Take On Mars 1

Take to the red planet once again in yet another video game, this time in Take On Mars, where you won’t be attacked by mutants/aliens/Mars-rats.

As one of the latest titles in the Take On series by Bohemia Interactive, Take On Mars places its players in the seat of a Rover Operator. Able to control fully simulated mobile Rovers and stationary Landers you’ll be working your way through numerous Science Missions. With this arsenal at your side, you’ll uncover all the secrets of the planet’s past.

I must admit when I first saw the title I thought it’d either be another RPG where you will have to fight some corporate giant trying to gain control of all resources, or a rival faction for survival and territory, or aliens who want to eat your face off. But it’s good to see a decent simulator that gives you the chance to live your childhood dream of exploring a different planet, albeit through science and Rovers rather than being there in as an astronaut.

Take On Mars will release for PC on 1 August, available for purchase through Steam. Check out some screenshots below.

    This is actually damn awesome. If I head minions, I mean kids, no, kids is the word used for baby goats, children, that’s it. If I had children I’d darken a room, and make them place the shit out of this until they were obsessed with space.

          It’s on PC yeah but even low end laptops can run it. It’s about the only game I can run on PC. For all my gaming needs I use my PS3. Download the KSP demo here. It’s really worth it:

          https://kerbalspaceprogram.com/

          Build a rocket; Point It the right side up, blast it into space, at 20000m feet start your orbital turn (East), above 70000m burn directly east till you reach a semi stable orbit.

            I’m still trying to build a SSO capable of actually getting off the runway. Then again I am building something the size of a reaper.

            July 19, 2013 at 11:16

            I’m not that big on SSO’s but a reaper would be awesomenessness in a can! I think I’ll try that If I can get Jeb back from Eve.

            Everybody loves Jeb. Then again I seem to have more luck with Bill.

            I guestimate that it looks like a double heh. Ever left a drink in the fridge overnight & then when you taste it the next morning it’s faaaaaaaaaaaaaar stronger than you remember? No wonder I used to get hangovers.

            I can’t stand beer. We used to dop it up after work on a Friday. The choice was brandy & coke or warm beer. I learnt to appreciate brandy & coke 😉
