Research & development of new technologies as well as exploration of the Red Planet are key for establishing a permanent presence in this hostile environment.

Comments on MARS - the arrival for Android

★★★★☆ Senna Baars · Jun 13, 2025
The game is very fun, though I ran into a problem when reaching industry phase. After entering industry phase about 30 settlers were added to the supply drop which was 12 hours from arriving. This drop now contained enough colonists to raise my population by 33% (±105 -> ±140), which I did not have the infrastructure to support. I managed to get out of the death spiral, but not before dropping to only 35 colonists. I recommend not adding new colonists to supply drops which have already departed.
★★★★★ Ice Rayhan · Jun 29, 2021
Best Mars game people download if you have patience it is the most realistic Mars game you have to wait real time but is the thing that makes it realistic have fun. Heiwa games please add terraforming to make it more realistic
★★★★★ Dave Twisleton-Ward · May 29, 2024
In depth simulation of a Mars Colony. Builds in stages, with capabilities being unlocked after new researches, arrivals or materials. Initially lots of close monitoring to make sure the settlers have all they need, then waiting for construction or research to finish. Becomes more of a resource management sim after a while, but am still checking in daily after over a year.
★★★★★ Atouchkie Akatsuki · Nov 29, 2022
The game is hard at first because of limited resources that you need to allocate carefully for your settlement to survive. Every module that you need comes from shipments from earth. But once you reached the industry phase wherein you can already produce the needed modules for constructing anything then the game starts to get interesting. Well it seems that we cannot manufacture Transparent Modules at all. Edit: transparent modules can also be manufactured at Construction Modules Factory.
★☆☆☆☆ D M · Dec 16, 2021
The game has serious issues due to the atrocious shipment mechanic combined with maintenance demands. You will most often die (or be stuck without anything to do) not due to mismanagement, but simply because shipments seem to be both entirely random and really, really miserly.
★☆☆☆☆ Dan Bed · Sep 11, 2022
Can even pass the launch site at the start of tje game. Gets stuck and only plays music...
★☆☆☆☆ Bruno Quaresma · Sep 30, 2022
Idle game... 🥱 Would've liked to actually PLAY something in game and not just waiting for timers
★☆☆☆☆ Leaf · Dec 29, 2020
Awful. Utterly awful. The game makes you wait /REAL TIME/ to do absolutely anything. There's nothing remotely intriguing about it, and the textures don't load properly.
★☆☆☆☆ A Google user · May 30, 2024
Game glitch out when I was trying to create a 3d map, but there was no way ti get back to the home screen from there so now the game is stuck like that unless I delete it.
