Tharsis
Description
A mysterious signal originating from the Tharsis region of Mars set us on a frantic mission. Who sent it? And why? Impossible questions, but in them lie the key to humanity’s survival.
Now, millions of miles away from home, a micrometeoroid storm has left us with a severely damaged ship, two deceased crew, and the sneaking suspicion this trip was doomed from the start.
Tharsis is a turn-based space strategy game. With dice. And cannibalism. It puts you in control of humanity’s first mission to Mars, just as it’s struck by a micrometeoroid storm. You must guide your crew through disasters, food shortages, and the unforgiving nature of space — all while maintaining your sanity amidst cryptic signals and warnings from Mars.
Defy the odds, make the difficult decisions, and embark on the most important mission in human history.

VERY SHORT BELOW AVERAGE SPACE GAME
I like short games. Sometimes when I look back at the 300+ hours in Witcher 3 or a Total War game, I think, man, that may have been a bit much... So I like short games. A run in FTL is great fun for me because I can fit it in one evening. But I won this game in 45 minutes. And that's with spending time getting used to the UI. I realized that new games start automatically on easy so I increased the difficulty to hard. An hour later I had won the game again. Essentially it is a 9 or 10 turn game. It is kinda like the start of a game. See, after you get the ship to Mars, you're thinking: Okay, now the game can really begin... But no, it's just a few still images on the screen and the credits start to roll. So yea, feels like a very easy to program chance for a guy to make a bunch of money by having all the action take place on one screen with next to no animation. Oh yea, did I mention the dice? instead of hiding the dice rolls in the background when you perform an action, rolling the dice is actually the main part of the game. Not very immersive if you ask me... Let's see here, charting a course to mars, Oh wait, let me just roll some dice in the hallway here to see if you die while making repairs to a leak crewmen red shirt. Because the dice are so in your face, you don't really bother to read the messages after a while... the text is just blah blah blah after all, all the matters are the numbers. If I had it to do over again, I would not have bought it.

Boring and random
A bleak story with no answers, extremely random game, bad interface design (you cannot rearrange the dice during the roll, seriously?). All in all, I regret every penny and every second spent on this. I can't find anything positive about this product.

Great game but woefully balanced
Good concept, but far too hard and very frustrating. It needs to be balanced properly - Nothing drastic, but with out it being tweaked you will find yourself getting annoyed by it pretty fast.

Bore in 5 minutes
Long tutorial, unrealistic setup. Three new games in 5 minutes with same result and longing. It is like trying to break armed concrete wall with bare hands. And all this fills meaningless which raises question Why? What is the cookie at the end?
