Surviving Mars: Relaunched - Ultimate Edition Included in the Relaunched offer About the Game See the Red Planet like never before, land for the first time all over again, and discover some brand-new secrets. Welcome home! The award-winning sci-fi city builder is back - remastered, expanded, and more stunning than ever. Your mission: colonize Mars and survive the process, from exploration and infrastructure to welcoming human colonists and achieving long-term stability. There are new challenges to overcome, new strategies to plan, and now with an upgraded look and feel for a new generation of explorers. All you need for this relaunched mission to create a thriving Martian settlement is a steady supply of resources, oxygen, decades of training, experience with sandstorms… and a curious attitude to discover the purpose of those weird black cubes that appeared out of nowhere. With a bit of sprucing up, this place is going to be awesome! Surviving Mars: Relaunched brings together the original colony management game from Haemimont Games, its entire catalogue of expansions, improved and reworked, from major expansions to cosmetics and radio stations, as well as the all-new Martian Assembly update. Upgraded graphics together with updated UI will give veteran players the definitive Surviving Mars experience, and provide an ideal launch point for new commanders as well. Are you ready? Mars is waiting for you. The new Martian Assembly brings an expanded endgame challenge never seen in the original. Shape your Martian society through laws. Balance the needs and demands of your colonists, keep the peace and develop a long-term plan for Mars - up to and including independence from Earth! Building a thriving colony on a planet not fit for human life brings its own challenges. Construct life-support systems, power grids, domes, and supply chains, and keep them running, because blackouts on a planet without oxygen are never a good idea. And you’re not alone. With the included ‘ Space Race ’ expansion, rival colonies backed by competing sponsors add even more pressure as you fight for resources and the future of Mars. Balance critical resources like oxygen, water, power, and food to keep your colony alive. Drones build and maintain your infrastructure, while the revamped ‘ Martian Express ’ adds trains that move people and supplies across longer distances. Every colonist has their own needs and behaviors and smart management is essential for their survival. Advance your colony through a deep research system that unlocks new buildings, production methods, and essential upgrades. Discover breakthroughs, resources, and hidden secrets reaching ‘ Below & Beyond ’ the Martian surface. With randomized maps, varied sponsors, and unpredictable Mysteries, every playthrough offers new challenges, and every decision shapes your story of survival and growth on Mars. Terraforming is no longer a distant dream, it’s your next challenge. With the included ‘ Green Planet ’ expansion, you can engineer Mars into a more habitable world. As the environment transforms, introduce animal life with ‘ Project Laika ’, bringing the first creatures to thrive alongside your colonists. The future of Mars isn’t just survival, it’s building a self-sustaining, living planet.

