Our Vision
Interstellar Marines is all about evolving the FPS recipe with all the inspirations we’ve assimilated since the birth of the genre. The goal is a progressive step forward driven by our compulsive interest in science fiction, role-playing, military realism, and respect for first person immersion.
The core DNA of Interstellar Marines is inspired by three very specific first person experiences, which have all significantly helped evolve Interstellar Marines into the game concept it is today.
Half-life (1998 / Valve Software)
System Shock 2 (1999 / Irrational Games)
Rainbow Six 3: Raven Shield (2003 / Ubisoft)
