I am thinking about getting this just for the characters to crossover to lnoe and the idea of a human vs zombie vs alien scenario has sparked my intrest.
Is this game as a stand alone much different than lnoe though?

it actually is, The Heroes are givin the chance to roll for power tokens to use special ability's, and the Hero decks are similar to LNOE but there alot of neat different types of weapons that you could even throw in your normal LNOE for fun.
But the main difference is the Martians. They move and fight as a pack (or individual), use a command phase board to distribute how they want to attack, so with all the minis, board peices, extra heroes, and punch outs to use on custom scenarios and cross overs, this game is well worth it. Like I said in the other post, the minis are made thicker and a touch bigger from LNOE with a better quality feel to them.
Check out the rule book on this link

Also! they have fire and crowd markers that are really cool to add to LNOE.
Thank you for the info, I'll check out the rule book. there is a good chance I'll be buying this real soon.
I have it and have yet to play it myself. Been so busy and I too have a pile of board games that have yet to be played and this is one of them. But I do agree there hasn't been much discussion on this one.
finally got my copy...uff
I love this game! And I got a actually moving Ferris Wheel with lights and everything to add to my 3D version of this much like my 3D Last Night On Earth. Can't wait to get it close to finished and then get some pics up. Just waiting on a wee babe to come so been really busy!

That's correct.
It is harder that LNoE. Although LNoE is an amazing game as well. The martian command console is a great aspect of IfOS.

I would love to play this game more, unfortunately it has similar game play to LNoE, which all my friends hate
