Surviving Mars turns catastrophe into inspiration as humanity claws for the stars

That's the thin line Tropico dev Haemimont Games is aiming for with its newly announced city builder Surviving Mars. It's a game about surviving on Mars, if you can believe it. This is no SimCity or Cities: Skylines. Nor is it Tropico, with its comical dictator and his near-infinite powers. The consequences of failure are so much greater here.
