Player takes on the role of Roy Temperance, recently taken prisoner by the corporation Abundance.
As Roy the player must navigate through the on-going struggle on Mars between feuding companies for the control of the most important resource on Mars after the cataclysm: water.
As he makes his way through this struggle he must make several important choices that will not only define himself, but define the future of Mars as well.
The gameplay consists of a tactical real-time combat system similar to that of the developer's previous role-playing game Of Orcs and Men that lets you tailor the way you fight your foes by choosing to emphasize melee, ranged combat, stealth or perhaps the powerful Technomants powers.
The game also features recruitable companions and a system for crafting armor and weapons.
About Sega Dreamcast
Sega's final console, the Dreamcast (1998/1999), was ahead of its time with built-in internet connectivity and an influential library, but a short commercial lifespan cut its game catalog short. That abrupt end means Dreamcast print runs were smaller across the board than a longer-lived console would have had, and it's now one of the more actively collected fifth/sixth-generation systems specifically because of that scarcity.
Gamevaro tracks Mars Matrix for Sega Dreamcast with separate market values for loose, complete-in-box (CIB) and factory-sealed copies, sourced from real eBay sales. Prices also vary by region — PAL, NTSC-U and NTSC-J releases of the same game often sell for different amounts due to print run sizes and regional collector demand.
Adding Mars Matrix to a Gamevaro collection takes seconds — search by title or scan the box barcode, and the app fills in cover art, release details and current pricing automatically. This DC release dates back to 2000.
