Control your Mars Rover to explore the harsh environment of the Earth's red neighbour - Mars. Scavenge remainders of previous missions and a recent Space catastrophic disaster to collect sparse resources and re-use old, refurbished devices. Help the survivors by providing them with resources required for their survival. Upgrade your Rover capabilities in order to provide them with higher survival chances. Repair and upgrade capabilities of the surface outposts scattered around the map in order to get access to the new types of surface and space operations.
Scan the Martian surface for an opportunity to discover, mine and collect precious materials and collectibles. Sell collected resources or reclaim their content to turn them into crafting materials. Complete quests for the competing Earth organisations and unlock access to new, better tech and Rover improvements.
The Rover:
Your Mars Rover is your best friend on the hostile Red Planet. It is both your mobile exploration platform and a mobile inventory. Use your rover capacity to retrieve found resources and gear, then get it safely back to the nearest Outpost to use it for your future improvements or as an occasion to earn some spare funds.
Invest collected materials in better Rover types, with increased inventory space, more equipment slots, support for more complex devices and improved resistance against the environmental hazards.
As you'll progress, you'll get access to new gear types, with improved modifiers for the Rover's performance and the opportunity to perform new interaction types, from simple surface mining, performing repairs and performing scans of the nearest environment to getting access to map-wide probe mechanics, ability to pinpoint areas of particular resource richness or the ability to drill into the planet's ground.
Game Features:
Martian Mysteries: Explore the Martian Surface just after a catastrophic disaster happened on the planet's orbit. Help the castaways with their survival as the Earth corporations compete against each other on who will be the one to get the deal and organise the succesful rescue mission. Try to discover the details on what was the reason behind the disaster in order to ensure the safety of the future missions.
Control the Rover: Take control of a small, exploration oriented mobile platform. Collect, repair and craft new module types in order to improve and modify your capabilities. Maintain the energy and resource intake and outtake levels on the Rover's deck. Invest in better Rovers to get access to bigger inventory and module slots.
Mine, Process & Craft: The surface may look empty and desolate, but there's lots to discover, both on and under the ground. Look for the remainders of previous Martian outposts and missions, scavenge the leftover devices, repair inactive machinery and perform mining & smelting operation. Unlock access to new Rover tools and invest in space probe operations in order to get access to new ore sources, resource types and get access to more difficult planet regions.
Difficult Climate: The Martian environment will be your most difficult enemy, and so will be its surface conditions. Remember to charge your batteries before the night comes and protect your Rover against increased radiation or temperature changes. Prepare your onboard gear for the difficulties of reduced light access, low visibility and protect your gear from the occasional dust storms.
Space Corps: There are four space industry focused companies competing for the access to the Martian surface and you're the independent variable in that struggle. Each company is mainly focused around particular part of space tech & industry and it's up to you to decide, whose tasks you'll complete and for whom you'll be working the most. The more you'll invest in particular org, the better Tech unlocks and Services they'll provide.
