Take On Mars

Take On Mars, also known as TakeOnMars, is a simulator that puts you in charge of exploring the Red Planet using realistic rovers and landers. Think of it as running your own Mars mission from the comfort of your PC. You navigate real Martian terrain, fix equipment, and manage a space agency’s budget. Not exactly a walk in the park—more like a walk on a very dusty, red, and rocky park where things tend to break unexpectedly. Wondering how tough Mars really is? This game shows you the gritty side of planetary exploration.

What’s the game about?

Take On Mars is less about fast action and more about careful planning and problem-solving. You aren’t a spaceman in a suit but the controller of vehicles and devices sent to uncover the secrets of Mars. Whether it’s driving a rover through rugged canyons or managing scientific experiments, you’ll face real challenges that can make or break your mission.

Key Features

• Realistic controls: Drive rovers and landers with lifelike physics and mechanics. Yep, even your camera can break, and that’s just part of the fun.
• Single player campaign and missions: Jump into structured missions or pick quick tasks if you’re short on time.
• Economic management: Keep an eye on your agency’s budget while pushing Mars exploration forward — space accounting isn’t glamorous, but someone’s gotta do it.
• Modding support: Create your own vehicles, missions, and even environments. Because why not drive a rover through a simulated Martian dust storm?
• Accurate Mars landscapes: Explore the Red Planet using satellite data for authentic environments. It’s like Google Earth went to Mars and stayed.

Why pick up Take On Mars?

Looking for something different than typical shooters and RPGs? This game brings a slower, more thoughtful gameplay experience. No aliens or laser guns here — just rock, dust, and science. It’s surprisingly engaging if you like managing details and facing unpredictable technical challenges. Lesson learned early: always carry a spare rover wheel. Trust me on this.

Need a challenge?

Take On Mars isn’t for everyone. It’s technical, sometimes unforgiving, and demands patience. But if you’ve ever wanted to geek out over Mars’ surface, or dreamt about running a real space mission, this game scratches that itch. Plus, it’s free to try, so why not give it a shot?
