Tharsis review: A space farce-is | Gamespresso
Gamespresso's Sheldon Jones looks at Tharsis, a somewhat twisted sci-fi survival tale of astronaut's journey to Mars.
"The premise, writing, story and cut scene pictures are really all that hold up my want to continue playing. If more focus were put on these few things rather than the way the dice roll and the different random repairs you run around constantly fixing, the game could have a much bigger draw to it to a wider audience. Because of the great storytelling, I really want to know the ending and see what they find on Mars. And there is a certain fun in doing the match between who you should send to fix what, or whether it’s worth it to fix a module. But the mediocre graphics, short game time, and intense difficulty hold it back from being more than a niche product for people that enjoy juggling dice more than their family jewels."
