Is Mars First Logistics worth it for you?
We tell you who should skip it, too.
Play it if you…
Good fit- Players who enjoy building custom vehicles and solving transport problems through mechanical design
- Simulation fans who want an open-world Mars setting with physics-driven cargo
- Small groups seeking online co-op for up to 3 friends
Skip it if you…
Saves you a refund- Players seeking a fixed vehicle design or a tightly scripted delivery sequence may find the construction and experimentation too open-ended
- Those wanting combat, character progression, or conventional mission-focused action may find the cargo and infrastructure loop narrow
- Players looking for local multiplayer rather than solo play or online co-op may not find the listed modes suitable
Our take on Mars First Logistics
The defining detail is the cargo itself: each delivery uses awkward loads with different physical behaviors, so rover designs must account for weight, fragility, bounce, or buoyancy.
What is Mars First Logistics?
Mars First Logistics is an open-world physics simulation about designing mechanized rovers for cargo delivery on Mars.
Assemble vehicles from more than 100 parts, including springs, hydraulic cylinders, servo motors, and rocket engines, then pilot them over procedurally generated terrain. Jobs involve transporting heavy, fragile, bouncy, or floating cargo to support Martian construction projects. Successful deliveries provide funds, new parts, blueprints, and infrastructure options such as roads, power lines, water pipes, and monorails. The game supports solo play and online co-op for up to 3 friends. Standard and creative modes are available, along with individual settings that can be adjusted.
How Mars First Logistics plays
- 01Physics-Based Cargo
- Deliveries involve loads with different physical behaviors, including fragile, springy, and buoyant cargo.
- 02Rover Construction
- Vehicles can combine over 100 components, such as hydraulic cylinders, servo motors, and rocket engines.
- 03Procedural Mars
- Rover routes cross a generated planetary landscape with new delivery challenges across the terrain.
- 04Martian Infrastructure
- Completed jobs provide access to construction options including roads, monorails, power lines, and water pipes.
- 05Online Co-op
- A session can include the solo player or up to 3 friends.
- 06Multiple Play Modes
- Standard and creative modes are available, with additional settings for changing individual game options.
