Recommended (with caveats) Occupy Mars is one of those frustratingly good games. The core gameplay loop is excellent: power management, oxygen, water, logistics, base building, and problem-solving all feel grounded and rewarding. When your base finally stabilises and runs without constant babysitting, the sense of achievement is genuinely satisfying. If you enjoy competence-based gameplay and systems that expect you to think, this game absolutely delivers. However… it is very buggy. Physics issues, vehicle problems, and mission soft-locks are real and will happen. I personally had to abandon a main mission because it soft-locked, and continuing to build the base made it unrecoverable. Reloading often fixes things, but you will need patience and workarounds. That said, this is where the developers deserve credit — this isn’t a cynical AAA release. You can clearly feel that this game was built by a smaller team with ambition, not by committee. The bugs come from scope and complexity, not from monetisation, cut corners, or contempt for the player. Unlike many AAA titles: there’s no live-service nonsense no aggressive monetisation no padding to inflate playtime no blaming the audience when things go wrong The systems are here because the developers wanted to build them, not because a spreadsheet said so. Most importantly: the simulation systems still work even when missions break. If you enjoy the underlying loop — building, optimising, expanding, fixing failures — you can keep playing and have a great time regardless of quest issues. Think of the missions as guidance, not the game itself. Verdict: If you want a polished, bug-free experience, avoid this for now. If you enjoy engineering problems, realism-leaning survival, and can tolerate (or work around) bugs, Occupy Mars is genuinely rewarding. I recommend it because the game loop is strong and the intent is honest, not because it’s flawless.

Its a clunky game, but I love it. Somethings I think they can improve. 1.) no oxygen output in hanger for Heavy Rover 2.) the wires and tubes all over, its clunky and visually bad 3.) its like every vehicle does not have proper physics and driving over a few bumps is rough 4.) i can walk off a cliff and I turn into a rag doll and die. -- same cliff with a truck and I'm indestructible and make to to the bottom no problem, but a motorbike i cant even make it to the cliff without going ragdoll off the bike from a pebble... 5.) if you have input ports for air/water/power on the outside of a building, there should be plugs built in on the INSIDE to access these resources. But i need to build a battery hub to get a plug on the insdie to get a power port to recharge suit, a CO2 scrubber to fill a O2 bottom to get oxygen even though Im piping oxygen into the base, and a sink to get water. Just some ports on the wall as standard output ports would be better, but at maybe a slower speed?? 6.) helmet setup is funky... nuff said

For the Dev Team: I just wanted to say that my son and I really enjoy playing this together. He's a big STEM fan and loves space exploration and it provides a window into that world. Also like the fact that you kept it somewhat grounded in real physics, science, and space exploration challenges. Don't give up on it. Consider a space station option, a pilotable way to get off the planet, ice mining to get water, space suit upgrades, cold fusion, there are really limitless things you could do with the engine and environment. Well done.

An open-world-survival-craft game that is NOT fantasy! I greatly appreciate the hard-sci-fi aesthetic of this game. The point is surviving on Mars. There are no aliens, inter-dimensional or 'ascended' beings, there is no combat with wacky toon animals pretending to be aliens. Or Dinosaurs. This is MARS. In our solar system. There is no life on Mars. You are alone. No magic, and no magi-tech. If something needs power, you run an extension cord and PLUG IT IN. Better hope your solar panels have charged your batteries, because they are SOLAR PANELS; They only work when the sun is up. No magically broadcasted 'global wireless power'. You will need oxygen, temperature, water, food, sleep, and the power requirements to enable all of that. If you enjoyed the novel or movie "The Martian" starring the character of Mark Watney, this is basically the game version of that. (yes, you'll be farming potatoes) And it's awesome!

I watching this game closely for years. I did not buy before due lack of CO-OP. Since I like Satisfactory especially building electricity network this game is seemed promising. I bought recently due it was on sale and I saw COOP Beta tests. This game is good. It is EA stage but perfectly playable. What to expect? You can experience of about 2 minutes in the very begining at campaign mode that the characters and the look of the character is dull. The a dialogues are dull too. When the accident happens and you stranded alone in the MARS you dont get involved any character interaction anymore so problem solved. But..you stranded on planet mars. Despite the inventory is unrealistic - you can carry half a planet without a struggle - you are going to be facing a serious problems out there. Weather situation is deadly. The night cold deadly too. Power blackouts. Hunger. I have a base with the ATV. The vehicle is drained off and I dont have any food and my potatoes is still growing. Sandstorm out there and crafting medkits to survive to wait to have a potato, and blackout again. The plants are withering. If you open a door without equalizing pressure yes that happens. You have a soldering station you have to repair a PCB with replacing capacitors and any parts. Brilliant. It definitely scratches that kind of itch.
