About Surviving Mars

✦ AI summary

Build and manage humanity's first Mars colony while keeping your colonists alive through resource management, research, and smart infrastructure planning. Uncover mysterious secrets hidden across the Red Planet while balancing survival challenges with the unique personalities and quirks of your individual colonists.

Colonize Mars and discover her secrets, with minimal casualties.



Welcome Home! The time has come to stake your claim on the Red Planet and build the first functioning human colonies on Mars! All you need are supplies, oxygen, decades of training, experience with sandstorms, and a can-do attitude to discover the purpose of those weird black cubes that appeared out of nowhere. With a bit of sprucing up, this place is going to be awesome!

Surviving Mars is a sci-fi city builder all about colonizing Mars and surviving the process. Choose a space agency for resources and financial support before determining a location for your colony. Build domes and infrastructure, research new possibilities and utilize drones to unlock more elaborate ways to shape and expand your settlement. Cultivate your own food, mine minerals or just relax by the bar after a hard day’s work. Most important of all, though, is keeping your colonists alive. Not an easy task on a strange new planet.

There will be challenges to overcome. Execute your strategy and improve your colony’s chances of survival while unlocking the mysteries of this alien world. Are you ready? Mars is waiting for you.

Main Features:
Building on a planet not fit for human life challenges you to build a smart, functional colony. Bad planning isn’t about traffic jams, it’s about survival of your colonists. You really don’t want rolling blackouts in a city constructed in a place without oxygen.
Each colonist is a unique individual with problems and strengths that influence the needs and behavior of the other colonists. Things can get really interesting if your chief scientists develops alcoholism after one too many long nights in the lab.
Retro-futuristic super structures housing colonists, factories and commercial buildings with their own “neighborhood personality.” Create colonies that value science over everything else, while tired workers drink their pay away at a local bar, or attempt a utopia among the stars.
Inspired by the classic sci-fi of Asimov and Clarke, Surviving Mars holds many secrets. During each playthrough players may encounter one of Mars’ individually crafted mysteries. Uncovering these secrets might bring your colony great fortune, or terrible ruin. What is that sphere that manifested itself outside colony HUB B, and is it friendly?
Combine static and random research through experimentation, which allows for a different experience for each journey through the game. Attain new scientific breakthroughs by exploring the uncharted terrain of Mars's surface.
A sleek, modern take on the bright futurism of the 1960s. A time of exploration and adventure.
Craft your own fantastic buildings, parks or even a mystery to share through Surviving Mars’s extensive and convenient modding tools. Share your finest creations with the community to build the perfect society.

Paradox Interactive not only killed Stranded: Alien Dawn, but also Surviving Mars while still keeping its DLC up for sale. Classic Paradox, ruining every game it touches!

Well... I WAS going to come back and get the poorly recieved underground DLC just so I could have the full collection... GUESS NOT.

Steam should refund every copy of this game. What Paradox did is a blatant money grab. They should have just put out an update for the relaunched content and then keep making DLCs

Would not recommend since they have replaced the original game with a new one. No DLCs to buy

this is the most mid or 7/10 game i've ever played. everything works, but the game moves at a glacial pace with not a lot of excitement. the UI is functional, but not easy to use like other games in the genre. i'd give it a slight recommend because it is fun to terraform the planet. but, because of the scummy practice for the remaster, this is an easy not recommended. don't support paradox, even though you can't get this version anyway.

I sincerely hope and pray to any and all available gods that are, or ever have been, that this move bankrupts this money grubbing stinking pile of a company wow. I wish I could un-buy this game. I will never buy anything associated with Paradox again. This is what happens when you turn all the billionaires loose with no rules. This is nauseatingly wrong. I cant figure out how to make a middle finger emoji, or if you even can. But the sentiment is wholeheartedly there and so extremely sincere. Eff you Paradox. Eff. You.

Games like Remember Me, picked for the Memory Remix rather than the neon: minds you can break into, a vertical city to climb, and combos you build yourself.

Games like Noita, where the physics is the real enemy

Games like Noita for the two things it really does: spells you assemble yourself, and a simulated world that takes nobody's side. Seven picks, from a slugcat to a dwarf fortress.

Tormented Souls price: a horror game that stopped moving

The Tormented Souls price has not budged in six weeks of our readings. What that means for buying it, and whether the 2025 sequel is the better purchase instead.
