I love this game. I think at this point I seen most of what it has to offer, but that was a lot. I am excited to see what this developer does next.

If you, like me, really like the early game parts of games like Stellaris and Civilization this is for you. I have played it mostly on Steamdeck and have had some minor issues where I had to use the touch screen but otherwise a great adaptation.

April 2025

The best video game about Terrafoming mars ever made. I love how the exploration fuels your development of the red planet. If you don't enjoy replaying a scenario over and over again to get a high score, this game probably isn't for you

April 2025

An interesting resource management game. I like that its laid back with no urgent scenarios. There are challenges and it takes a lot of thought and planning because space is limited on the planet. It would be hard to compare this to another game. I like that its turn based and not on >,>> or pause. I would recommend the game. its a thinking game with the stress of urgency. I think it fun. If you like resource management games, give it a try.

March 2025

After having played more than two hundred hours and having 95% of achievements, I can say that it offers a lot of replayability. After unlocking all content you can still experience many different scenarios, the weekly challenges provide a way to come back to the game. Every choice that you make early game sets different pacing in regards to the terraforming of the planet as well as the final objective which can vary. For example going heavy in resource extraction, delaying terraforming can make you lose the game and investing early on it can mean you didn't create that extra energy facility or landing platform that smoothens up the rest of the game for you. Also the expansions are well tailored adding a meaningful dimensions to the game. Planet colonies give you the edge in many different, cool ways, for example, early colonization of Mercury can lead to having lots of tritium and energy, to basically build infinite spaceports. Or having Europa can lead to Mars becoming a water world. You can build a megastructure to have additional technologies or use one to spread plants across the planet. It's not just challenging but also visually compelling and the different sounds and music play their part.
