Key Features

  • Space Program Campaign Chapter 1: Robotics Campaign
    Explore the Red Planet from the perspective of a science-driven space agency. Command rovers, landers, or probes, over a distance of hundreds of millions of kilometers - and collect important scientific data about Mars. Research new technologies to gain new equipment.
  • Space Program Campaign Chapter 2: Manned Mission Story Campaign
    Take on the role of astronaut Mark Willis, one of the crew members in the first manned mission to Mars. When things go wrong during the descent into Mars’ atmosphere, and the connection with Earth is lost, the crew is declared missing in action. However, there’s one survivor: you.

  • Real Life Locations
    Travel across a vast, unforgiving Martian terrain with locations based on actual satellite data from famous locations such as Victoria, Gale, and Cydonia Crater.

I love the concept, I love the feel... they almost had it. The problem is, it's got the Bohemia Bugginess. There are a lot of decisions they made that are very questionable, such as the fact that canisters don't snap in place when you load them, they remain fully simulated and the physics sim will ruin you at times when it freaks out. It's just a lot of annoyances that through no fault of your own, things just blow up in your face.

This game had so much potential. Still a broken mess with random crashes.
