Surviving Mars is a sci-fi city builder game that challenges players to build a smart, functional colony on Mars. Developed by Haemimont Games, this game is available in full version on Xbox One. In the game, players choose a space agency for resources and financial support before determining a location for their colony. From there, they must build domes and infrastructure, research new possibilities, and utilize drones to unlock more elaborate ways to shape and expand their settlement.

The game also features individually simulated colonists, each with their own unique problems and strengths that influence the needs and behavior of the other colonists. This adds an interesting dynamic to the game, as players must keep their colonists alive in a planet not fit for human life. Additionally, players will encounter individually crafted mysteries of Mars, inspired by the classic sci-fi of Asimov and Clarke, and must uncover these secrets to bring their colony great fortune, or terrible ruin.

Overall, Surviving Mars offers a unique retro-futuristic aesthetic, expansive mod support, and a randomized research tree that allows for a different experience for each journey through the game. If you are a fan of strategy games and sci-fi, this game is definitely worth checking out!
