About
Surviving Mars (2018) is a sci-fi city builder that puts you in charge of colonizing the red planet. You'll construct domes, manage resources, conduct research, and deploy drones to expand your settlement across the Martian landscape. The game blends simulation and strategy elements, challenging you to keep your colony alive while developing increasingly complex infrastructure and technology.
Surviving Mars is highly accessible for PC gamers, with modest hardware requirements that won't demand top-tier components. The minimum GPU requirement is an entry-level graphics card with a benchmark score around 631, making it run smoothly on budget systems. You can expect solid FPS performance on integrated graphics or older dedicated GPUs, and the game scales well with better hardware if you want to maximize graphics settings and achieve higher frame rates. With just 4 GB RAM minimum, it's an excellent choice for benchmarking on lower-end systems.
With a 71/100 rating, Surviving Mars offers a solid experience for fans of city builders and strategy games. If you enjoy complex management sims and sci-fi themes, it's worth checking out despite its middling review score.
Performance profile
March 2018 release. Surviving Mars was built around the GTX 10-series / RX Vega era. Current-gen mid-range cards (RTX 4060 / RX 7600) are overkill at 1080p and handle 1440p Ultra comfortably.
As a strategy title, Surviving Mars is typically CPU-bound rather than GPU-bound — single-thread CPU performance dictates framerate during large-scale battles, end-game saves and late-game AI turns. A fast modern 6-core will help more than a GPU upgrade.
Extremely light — Surviving Mars runs at 60 FPS 1080p on any integrated GPU (Intel Iris Xe, AMD Radeon Graphics) or a decade-old discrete card like the GTX 1050. A current-gen RTX 4060 pushes 4K Ultra without effort.
Storyline
Welcome Home! The time has come to stake your claim on the Red Planet and build the first functioning human colonies on Mars! All you need are supplies, oxygen, decades of training, experience with sandstorms, and a can-do attitude to discover the purpose of those weird black cubes that appeared out of nowhere. With a bit of sprucing up, this place is going to be awesome!
