Mars Saga on the Commodore 64 is a sci-fi party-based RPG where you lead a small squad across a colonized Mars to investigate a dangerous mystery threatening the planet’s settlements. You recruit allies, upgrade gear, and tackle turn-based battles while traveling between towns, outposts, and hostile zones that gradually open up as the story escalates. It’s a neat change of pace from fantasy-heavy CRPGs of the era—more pulp space-adventure than epic myth—focused on steady character growth and a classic “small team vs. big unfolding danger” plot.
