About

Take on Mars, released in 2013, is a unique simulation game that allows players to explore the rugged terrain of Mars as they control rovers and engage in missions aimed at pioneering the red planet. Developed by the creators of the acclaimed Arma series and DayZ, this installment offers a captivating experience that combines exploration and science, inviting players to push the limits of their vehicles while undertaking mankind's most ambitious quest.

In terms of PC performance, Take on Mars is quite accessible, requiring only an entry-level GPU with a minimum score of around 552. Players with 2 GB of RAM or more will find the game runs smoothly on lower-end machines, making it an ideal choice for those who might not have the latest hardware. Expect frame rates around the 30 FPS mark on lower settings, but to achieve better performance, a mid-range GPU is recommended to fully enjoy the graphics and optimize your FPS.

While Take on Mars holds a modest score of 50/100, its simulation genre may appeal to fans of exploration and space-themed gaming. If you're looking for a game that focuses on discovery and the challenges of Mars without needing high-end hardware, it’s worth a try, especially if simulations are your interest.

Performance profile

Released in July 2013, Take on Mars sits in the DirectX 11 generation. Comfortable on any modern mid-range GPU at 1440p; even an RTX 3050 or RX 6600 typically delivers 4K60 at High settings.

Simulation titles like Take on Mars are heavily CPU-dependent — physics, AI and world state dominate the frame budget. Prioritise a CPU with strong single-thread performance and fast RAM over raw GPU power.

Extremely light — Take on 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.
