What is Take On Mars?

This Mars simulation begins with a space agency campaign where you direct rovers, landers, and probes to collect scientific data and research equipment. A later story campaign follows an astronaut stranded after a mission goes wrong, who must build machines to survive. In cooperative sandbox play, you extract resources and construct a habitat.
