60 of 100 · most liked firstSurviving Mars (2018) is back! But as a VR game on Quest, PCVR, and PSVR 2! But not as a top-down strategy game! Surviving Mars: Pioneer by @bolverkgames.bsky.social (Genotype) is a survival experience that challenge you to establish and maintain a mining operation on the harsh red planet.
unlabelledView post →🕹️Space sci-fi game deals🕹️ This weekend, on Steam, Surviving Mars: Relaunched and Borderlands 4 are both available to play for free. For Prime subscribers: DOOM 1 & 2 (Gog) are free, and the excellent SW Outlaws and Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora are available on Luna (streaming).
unlabelledView post →The Martian experience will undoubtedly be very immersive, but I'm a little sorry it's not Surviving-Mars-but-in-VR. This kind of top-down game design lends itself well to VR. Still, I can't wait to try this upcoming VR game out.
unlabelledView post →There is a pretty good strategy game/colony builder/terraforming simulator called Surviving Mars from the mid 2010s that is unfortunately marred by a large number of Musk quotes tied to research/technological breakthroughs.
unlabelledView post →It's a big Free Play Days this week! Game Pass members can play Borderlands 4, F1 25 2026 Season Edition, Surviving Mars: Relaunched and CarX Drift Racing Online, while all players can enjoy Dustborn and EA Sports Madden NFL 27. Learn more: news.xbox.com/en-us/2026/0...
unlabelledView post →it's time for a challenge run of Surviving Mars on stream live in 15 mins! Greb has made a mod for me to use, playing with Greb clones as every colonist will I be able to terraform the planet before the Grebs rebel & blow everything up? Find out at - www.twitch.tv/iggymaid
unlabelledView post →Also, my day got completely twisted around cuz of trying to do a run in Surviving Mars: Relaunched I don't know if I'm just really fucking stupid or the game is just super hard 💀 You don't know how many times I restarted the map only to fail hours later 😭 What the fuck am I doing wrong lmao
unlabelledView post →Just found out Surviving Mars is getting taken down and relaunched as a new game. As promising but deeply flawed as the original game is, I think that's kind of cool. Also, one specific track from the OST lives in my brain. And so #Today'sBeat www.youtube.com/watch?v=TeIU...
unlabelledView post →So I tried Surviving Mars and it's cool but the "normal speed" button is offset by 1 pixel vertically when hovering, literally unplayable I've dug into game asset files and yup it's just offset in the asset itself (2x speed button icons on the right for comparison)
unlabelledView post →I’ve been playing Surviving Mars which has been in my Steam collection for years. It’s a slow city-building game about terraforming and colonising Mars. This is not a recommendation. It’s a pretty boring game. #SurvivingMars
unlabelledView post →SMAC is, in my opinion, the best game I have ever played. A fantastic strategy game, and an outstanding SF game. I feel that Civ: Beyond Earth was a disappointment, but man, I would love a quality reboot of SMAC. Meanwhile, I am happy to be playing EUIV, Stellaris and Surviving Mars.
unlabelledView post →Surviving Mars is the game that makes me space out the most. Suddenly I blink and it's like 3AM when it was just 10PM earlier.
unlabelledView post →54/ Surviving Mars (game, 2018) This is the game I've spent the most time on in this entire list. It's a simple but solid Martian colony-building game. At the beginning there's nothing, you have to find resources, then set up production lines, and at the end fantasy cities. Super fun for me.
unlabelledView post →It rarely goes well when writers (or editors perhaps) insert famous from the present day (esp living people) into science fiction stories (near or far future setting). Famous becomes infamous real fast. See also: Surviving Mars, a fun game haunted by in-game quotes by Musk & Putin for the tech tree
unlabelledView post →Oh no Paradox, what did you do this time?? 🫣 So they relaunched 2018's Surviving Mars as a new game, which could've just been a large patch of the original? With even more bugs somehow? Let's see how we feel once the dust settles, but oof... I enjoyed the original a lot, sadly. "180 hours" a lot.
unlabelledView post →Surviving Mars: Pioneer is a VR reimagining of the strategy game, and it's entering early access later this year: www.uploadvr.com/surviving-ma...
