. WW: January 12, 2016Mode(s)Tharsis is a 2016 developed and published. It was released worldwide in January 2016 for and through the download service, as well as for, and later in April 2020 for the. The game follows a team of on the first to, in order to track down a signal that is apparently extraterrestrial in origin. After being hit by a storm, they must resort to desperate measures to survive the trip.A turn-based game played using simulated virtual, the player controls four characters, attempting to fix problems with the ship and keep the crew alive each turn by managing their dice cache, and stress level. Developed by designer Zach Gage and the indie development studio Choice Provisions, the game was created to mimic a experience.Critics were polarized on whether the gameplay was deeply strategic or overly dependent on random chance, and the game was more poorly received by video game reviewers than streamers, board game players or other developers.

Contents.Gameplay Tharsis allows players to control four astronauts with unique jobs and abilities inside a heavily damaged, the Iktomi. The game lasts for 10 in-game weeks, during which time the player must attempt to reach Mars without any of the crew perishing.

At the start of each week, at least two parts of the ship will have a problem in need of repair, and which, if left alone, can damage the ship's hull integrity or crewmember health. The player can click each astronaut to deploy them to a certain module for that turn and repair them using the astronaut's dice. If a problem is not repaired after all crew members move, the negative effect will trigger.

The player, using the Captain character, attempts to put out a fire by rolling dice.Each astronaut has their own health points (HP), stress meter, and dice cache. Every roll of the dice decreases the character's maximum dice by one unless replenished with food. Problems can only be repaired by adding enough dice to match the indicated number. However, there are several types of hazards that can hinder dice rolls, which can only be avoided by gaining 'assists'.

There are a maximum of three assists at a time, and one is consumed to prevent a hazard. Besides using the dice to repair, each room has a bonus that can be activated by rolling a certain dice, or combination of them. Extra dice can also be invested into research, allowing beneficial abilities to be used at a later time.At the end of each week, crew can work on side projects that the player can choose from.

Usually, these side projects have both a positive and negative effect. The higher the crew's stress, the worse the negative effects, and if crew are allowed to go, they will work on a solo side project with a more drastic effect than usual, and may harm the other crew. The crew can also eat food, if any, during this time.

Can be used as a last resort if the crew runs out of food. The player can choose to feed the body of a crew member who died in the beginning of the game to various surviving crew.

However, this has significant negative consequences to the characters' stress levels and maximum health, and affects the game's ending. Plot The game is set in the near future, where Earth has received a mysterious signal from on Mars. With scientists believing it to be a sign of, the Iktomi is built, and its six crewmembers are sent to Mars to investigate the anomaly.

Depending on the characters used, the voice of the commander will be either male or female. However, halfway through their mission, the ship is suddenly hit by a micrometeorite storm that kills two crew members, Mapiya Musgrave and J. Cross, and destroys the Pantry where the food is stored. With limited food supplies and crew, disasters start running rampant throughout the ship, and the astronauts are forced to constantly fight to survive. Despite still being able to contact Mission Control, they are unable to turn back home.During the journey, the crew deciphers data sent from Tharsis and realizes that it shows what seems to be an exact copy of the crew of the Iktomi who are in dire straits. Unsure of what to make of this data, they manage to survive until they reach Mars and launch the capsule, while the Iktomi remains in orbit and is destroyed. The crew tracks down the signal and comes across an alien artifact.

Suddenly, the artifact flashes with a bright light. If one or more of the Iktomi's crew is dead, the artifact's energy release seemingly kills everyone.

One of the crew manages to survive long enough to send a distress call, which the artifact sends back in time, creating a. However, if all of the crew survive, then one of the crew members manages to pick up a rock and throw it at the artifact, destroying it in a massive explosion, with their ultimate fate unknown and Mars now covered in a layer of snow, implying the planet can now support human life.Development.

The color scheme of Tharsis was based on that of a toy xylophone.According to an interview with Mike Roush, co-founder of Choice Provisions, the original inspiration for Tharsis was the story of the whaling ship, which was sunk by a whale, forcing the crew to resort to desperate attempts to stay alive, including cannibalism. The game was also inspired by the mission and the fact that they were forced to use unusual household items to maintain the air scrubber.The game was also created out of Choice Provisions's desire not to be 'typecast' as a studio that only developed the series or worked in an style. Tharsis's art style was based on 70's sci-fi designs such as those used in and, but which was updated to be realistic in a modern-day context. The color scheme was derived from that of a children's. The consists of tracks from the album Half Age EP by Weval.The dice mechanic was used due to a perceived resurgence in the popularity of board games, as well as due to the uniqueness of the concept in video games. A challenge that was noted was the high of the game, which caused people to abandon it instead of watching the tutorial or delving deeper into the strategic mechanics. The game was balanced to provide a degree of challenge such that players could not beat the game on their first try, but required repeated attempts to be able to get further and further.

The game's development took approximately two years to complete. Reception ReceptionAggregate scoreAggregatorScore61/100Review scoresPublicationScore6.5/106/104.8/1044/10045/100Since its release on Steam, Tharsis has received mixed reception, according to. Amongst positive reviews, Matt Peckham of called the game 'ingenious' and 'brutally exacting'. Reviewer Andrei Dumitrescu of cited 'interesting mechanics' and 'a lot of replayability', despite the high difficulty, and that the game showed how humans persevere in the face of hopeless odds.

