Terraforming Mars in IOS

The strategy game on Mars

Walkthrough, Guilds, Tips on this special game

Our Expert Score

91/100

Terraforming Mars on mobile is an incredible feat of adaptation. For fans of the board game, this is a dream come true, bringing all the strategic depth of the physical version to a portable format. Managing your corporation's resources while racing to raise the temperature and oxygen levels of the Red Planet is as addictive as ever. The UI is dense, but once you get used to the iconography, it becomes very efficient to manage your hand of project cards.

The AI provides a respectable challenge for solo play, but the real draw is the online multiplayer. The inclusion of expansions like Prelude adds even more layers of strategy. While there are occasional bugs with tag counting, the developer has been active in patching the experience. It is a must-have for any serious strategy gamer who wants to lead humanity's expansion into the stars from their phone.
