Surviving Mars is a city-building strategy game about establishing and growing a human colony on Mars, managing domes, resources, and infrastructure while contending with the planet's harsh environment. Players balance colonist needs against the practical demands of surviving off-world.

Random events and mysteries scattered across the Martian surface add unpredictability to the long-term planning at the game's core. It's built for fans of methodical city builders who enjoy the added challenge of an alien, resource-scarce setting.
