

The only bad thing about this campaign is the terrain and the models, if only OP would've inserted more custom models for the aliens and the terrain, as well as a better terrain design, it could be a 5/5 campaign, who knows, maybe it would've been a classic campaign.

Too bad that seems like the creator left the site years ago.
