Our take on Mars Colonization
Rather than centering on exploration or combat, this game frames its Mars setting around preparing a place for a team to live. Ore collection and energy production form the stated settlement work, with the goal of making the environment ready for others to arrive.
What is Mars Colonization?
Mars Colonization is a simulation about a team adapting to conditions on Mars.
After landing, the main character and the team work to expand human settlement by developing an environment where they can live. The player collects ores for production and builds energy production stations as part of that work. Team support is also a feature, while the settlement continues to evolve. The game frames this as preparation for others to join the team: people are waiting to hear when they can come. Its focus is on collecting resources, producing energy, and developing a living environment on the planet.
