Have you ever wanted to control NASA’s Mars Curiosity Rover from the comfort of your own living room? Well, now Bohemia Interactive is making it possible to explore the terrain of the Martian surface in the new Windows PC video game Take on Mars. The object of the game is to build your own rovers and landers, then set off to explore the Red Planet. The exploration simulator allows players to accept missions; analyze rocks, soil, and atmosphere; and assess whether or not radiation hazards are suitable for future human colonization. Players also have the ability to study the chemical makeup of the Red Planet to see if it is satisfactory to develop and harbor life.

...

Take on Mars is also highly moddable, so you can create your own missions, rovers, and landers. Bohemia Interactive is making it really easy to make Take on Mars a never-ending campaign for anyone who wishes to explore further than the game’s out-of-the-box limitations.


Take on Mars will be released this July, and Bohemia Interactive will also have free downloads to expand the game to explore the moons of Mars too.

Persistent and customizable squads.

Deep campaign mode. The actions of the player directly affect the balance of power on the system. There is one main objective to achieve, but there’s much more to do.

Customizable Battlecruiser. The Battlecruiser serves as the base of operations, and can be customized with weapons or infrastructures that will boost the squad numbers, teleport soldiers or even bombard the battlefield.

Faction relations. There are a number of neutral minor factions in the game. These factions will have missions available for contract work. When the player completes missions for a certain faction, the relations will improve with that faction. On the other hand, completing missions against a faction will lower the relations with it. Having good relations allows the player to train or buy units unique to that faction. Having bad relations will make that faction randomly attack the player during missions.

Upgradeable and unique (per class) skill tree for all units.

Different unit classes with specialized roles: Recon, Tactical, Assault, Support, Engineer. Each class can carry a different set of weapons and has its own abilities. Powerful mechs can enter the battlefield with salvaged or bought equipment and weapons.

5 worlds with different environments and weather conditions that directly affect the battle: rain, fog, snow, ionstorms and more insane stuff.