unlabelledView post →Currently playing Surviving Mars and several of the techs have Elon Musk quotes in them because he still had his "space genius" persona intact in 2016. The game is, however, mostly about you fucking up your domes/life support failing and then watching your colonists die horrible. So still works.
unlabelledView post →Surviving Mars I admittedly haven't played the re-release and the underground/asteroid exploration DLC was very janky but the core game stuff is great for making an aesthetically pleasing Mars colony
unlabelledView post →Surviving Mars Relaunched's Steam reviews are just 42% positive, with players upset that the paid-for remaster doesn't seem to have fixed the original game's problems #SurvivingMars #StrategyGame www.pcgamesn.com/surviving-ma...
unlabelledView post →From strange plants to strange planets, it's time to switch genres and go back to my gaming roots with a sim game! Join me as I look at survival city builder, Surviving Mars, as we hope to construct a sustainable colony on the Red Planet. 4pm GMT | twitch.tv/chronomagistrate
unlabelledView post →Woken up with the urge to play multiple games 🤣 Splinter Cell, Tears of the Kingdom, Jurassic Evo 3, Indiana Jones and Ghost of Yotei...plus city builder Surviving Mars gets a PS5 Relaunched Edition (new game engine/all the expansions/different developer) later today 😍
unlabelledView post →Paradox released an updated version of their game Surviving Mars (from 2018 or 19 or so) on a new engine. I was in a stream watching it this morning and people were asking whether it was worth buying. Apparently one of the changes they made - removing a quote from Elon Musk.
unlabelledView post →🚀 it’s tiiiiiiiime 🚀 Do you know the #game named Surviving Mars? In this game, you will have to build your own city and to survive on the planet #Mars. Thanks to the help of a #spatial agency, you will be able to create new #technologies and build new building! Illustration non-issue du jeu
unlabelledView post →Surviving Mars. It was OK, but I felt it could have been great with some better mechanics or game design under the hood.
unlabelledView post →This’ll be a weird analogy, but it’s like the game Surviving Mars. In that game a big goal is self-sustainability. It may be something you want to aim for from the get-go, but in reality the best way to succeed especially early on is earn money. In order to build a utopia, you need some capitalism.

unlabelledView post →Surviving Mars. It's janky, unloved by its creators for a very long time, and far too easy, but for some reason I just adore the game.
unlabelledView post →Also Surviving Mars is an excellent city builder game and just got a remastered version.
unlabelledView post →Wellll the game Surviving the Aftermath got its Martian windmills from the earlier game Surviving Mars, but that show was out before Surviving Mars. So, 1) show and 2) neither
unlabelledView post →In the latest Paradox game Surviving Mars which I have bought twice because of the remastered version. I'm barely surviving Mars and my current goal is terraforming Mars whilst getting 250 colonists to gain independence.
unlabelledView post →The Surviving Mars music is really excellent, and while it's a so-so game (created by Haemimont Games before they were acquired by Paradox), the score's evocative of the game's big ideas. Here's "CI" by George Strezov with a performance by the Sofia Session Orchestra. #vgm #videogamemusic #gaming
unlabelledView post →they just released Surviving Mars: Relaunched, which is like the same game, but with QoL fixes and changes, new stuff and DLCs and new mechanics to the game that were lacking in the older version. should have been a free upgrade imo, but eh, for the hundred of hours i'll probably waste in this...
unlabelledView post →I don't know why they even need dx versions, it makes sense for old ateliers but not the Ryza series. Another game, Surviving Mars, also delisted so publishers can make more money rereleasing it as Surviving Mars Relaunched instead of actually fixing the bugs in the original like they promised.🙄
unlabelledView post →Gosh I enjoyed that so much! The game was so charming and cute!! I got misty-eyed looking at all the beautiful scenery and just being in the Shire... ;w;!! This game has made my heart so full. I just love it! I sent the pollygons on to @gavinstoutheart.bsky.social who's playing Surviving Mars!
unlabelledView post →3. Underrated game: Surviving Mars. At its core, it’s a city builder with some survival mechanics, but it’s surprisingly fun and always offers a good challenge!
unlabelledView post →A game trailer I created was featured in the VR Games Showcase! I got to work alongside Bolverk Games and Flat2VR Studios to create the teaser for Surviving Mars: Pioneer Keep an eye out for the early access release later this year! Check out the trailer below 👀 www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kpng...
