Citizens: On Mars — Prologue is a game where you need to think and plan so that all stations work efficiently. This version of the game has basic mechanics, but it is shorter than the full version.   Despite the fact that the game ends quickly, I liked it. I recommend you try it!

Pretty fun short game. On the official version I see people complaining about it being misleading, and a puzzle game and not a city builder. However, they could have played this first, which is like the trial or alpha, and understood the concept of the game, meaning that you can know what this game is about. It seems like its very limited and in development, so I probably wont buy it. But if this is your type or you like these kinds of games I would recommend buying it when it is complete.

I would rate this game a fail. While the game is trivial in concept, the problem is that the interface is not intuitive, none of the commands for building are explained, and none of the rules for building are explained. So yes the game functions; but no it is not playable. The developers need to add a tutorial and explain the game mechanics for it to be a playable game. I would wait for at least the next release before playing this game any further.
Not recommended Nov 25, 2024
No thanks. I don't enjoy playing a tutorial where you have to figure things out on your own... that's reserved for the main game.

It's fun, it's just not my cup of tea.
