DSOGaming – Mars: War Logs – First Hour Walkthrough

Mars War Logs
We’ve been getting lately a lot of indie titles, as well as titles that are not pushing the graphical or tech boundaries of the PC platform. Naturally, a Performance Analysis on such titles would be a waste of time, however we really want to feature most – if not all – of these games. Therefore, we’re kicking off a new column today. For all indie and low-budget titles we get, we’ll be posting the first hour walkthrough. This will be enough to give you an idea of the game.
