While they might dream about what to do once they land, the companies and institutions seeking to reach Mars are currently more concerned with how to get there. NASA, SpaceX, and Mars One have all spoken about their goals for humanity as an interplanetary species, but for the most part these grand plans seem designed only to attract enough public interest and funding to develop the tools to reach our red neighbour.

Surviving Mars, a city-builder from Haemimont Games - of Tropico 5 and Victro Vran fame - asks us not to concentrate on the journey to Mars but on what a Martian civilisation might entail. It is a game of maybes and what-ifs, the science provided for you and waiting for you to employ and interconnect it to fit your own colonisation dreams.

If you're looking for the best space games on PC then look no further.

You might be set on taking advantage of the Martian habitat to advance science, selling your inventions back to Earth with a view to advancing the species and making you enough cash to continue your experiments. Or, you might be interested in social cohesion and developing that most scary and doomed of ideals: a utopia. On the flip side, starting from scratch on a new planet offers the chance to prove that harsh authoritarianism is the way to maximise achievement.
