I started playing the original Take On Mars shortly after it came out in Steam Early access, and at the time it was the best space exploration game I had ever played. While there are more popular games today such as Kerbal Space Program, Take On Mars places the player right in the shoes of the Astronaut with the option of multiplayer, while also allowing the player to control their own space program and drive rovers around on the surface of Mars to their hearts desire.

Over the years, the game has built up a small but declining fanbase, who have been very vocal about support for the game after further development ceased whith the last update released. Take On Mars is no doubt very educational, as it is not one of those "shoot them up" games so many people play today, it instead allows the player to get an idea of how scientists think, with a better base system for exploring planets than Kerbal Space Program, which does not use real terrain to simulate the planets like Take On Mars.

With the playerbase declining and the possibility of a sequel diminishing as the years go on, now is the time for one, as the space age is now back with the rise of NASA's artemis project, and the announcement of the first full human crew to orbit the Moon since 1972, there is no better time now for a sequel to Take On Mars, in order to help inspire a new generation of younger players, and provide a fun, educational expirience to others on the future of humanity on a new frontier.
