Surviving Mars is a world of the near future, where humanity begins to develop Mars as a new colony and plans further resettlement to this planet. The player will have to study many aspects of the life of its population, separated from Earth without the possibility of emergency support.Each colonist is a separate person with his own needs, which must be taken into account for effective development and successful development of the planet. In addition, over time they will create their own families, give birth to children, and accordingly increase the number of needs. At the same time, not all researchers of the red lands have positive characteristics. Alcoholics, panic-mongers, stopping all laboratory work, freaks, marginals and many other characters capable of forming groups may appear in the company of scientists. Allow a coup, democracy or keep everything under strict control and focus exclusively on scientific research, it is up to the player to decide.Difficulty modes available in Surviving Mars:
- Very low - budget up to 30 million., 200 volunteers, presence of auxiliary rockets, no homesickness among colonists
- Medium - budget up to 6 million., 75 volunteers, presence of support drones, the price of rare metals and special resources is reduced
- High - budget up to 4 million, 100 volunteers, increased rocket flight speed (delivery of resources is long)
