Now thanks to the game’s official ESRB rating we now have new details. Surviving Mars was rated E10+ by the ESRB, and it was revealed that characters will commit suicide if they aren’t attended to emotionally. Character traits will also impact how characters interact, and some will struggle with addiction to alcohol.
Check out the complete Surviving Mars ESRB rating below:
This is a strategy/management game in which players build and manage resources for a colony on Mars. Players mine resources (e.g., fuel, rare metals, water), build dome structures, and manage inhabitants’ needs along the way. Characters may die of malnutrition or commit suicide if their ?sanity? levels fall too low; this is conveyed mostly through text, as inhabitants are simply depicted collapsing and lying on the ground after death. Players can also construct turrets to defend their bases from rival corporations’ attacks; missiles and explosions accompany these brief attack sequences.
