Epic Games Store has put on offer Surviving Mars to claim for free this week, taking the place of Minit.
Surviving Mars, developed by Haemimont Games and published by Paradox, is a city-building simulation game giving players the task of building a habitable base on the Martian surface. It involves managing resources, constructing habitable domes and buildings within those domes, and looking after the needs of residents living in these confined domes.
Haemimont Games originally released the game in 2018 and has previously worked on several city-building titles, including Tropico 3, 4, and 5. Surviving the Aftermath, a new entrant in the series was announced just last week by Paradox as well, though it’s not clear whether Haemimont will be working on it.
