Sequel to Deliver us the moon (2019), Deliver us Mars (2023) is a Atmospheric sci-fi adventure game set in the mid-21st century. When Earth's ecosystem is close to extinction due to the effects of climate change, after a mysterious distress call from Mars, Earth's youngest astronaut, Kathy, joins a expedition to recover the ARK Colonial ships stolen over a decade ago by the mysterious science-oriented organization Abroad (Kathy's father, Isaac, is among the leaders of Abroad).
Although the history of Deliver us Mars It is strictly linear and you as a player cannot influence it, the story itself is well written and interesting, revealing the truth about the fate of Abroad colonists on Mars piece by piece. Some parts of the game felt like a real detective story. The visual and auditory atmosphere of the scenes complements the story well and the final act of Deliver us Mars It presents one of the most convincing depictions of a human colony on Mars in video games.feeling almost utopian… especially comparing it to the dying Earth.
Unfortunately, this aspect also leads to some frustration with the strictly linear nature of the game's narrative: you can't change the main character's final decision, no matter how stupid you think it is. Another source of frustration with the game for some players will be the clunky wall-climbing mechanics. Regardless of these minor issues, Deliver us Mars is a must-have game for any Mars fan.
