Surely this is mislabled and supposed to be Early Access. The team has addressed they are working on several fixes. :D on the edge of my seat. The Pro's & Con's ---------------------------------- Pros 1) Colonize Mars! 2) Can mine ice! 3) The game starts! 4) Mo ! gotta love Mo! Cons 1) Video settings are currently limited. It shows other resolution options, cannot select them however. 2) No real way of setting a base beacon. (Hard to navigate sometimes without compass or anything.) 3) Resources are in the same spots everytime. 4) Cannot "Layout" your base. You click build and it setups the construction plot for you. 5) Game breaking bugs. 6) No way of "Free look" Cannot select groups of people. Have to tab to each one to check their vitals. 7) Crew often get stuck walking in place when traveling. I get it #SmallIndieDevTeam. This seems to be an acceptable excuse because, I hear it all the time. For me however this game really does play / feel.. Early Access. I do not recommend ...

Slider options for graphics and 2 game breaking bugs i have found, i cannot recommend this game right now until it is patched farther, maybe then it will be fixed enough to play. I really wanted to like this game.

I really like the ideas behind this game but I have to advise against spending 15 euros on it right now if you're expecting a stable and clean game. But if you want to support the team behind it to make it better, please do pay. I did. First I felt bad about paying for this but if giving money means improvements then I don't mind. I hope it happens so I can change my review. Good luck guys :)

This game kinda sucks, poor graphics. It needs more interactive parts, like customizing your base to where you want the modules. Maybe more settings and upgrades per module. Its too simplistic. This game needs large mudules and possibly building that out can build when you reach a certian research level. Eventually all your crew will die. This would be a lot better if we could build to the point of a self sustained community. suggestions -Drilling rigs for underground mining. -Larger maps, with customizable rovers. -Getting to land and choose build locations. -possible multiplayer up to 4 players. -upgrades for each mudule. like air and food production. (types of foods, calories per type of food.) -space station to transfer goods and colonists. -building for the surface. This game is extremely limited. This game has a lot of potential, but the graphics and game play is severely behind the times.

Its a nice idea but it is not very fun to play,you should stick with Space Colony or Startopia if you want a sci-fi colony building game. I hope that they release more patches that make the game actually fun but until then this game gets a thumbs down.

An eye-opening game! I've thought of colonizing Mars as something we may do, later on, somehow. I'm sure they'll figure out how to do it. After playing this game, now I can see that colonizing Mars really is something that we can do. I feel like I can join in on the discussion on colonizing Mars, or at least listen and understand more of what people are saying; understand what's needed, and what the concerns are. I feel like I understand the kind of life the colonists will have, on Mars. After playing this game, my whole view of Mars has changed: it's another place; not all that different from Earth, but without any oxygen, which is kind of a problem. For the first time, I could imagine myself on the surface of Mars, and felt like I could feel what colonists might really experience there. I'm really glad I played this game. From a gameplay perspective: colonizing Mars, is a lot different than playing Sim City. There are different challenges than in other games in this genre. Decisi...

Quite an update. I'm into space and I enjoyed the hell out of this. The update handled a mess of usability issues and improved the graphics. The challenge is the game, not the UI. I couldn't help but imagine the book/film "the martian" the entire time I was playing. I liked: -Colonizing mars -Lots of characters to pick from -Real science -Several landing sites -Updated graphics -Upgrading I'd like: -Better camera controls -Some way to see the resources of each character without cycling through them Super Recommended

First of all, this is a solid, well designed game that I would recommend to anyone interested in educational RTS style play that doesn't involve shooting things. Its real strength comes from realistic approach to balanced resource management (expand too slow or too quickly and you die). There is plenty of challenge build into the game play which will probably keep anyone intrigued by potential Mars colonization glued to the screen for hours. Having said that, the game does need some polish. I haven't encountered any major bugs, but I felt that camera rotation and individual colonist management could be made more intuitive. The tech tree and achievement system are adequate but seem a bit disconnected from the game play. I found graphics to be more than sufficient since I don't believe more visual realism would add anything to this type of game. Finally, I think that this game could focus a bit more on Mars exploration that promotes fantasy and curiosity elements of play. In othe...

I was an early supporter and noticed a new patch, but when I reinstalled the game and the 'colonist' kept shouting "ORDERS CONFIRMED" every time I clicked for him to walk, I thought back to 1996 and realized ths game is rubbish. Enough other people have listed the negatives (besides the horrible graphics), I'll just leave with this thought. It's 2015. this game doesn't belong on Steam. Don't waste your money. It was bunk in 2015 it's still bunk end of September 2016

Pathfinding is not great. You can't tell characters where to go and what to do unless it is within their line of sight, so a lot of the game is micromanaging each colonist. More seriously, the final structure you need to complete the game spawned on top of a construction site for another structure needed to complete the game, making it impossible for me to complete the building project. Despite these serious issues with the mechanics, the game is fun and I would recommend it if you can get it on sale.
