About Super Motherload

✦ AI summary

Dig deep into Mars as a Soviet or American miner in this 1-4 player co-op adventure set during an alternate Cold War, where you'll uncover a conspiracy while upgrading your pod and solving explosive puzzles. With a branching storyline by acclaimed comic writer Kurtis Wiebe, procedurally-generated worlds that shift each playthrough, and the classic Motherload bundled free, Super Motherload blends mining progression with narrative twists and competitive camaraderie.

Set on Mars in an alternate Cold-War era, Super Motherload is a 1 to 4-player couch co-op digging adventure with storyline by Image Comics' Kurtis Wiebe, a fully voiced cast of Soviet and American characters, and a procedurally-generated world that changes each time you play. Purchase powerful upgrades and supplies for your mining pod as you progress and prosper, as well as rare Specials Abilities with random availability.

You, the player, work for Solarus Corporation, an inter-planetary mining operation that has developed the infrastructure needed to harvest the precious resources of Mars to meet demand back on Earth. Soon after being dropped on Mars, you begin to discover that things aren't quite as they seem.

✦ AI summary

Super Motherload is a nostalgic sequel that improves upon the classic Miniclip original with better graphics and some gameplay refinements, and players appreciate that both versions are included in one download. The main complaint is that the game is quite short and feels like it could have offered more depth with additional planets, story content, and extended gameplay loops. Players generally recommend picking it up on sale rather than at full price, though some note minor frustrations like the lack of manual save functionality.

It's a good game i cant stop playing, but i wish there was a way to initiate a manual save before i quit the game. I like it and i like it comes with the old goldium edition too.
