Description






  • Send your leaders to mysterious locations and uncover rich resource depots, giant crystal caves and stunning natural wonders.
  • Found new cities on craters and in lava Tubes. Make them thrive and meet your population's rising demands.
  • As the planet is procedurally generated, every new playthrough will be unique.



  • Choose the best buildings from a selection of randomly proposed projects at the start of every year.
  • Plan your city layout efficiently and find strong synergies between buildings.
  • Grow your cities into utopian metropolises or industrial settlements automated by robots.



  • Restart a volcano, construct giant space mirrors or nuke the poles to geo-engineer the entire planet.
  • From spreading adaptive bacteria, to planting full-grown forests with bears. Each life form has specific requirements and provides strategic benefits.





  • By making this game, we hope to inspire humankind to take its first steps out of the cradle and become an interplanetary species, starting with Mars! Do you want to join the terraforming movement, get updates about the game development? Then join our Discord server!

8.5/10
Terraformers is an engaging game that can deliver that “one more turn” feeling that strategy fans crave. The interplay between resources, cards, leaders, and terraforming efforts requires careful thinking and asks players to make difficult choices. There’s a lot of variety both when it comes to scenario objectives and the planet setup.

Terraformers may not be greater than the sum of its parts, but its unique mix of mechanics and low asking price should help spark curiosity in fans of strategy games and card based roguelikes.

Low-stress fun

Easy to understand after the tutorial playthrough and engaging fun. I was looking for a low-stress world building game that wasn't too complex. The ones I have are all so lengthy and layered that I couldn't quit halfway through a playthrough for fear of never being able to pick back up all the elements I had going. Terraformers is a great compromise -- still enough complexity that it's not rinse and repeat, but no complicated pipelines or battles. Definitely worth the money.

The Red Planet awaits

A well made game, with a lot of interesting features, high lvls of replayability and variety. I would buy again. My only concern is that you can easily run into situations that make your current run unwinnable bec of RNG...

Pretty fun

Would be improved if you could save and reload in a normal way. I presume the developers are trying to curate a particular experience where you can't experiment and go back, but it's not as good as the normal way for me.

A fun sci-fi puzzle game

Terraformers is a really nice puzzle game (I guess it could very well be a kind of an engine-building board game), which can be quite challenging (especially if you're playing scenarios with pre-set minimal difficulty), but is always fun.

you can not civilize all

The graphics are nice, the sound is good and the game is a strategy on what to build and what to do in which order. It is nearly impossible to achieve everything in one match. However this is designed to start over and over again until you reach the inevitable end of the round. To support the idea you have to pick a challenge to begin a match and you need to work towards only that goal. You will fail (later) many times.
