We tell you who should skip it, too.

- Simulation fans interested in building rockets and arranging repeated launches.

Skip it if you…
Saves you a refund- Players looking for varied activities beyond the repeated cycle of building rockets and launching payloads.
- Those seeking immediate access to interplanetary colonization rather than a progression that begins with Earth launches.
- Players looking for a military strategy game centered on combat and squad tactics.
Our take on EarthX
Its focus on company management and launch operations leaves less room for moment-to-moment piloting or combat. Progress toward Mars is framed as a later stage, so the core appeal rests on repeating the work of developing rockets and sending payloads into space.
What is EarthX?
EarthX is a spaceflight company management game focused on building and launching rockets.
Manage a company, sign contracts, construct rockets, and send payloads into space. Research new technology or increase rocket size as launch demands grow. Recover rockets for reuse and catch their fairings. The game also includes supplying the International Space Station with food, experiments, and equipment, and launching satellites to provide internet access. The vendor describes travel to other planets, establishing colonies, and terraforming Mars as later goals. The progression starts with small rockets launched from Earth and can lead toward a Mars colony.
