About Mars - the Arrival

Settle on MARS in a mixture of game and scientific simulation. Take control over a tiny group of 10 settlers and choose a landing site on the barren Mars. Develop your venture from one single landing module into a thriving settlement with hundreds of specialized buildings and even more inhabitants.

Research & development of new technologies as well as exploration of the Red Planet are key for establishing a permanent presence in this hostile environment.

And you are not alone. Other settlements, each one controlled by a real human somewhere on Earth, are starting to grow everywhere and a competition for being the most successful Mars colony has already begun.

Great Time Management, Poor OPTIMIZATION!

First I will say the game is good and the prices you pay for the few option is reasonable. I have been playing for 6 plus months and enjoyed the daily activities of managing the settlement. As of now I would not suggest making any ingame purchasing due to the game not being optimized. It's a text based type game with no high demand for graphics yet when I play I get error message that it's low on memory. So recently I purchased a new, best iPad with twice the ram. It's the best you can get yet I'm still getting the memory error. The game either lacks optimization or has a memory leak, I'm not sure. Either way once you spend much time, advance, maybe spend money on purchases you will find yourself not being able to play even with best tablet or phone. So play free and don't spend money. I'm all done due to my new iPad can no longer support this app. Please fix memory issues.

Great game and support

I really enjoy the game and its dynamics. When I had an issue with the purchase the developers were quick to respond and resolve my issue which is rare these days.