unlabelledView post →I learned this in the game Surviving Mars. A game which throws a bunch of Musk quotes in there from before he was as blatant an idiot, which I imagine they wish they could take back.
unlabelledView post →Haemimont Games, the developer behind the game Surviving Mars, was acquired by Paradox Interactive #gamedev #gamedevelopment #indiedev
unlabelledView post →My favorite way to play! Some great “soundtracks” for Wyrmspan, Parks, Root, you name it. Some great one-to-ones are the Surviving Mars video game soundtrack with Terraforming Mars or SETI.
unlabelledView post →#61: Surviving Mars. A survival/citybuilder/??? game that doesn't feel like it know what it wants to be. It's doing a few things but none of them are very deep or complex, and most of my time with it was just waiting for something to happen. 6/10.
unlabelledView post →Just wrapped up today's stream! River City Girls was replaced by Desynced, an early access factory-builder game kind of like Surviving Mars meets Factorio? And it was a ton of fun! Thank you to PitchWings, @coffincuddles.bsky.social, and PsyminSezz for the raids!
unlabelledView post →In "Surviving Mars", when you exit the game, it says that exact line. I think it's a lovely tribute to SMAC.
unlabelledView post →I think I have that game, too? I also have..I think Surviving Mars on the EGS.
unlabelledView post →fuck me.. September is too damn packed with video game releases or updates that i want to play.. NMS 10th Anniversary, Valheim (i've waited for 1.0), The Witcher 3 update, Surviving Mars DLC, more im probably forgetting...
unlabelledView post →A patch that supposedly fixes a bunch of the tedious nonsense in Surviving Mars being part of a $40 DLC for the game is maybe the most Paradox thing I've ever seen.
unlabelledView post →Star Trek: Outposts Unknown is a curious game but thought I'd give the demo a go. it's enjoyable in the same way as Aven Colony or maybe Surviving Mars is. The general gist of the story feels pretty TOS, though the interface and sound effect could do with some work. Price right, it'll be fun!
unlabelledView post →Surviving Mars, a city building style game I enjoy but is really just okay, has many Elon quotes. And a sponsor called SpaceY. I cringe when I think about it too much.
unlabelledView post →Spent far too long recovering a music album from a video game that's no longer available on Steam. SAVE. YOUR. MEDIA. OFFLINE.

unlabelledView post →Post about em if you find any! The only ones I have are Surviving Mars, which has most of that stuff abstracted, Plan B: Terraform, which is a factory city game that I have complaints about how easy it is to waste resources, and Planetcrafter's terraform is just... one number. Bigger=more green/wet
unlabelledView post →Untitled Goose Game hands down. Then & now. It was such unbridled joy & the memes after were great. But as of 2025, I've spent significantly more hours on Mini Motorways & Littlewood. The Green Planet expansion pack for Surviving Mars came out in 2019, & the full game is my second most played ever.
unlabelledView post →Yea. I was saying to a friend of mine that this has happened a few times now. Surviving Mars had their whole dev team replaced/that game was a mess, and they recently relaunched that game for some reason and it STILL has some of the original bugs. Paradox is being god awful again, i guess.
unlabelledView post →Paradox is shuffling development off to another of their internal studios, makers of Surviving Mars, so Collassol Order can focus on newer projects Surviving Mars is a fine lil 7/10 colony builder game but goodness, giving them Cities Skylines 2 just sounds like Paradox wants a DLC factory >.<
unlabelledView post →I didn't know One Piece had an episode about their ship. Tho tbh my brother can get pretty attached to something, but usually it's games or franchises like Surviving Mars or Project Moon. This thought occupied my mind since I can feel bad for random things including npcs in a game with no lore. 😅
unlabelledView post →I'm home 🏠 what an exhausting day it's been however time to get my game on. Today I'll finally be playing Surviving Mars Relaunched. My gamer boy is now in affect isn't he cute 🥰 wouldn't mind playing a couple of call of duty games with this cutie 😍😊
unlabelledView post →And if for whatever reason I didn't want Relaunched, but still wanted the complete Surviving Mars experience, I can't legally get it because they delisted the original game and its DLC with no warning.
