Survival sandbox game set in space
Occupy Mars: The Game is a premium simulation game developed by Pyramid Games for PC. It’s an open-world sandbox title that is set on Mars. Players will need to explore and colonize the planet while trying to survive and deal with its harsh and unfamiliar terrain and environment.
Similar to No Man’s Sky and Space Engineers, Occupy Mars: The Game employs a space theme, with open-world exploration and survival elements being key to its gameplay. Its presentation is more on the atmospheric side and the experience it offers is more grounded and realistic in comparison.
Living on the Red Planet
Occupy Mars: The Game offers a well-rounded space adventure experience that’s based on real scientific and technological principles and theories. You’ll start off with establishing a base of operations and building supporting structures that will help sustain life and key processes. They include essentials like oxygen tanks, fuel generators, and greenhouses—all in the hopes of creating a colony and making the planet habitable.
You can then turn your attention to the electrical components you’ll need to build machines and vehicles. The latter will be crucial as you venture forth to plot the landscape and its surrounding areas. Discover previous resources, as well as mining sites that you can tap into. Be wary of your gauges and telemetry, though, as running out of fuel or oxygen out in the open will be deadly.
This simulation game also features a dynamic weather system in addition to its day/night cycles. They will be major factors in determining what you can do, as well as how much preparation you need to make. The game is not out yet, but you can request Beta Playtest access. Also, when it does come out, it will still be in Early Access status.
Building a new home
All in all, Occupy Mars: The Game is a very compelling space adventure game that mixes open-world exploration with high-stakes survival gameplay. Its systems and mechanics that are grounded in real principles and theories will be appreciated by fans and enthusiasts of the genre alike. If you’ve been looking for a realistic space sim experience, keep tabs on this one.
