Surviving Mars

What the player actually does

Surviving Mars is a single-player science-fiction city builder focused on establishing a functioning human colony on Mars. You choose a space agency for resources and financial support, select a colony site, and build domes and supporting infrastructure. Managing the settlement includes researching new possibilities, using drones, growing food, mining minerals, and expanding the colony while keeping its residents alive. The game is presented from a bird's-eye or isometric perspective. Its premise also includes strange black cubes that have appeared on the planet, though the supplied information does not explain their role.

Who will enjoy it

This is suited to players who enjoy simulator and strategy games built around planning, construction, and survival pressure. Its focus on choosing a location, developing infrastructure, and sustaining colonists should appeal to people who like to think through how a settlement grows over time. The Mars setting and colony-management theme make it a natural fit for science-fiction fans. Players looking specifically for a solo experience may also appreciate that the listed mode is single player.

Buying guidance

Check the live price on this page rather than relying on a fixed price. Before buying, verify that you are purchasing for Linux, Mac, or PC (Microsoft Windows), as those are the listed platforms. Consider whether a bird's-eye city-building format, strategic planning, and the challenge of keeping a Mars colony alive match how you prefer to play. The available facts identify simulation, strategy, science fiction, and survival elements, but do not provide more detail on the game's pace or progression.
