Tharsis
Succeeding in Tharsis requires you to make the best of what you have, even if it happens to be a pair of snake eyes. Certain factors may be outside of your control, but that doesn’t mean they can’t be overcome. Tharsis is not a game about facing the odds. It’s a game about changing them.

“Very difficult rogue-like that requires you to measure your chances of success in every situation. Tharsis is a turn-based games whose premise is that there is a group of astronauts on a spaceship that is on its way to Mars, but every turn issues come up with the Temu spaceship…”
— a player, Steam review · 7 hrs played“Dice aside, this is the most realistic depiction of how the trip to Mars would play out, if launched soon-ish or in the next 20 years. Except if some magical drive is invented, this really is where we're at. Oh, definitely 10/10, one of the best sci-fi games ever!”
— a player, Steam review · 26 hrs played“I managed to get 14 hours out of this game and felt like I got my money worth since I had gotten it on sale. $10 or under and I'd say pull the trigger.”
