Take On Mars (v1.0.0001)

Take On Mars by Bohemia Interactive offers a detailed and immersive experience set on the Red Planet, blending scientific exploration with survival and colonization challenges. Players begin their journey as rover operators, remotely guiding robotic vehicles across realistic Martian landscapes based on actual satellite data from sites like Victoria, Gale, and Cydonia Crater. The game’s campaign mode lets you progress from managing unmanned missions that collect scientific data and develop new technologies to stepping into the role of astronaut Mark Willis, the lone survivor of a failed manned mission. Using engineering skills and resourcefulness, you must build machines, secure shelter, and find a way to survive the harsh and unpredictable Martian environment. Beyond the single-player campaigns, Take On Mars features a sandbox survival mode where players can cooperate online to establish a human colony. This mode involves extracting raw materials, refining them, and constructing habitats using 3D printers, all while maintaining power grids, cultivating crops, and operating a variety of vehicles and machines under extreme weather conditions such as sandstorms and solar radiation events. The game’s advanced physics simulate different gravity levels and realistic vehicle damage, adding depth to the experience. Additional locations include Mars’ moon Deimos, Earth’s orbit, the Apollo 17 Moon landing site, and the International Space Station. With extensive modding tools and a 3D scenario editor, Take On Mars encourages creativity and community involvement, making it a comprehensive exploration and survival simulator grounded in authentic space science.
