We tell you who should skip it, too.
Play it if you…
Good fit- Players who want farming set within a Mars colonization expedition
- Exploration fans who also want crafting and resource gathering
- Players who prefer colony activities alongside crop cultivation
Skip it if you…
Saves you a refund- Players seeking a narrowly focused farming game may find the exploration, crafting, cooking, rover races, and rocket building too broad.
- Players looking for a fast-paced action game may find the emphasis on soil improvement, crop production, and colony tasks too deliberate.
- Players seeking a jigsaw puzzle may prefer Fantasy Girl instead.
Our take on Mars Base
Farming games commonly keep cultivation at the center of a homestead. This one places crop production inside a Martian colony and combines it with expeditions, colonist tasks, rover races, cooking, and rocket building.
What is Mars Base?
Take the role of a botanist on a Mars expedition and transform poisonous, lifeless ground into productive farmland for the settlement.
Raise multiple kinds of crops, cook provisions, and improve the colony’s food supply. The base contains greenhouses, workshops, laboratories, photovoltaic generators, and movable planters that support varied layouts. Speak with expedition members, discover their backgrounds, and lend a hand with their work as additional settlers arrive once every two Earth years. Venture across the surface, through dust storms, caverns, and subterranean areas to gather materials for equipment and necessities. In free time, prepare dishes from harvested ingredients, compete in rover races, construct rockets, and personalize a residence. Self-operating machines can handle some farming duties.
