Occupy Mars: The Game

Mécanique incroyable, quelques heures de passé dessus, dèjà très intéressant. Foncez !

It's hard, but fun :) watch a vid or 2 before jumping in for the first time lol

For now nice for 12jears old. And to far out of the big legue games.

9/10

The recommendation buttons on Steam really need a 'meh' button. Most of the game is pretty good. Good idea, well composed structure, reasonable pacing. But there are some irritating grindy bits that just made me uninstall. The worst one is the iron cost for universal repair kits and the fact that iron seems to be the rarest mineral on Mars (I thought the reason it was red was because of all the iron). I kept getting hit by meteors and losing all my power (then you lose all your food of course "withering"). Unfortunately, it takes about three days of rock mining to find enough iron to build all the repair kits you need. Then you get smashed again. Sorry, that's just tedious. Game devs: Up the supply of iron or drop the universal repair kit cost. It killed the game for me

I mainly play survival games and this one has quickly become my new favorite. The Campaign has the most bare bones of a tutorial which is fine if you like survival crafting games and learning as you go. The only bug I've found so far is that the supply drops are never at the location they say they are. They are either invisible in the air or deep underground which cannot be accessed. It would be nice to get the supply drops but it's not necessary and for me not worth the hassle of traveling the distance for an item. The game is not quick or easy, it takes patience, thought and planning. I do like how you need to be mindful and balance your resources, specifically water, power, food in that order. Plant too much and don't have enough water, plants die, food runs out, you die. expand the base too quickly without having enough power, plants can die, you run out of food, you die. don't scavenge enough and stock up on food when you are learning to grow your own, you die. Like with any survival scenario you need to always find in order; water, shelter, power, food, defense. The game only auto-saves when you sleep so if you don't regularly save your game or if you like to run off ill prepared you'll die. Don't place markers on your map to find your way back, you die. It is a survival game where you are stranded on Mars, it's another planet, surviving is the goal and anything can go wrong and kill you. I'm seeing some negative reviews lately but the game sets you up with all the tools you need to survive and thrive, it just takes experimenting and practice. Whenever you start a new play through you always land near a water source and a derelict outpost you can scavenge and scrap. I don't don't think it gets much easier than that. Really looking forward to the co-op gameplay when it is available.

Very fun game. Everything took a bit to figure out but I was able to figure most things out on my own. Can't wait to see the next place they take the game