Description from IGDB IGDB

Mars is a Sci-fi RPG action game that innovatively merges character development and light and rythmic fights. it takes you on a journey deep into an original futuristic universe and presents you with scenarios dealing with difference, racism and environment. Mars aims to renew the RPG gaming experience with more intuitive, faster and more gratifying action phases, while at the same time keeping the specific main features of the genre. The idea is to blend two genres, Beat’em all Action and RPG, combining character progression, immersion, equipment collection, additional quests and a solid storyline with rhythmic combat sequences, a sense of power from the beginning of the game and of course QTE and bosses with sequential behaviour. This combination leads to a true innovative gameplay supported by many other key features : you can choose between two characters whose different stories intertwine and whose skills vary. The game’s environment has been designed to be an asset in itself, or an important part of the gameplay, with lighting effects which create unprecedented combat situations. The world created for Mars has been designed to offer a true voyage in the heart of a totally new universe mingling decadent futuristic technology and precarious survival on a planet with highly extreme conditions. The storyline leads you to discover your own identity in a web of political intrigue and complex conflicts between forces, allowing you to better understand the world you are travelling. Many scripted sequences give rise to the action and storyline, creating unforgettable moments. - Combat The combat phases are dynamic and spectacular no matter your level of implication during the quests. Most confrontations are brief : you move from one enemy to the other striking or throwing spells one after the other. Combat against the bosses or champions lasts longer though, as you must use different tactics to beat them. As you can also modify your environment by breaking part of a roof or moving metal plates to use light as a weapon, the fights gain a more strategic dimension. Playing the role of Pandora is as intense as playing Seth. To make her cast her most powerful spells a precise timing is required as well as constant movement to avoid being interrupted. Even though she is less powerful she is more agile, and just like the warrior needs his weapons, she is nothing without her gauntlets which allow her to canalize her fluid. All enemies, if wounded enough, can be finished off in a spectacular way. - Two characters : two stories and two forms of gameplay Mars allows you to choose between two characters with different skills and Abilities : Seth, is an elite soldier and highly skilled fighter who tends to act brutally even if athletically. As he progresses in the game he can learn many special attacks and how to master new weapons. Pandora on the other hand is a technomancer who handles fluids with catalyst gauntlets to produce devastating magic. But more than just using different skills, playing each character results in a different control and gameplay. Their story varies a lot even though it follows a similar course, allowing you to discover two versions of Mars. - Light effects On Mars sunlight is deadly, which means you can use it during combat to beat your enemies. Seth and Pandora can make gaps in rooftops of different buildings they are fighting on to expose their opponents to sunrays, use mirrors to reflect light on them or push them away from the protection of shady paths. You can modify the architecture of the environment during combat while making sure your character is not exposed to sunrays and watch out for shadows moving position around the sun’s movement. The impact the sun has on the gameplay provides a new feature not only during combat but during the entire game itself. - A new world The Mars universe is unprecedented, not at all like normal mythological or fantasy worlds, offering a journey in a credible futuristic world where survival and the ability to adapt are keys to be able to withstand a hostile, desperate and decadent environment. The game’s story, complex political system and religion, as well as its many creatures and different inhabitants lead you through an unforgettable journey in an "extraterrestrial" world.

Storyline IGDB

Colonisation and the great catastrophe The game begins 200 years after the colonisation of Mars. The planet has not been terraformed as such although its air has been rendered breathable. While colons settled on the planet 70 years ago in different enclaves, Mars turned around its axis and changed its orbit. This tumult not only completely shut down communication with Earth, it also spread death and destruction, creating unprecedented chaos in the planet’s colonies. Many inhabitants were forced to leave the cities in ruins and destroyed agricultural land, exposing themselves to solar radiation. Most of them died, but some survived and mutated, taking shelter as quickly as possible. Other colons managed to stay in more or less undamaged cities, taking shelter from the now deadly sunrays. Very soon the survivors were confronted with a problem : water, which abounded in the past has suddenly become extremely rare. The companies in charge of this commodity became very powerful, controlling most enclaves and bargaining with the life of the people. Isolated, at the mercy of solar radiation with no water, the colons quickly deteriorate from a technological standpoint, sinking into decadence. Factories and mines are virtually abandoned. The metal manufactured is now mostly from recovered material. The people living in Mars live in a technologically medieval standard while using highly advanced technological remains they hardly control. Now Today, two kinds of people live on Mars : those who never left the security of their city, the so-called True People who are free of mutations, and those who have been exposed to radiation, the Ashes from Mars, who are mostly slaves of the former. Water circulates from one city to another as far as the cultivated lands via aqueducts which create the so-called shadow paths, covered roads which allow free movement from one place to another. Various water guilds rule over the planet and fight for supremacy. The political power they exercise is authoritarian : any form of rebellion is punished by death without trial. Water has become a weapon like any other : by simply stopping it from getting to a village life can be destroyed. This is also the case of the sun, since exposing a district to its light is enough to get rid of all its occupants. There is virtually no opposition in place, just a few isolated individuals here and there or a few Ashes from Mars raising objections in breach of the law, living in the worst districts or city slums.
