Surviving Mars

The final frontier is space. Mars has always been the go-to location when it comes to imaging where the next homeworld would be when, god forbid, Earth meets with its untimely demise. But the dangerous world isn't exactly welcoming to humans. With no oxygen, freezing temperatures, and bleak landscapes, settling down and making it your home brings obstacles. And it is exactly what you must strive for in Surviving Mars. Taking up residence on the dusty red planet, you work to set up a sustainable colony, and - in case the name wasn’t a dead giveaway - work to ensure it survives.

You can enhance your chances of survival by using drones to explore the unexplored terrains of the alien world and investing in research & development. Every colonist has their own personality with their own set of skills and weaknesses, which can either exacerbate or alleviate your difficulties. The retro-futuristic vibes of the domes you build make Mars look more stylish than it has ever been. With some careful planning, you can develop a flourishing colony that will expand throughout the alien continent.