Brian Dumlao of Worthplaying scored the game moderately, praising the 'lovingly rendered' graphics of the ship despite the 'generic' characters, and saying the music was 'done very well', though mentioning that the game was 'not for everyone', and that people who weren't comfortable with losing far more often than they would win would be unhappy with the game.A common point of criticism was that success was perceived to be overly based on random chance. Patrick Hancock of praised the game's graphics as 'wonderful', aside from the faces of the crew members, but criticized the game for relying 'too much on dice rolls', leading to the feeling that winning is too dependent on luck and 'destroying one's interest in trying again'. Rob Zacny of stated that he felt that he had gotten 'lucky' when things went well, instead of doing 'something clever'. Tyler Wilde of PC Gamer called the game it highly 'dependent on chance', and suggested that the difficulty varies widely depending on how good your dice rolls are for that particular playthrough.According to designer, the game was one of the most critically divisive he ever worked on.

The game received an overall negative response from publications that were video game focused, while it received a more positive response from streamers, board game players, and developers. He believes this is due to the fact that games of chance are usually used as a lazy shortcut to make things harder, or to take the player's money in, which caused the gameplay of Tharsis to be overlooked.

Deep in space, a beacon from Mars calls for your crew. A beacon with an important message that most players will probably never hear. This is Tharsis, a tough-as-nails spaceship strategy game that is heavily against your favor. GAMEPLAYTharsis is a strategy game with luck-based elements that feel almost impossible without a keen eye. You’re playing as a crew, all of which have different abilities, in which you have maintain a ship. There’s little food, the ship malfunctions often, and you have to keep the health and sanity of the crew in mind. Unfortunately, for the astronauts, there is little to no chance they will be saved.

You have to keep an eye on health bars, the status for the hull of the ship, sanity meters, die (that make up each crew member’s hunger level), and then it throws curve ball events that can alter all of these factors. It’s a lot, and it doesn’t coalesce into a fun gameplay experience.With every turn, different rooms of the ship malfunction and the crew has to fix them with dice rolls. Each malfunction requires a different number, and at a certain point, it gets very overwhelming with high numbers and very little die to accompany it.

In addition, the die can cause damage to the crew, can disappear entirely if the wrong number is shown, and the die can be stuck to a low number. It’s a frustrating mashup of side tracks that make a playthrough salvagable. You have to have a completely perfect run, and when it’s down to chance, it can get tough very quickly. There are some factors that can help your crew like +1 to the hull or +1 dice per member, but even then, the dice has to be over 5 for an ability to be used.

That high dice number will have to be used towards saving the ship. You can also acquire food or help your crew members in different ways (health, sanity, etc) by interacting with the rooms, but I found that there weren’t enough die for the situations on screen to use these tactics.Overall, I enjoyed the idea of the game loop with roll of the dice mechanics and plenty of choice at your finger tips (quite literally in portable mode with success), but the overbearingness of Tharsis constantly making it harder for the player made it way less fun. I was left at a loss on how to proceed to the next section of the game. I really like the mechanics of Tharsis, but the game definitely needs tweaking.

STORYI felt overwhelmed (and I was playing on Easy mode), but perhaps that’s the point of Tharsis. It shows the imense struggle of space travel. It gets dark and takes turns that you don’t expect. The cutscenes enamor you with fear and survival instincts. It’s a mature game. There isn’t much of a narrative to Tharsis other than the occasional cutscene (with varying voices to represent who is alive), but the voice acting and the storytelling make sense with the gameplay.

SOUNDThe music doesn’t necessarily mesh well with the overall concept, but it does keep the game stringing along with an upbeat electronic beat that gives a space vibe. I would have preferred it with a different soundtrack. Instead of a creepy atmospheric ambience like, the music felt more Men in Black.However, during half the game, there was nothing more than the sound of the gas masks and then some cool sound effects from each of the rooms. The voice acting is great and helps immerses you into the story, but once again, the music and the severity of the problems the crew is facing don’t mix well. It was kinda off-putting.

VISUALS & PERFORMANCETharsis has a cool look to it. Every room has unique animations of the crew members working on fixing the ship, and there are different contraptions that are spinning around. It’s like one of those toy houses. There’s a seamless transition that goes from the ship to the specific room, which creates an effect of you peeking in to see what’s going on. It’s a nice touch, and keeps the game feeling smooth.I faced no frame rate drops, and on the Switch Lite, I was able to read the text perfectly well. The interface transitioned from PC to Switch without a hitch.Each crew member has an animated head above them, showing their mood and personality. It also shows them flinching whenever they take damage, and when each crew member dies, they go into this creepy white haze and an outline of who they once were.

The faces aren’t that detailed and go into the uncanny valley, but they are proficient enough to give you that feedback that the player needs. VALUEIf you can find a way to get through the road block I faced, Tharsis is reportedly 2 hours long,. However, you will have to retry multiple times, due to the incredible difficulty, and there are five unlockable crew members to get through in-game assignments.At a standard price of £10.79, I’d be hesitant to recommend it, but for those who would like an interesting strategy game set in space, this might be liftoff for you. At the time of writing, it is currently 25 per cent off on the Nintendo eShop in the UK until the 26th of April.
