The Martian independence dream

The new Martian Assembly introduces an expanded, never-before-seen endgame challenge. Shape your Martian society through legislation. Balance your colonists’ needs and demands, maintain peace, and develop a long-term plan for Mars – even achieving independence from Earth!

Realistic sci-fi city builder

Establishing a thriving colony on a hostile planet comes with challenges. Build life-support systems, power grids, domes, and supply chains while keeping everything operational. A blackout on an oxygen-free planet is never a good idea. And you’re not alone. With the “Space Race” expansion, rival colonies backed by competing sponsors add pressure in the struggle for resources and Mars’ future.

Manage resources, survive Mars

Balance critical resources like oxygen, water, power, and food to keep your colony alive. Drones construct and maintain structures using the revamped “Martian Express” expansion, which adds trains for long-distance transport of people and supplies. Each colonist has unique needs and behaviors, requiring smart management to ensure everyone’s survival.

Discover, research, expand

Evolve your colony through a deep research system unlocking new buildings, production methods, and essential upgrades. Discover groundbreaking technologies, resources, and secrets “Below and Beyond” Mars’ surface. With randomized maps, varied sponsors, and unpredictable mysteries, each playthrough offers fresh challenges where every decision shapes your survival story.

The Red Planet’s future is green

Terraforming is no longer a distant dream – it’s your next challenge. With the “Green Planet” expansion, transform Mars into a habitable world. As the environment changes, introduce animal life through “Project Laika,” bringing the first creatures to thrive alongside colonists. Mars’ future isn’t just about survival. It’s about building a living, self-sustaining planet.
