Now that I’ve obtained that joke out of my system, right here’s a an uncommon sport: the people at Outlier have introduced a brand new sport based mostly on the cult traditional film Mars Assaults.

Upon listening to this you’d most likely think about a wide range of genres: perhaps a shooter the place you battle the comedically odd Martians? Or perhaps one thing alongside the likes of Destroy All People, which itself attracts inspiration from Mars Assaults? No, Outlier has chosen one thing odder, one thing crazier: a theme park administration sport.

“Mars Attracts is a theme park administration sport set on Mars,” reads the official blurb, “Play because the devious Martians from the cult-classic universe of Mars Assaults™ and construct your amusement park empire, abducting people from throughout historical past to show in customizable enclosures for the leisure of curious Martian company. Research humanity of their pure habitat, or topic them to no matter twisted experiments you may think about!”

The sport’s official Steam web page talks about having the ability to abduct people from throughout quite a few historic intervals, akin to historical Rome and the Wild West.

The sport will launch into Early Entry subsequent yr with the staff promising that “The Early Entry model options many hours of content material and all the sport’s base methods, together with building, monetary and workers administration, human abductions, rides and facilities, visitor happiness, a number of maps, and extra.”

It’s a reasonably bizarre premise, however truthfully…I’m sort right here for it. Roll on 2025.
