Watching the ant-like colonists building the city alongside Martian mountainscapes is like a meditative experience, all set to the beautiful in-game views of a starry sky. Seed the planet's red soil with lichen, brush, and trees, and once the atmosphere reaches breathable levels, you can open up the glass domes and let the colonists take a fresh breath of Martian air. All must be carefully monitored, with the goal of bringing them closer to habitable levels. Terraforming requires a careful balance of the elements: Atmosphere, Temperature, Water, and Vegetation. But you don’t need to be an expert on terraforming or Mars to enjoy the game: the game has in-depth tutorials to teach you the basics. The game mimics reality's challenges and requires patience and hard work to tame the tough planet. If an asteroid slams into the planet or a marsquake strikes, it'll endanger your colony.Īnd that's what we're up against in real life, too. Just like reality, every decision has a consequence: releasing too many greenhouse gasses into the atmosphere will trigger an acid rain and reduce soil quality. If you figure out how to survive all that, you might begin to think about colonizing and terraforming the planet. Sand storms threaten to destroy any structures you build, the unrelenting radiation fries human DNA, and the lack of atmospheric pressure would essentially cause your organs to rupture. Let's just get this out of the way: Everything is harder on Mars.
