Humorous economic simulator Mars Attracts from Irish studio Outlier has debuted in Steam Early Access.

Here's What We Know

The game in the Mars Attacks movie universe is a simulator of amusement park construction and development and what distinguishes it from many similar games is that gamers will have to organise entertainment on Mars, host the inhabitants of the Red Planet and even kidnap Earthlings to become stars of the attractions.

The gameplay of Mars Attracts fully corresponds to the canons of the genre: it is necessary to think over the concept of the park, to fill it with attractions, to select the staff, to choose competently the places for the park buildings, to conduct the infrastructure between them, to make the enterprise profitable and constantly attract new visitors, and for this purpose it is necessary to replenish the supply of people from the Earth in time.

Interestingly, players can send Martians to Earth in different eras of human civilisation development to diversify the park as much as possible and replenish it with exotic exhibits.

Gamers have praised Mars Attracts, as evidenced by the 94% positive reviews on Steam. They highlight quality technical execution, originality, humour (often black) and unusual approach to the simulator genre.
