Waking Mars - GameClub

Great game wish they made sequel or something. Type of game you will play a few times per year after year.

The game is listed as “free” on the app store, but it isn’t. As a pathetic attempt to advertise their subscription service for a handful of mobile games, they paywall practically the entirety of the game.

Because of game club you have to pay a subscription to play it and in my opinion having to pay a subscription just to play a game is already a terrible idea but also, they pretty much waste your time if you aren’t willing to pay because there is no obvious warning that you will have to be part of game club and even once you download it, it only tells you that after the opening cut scene if they wanted to make people pay to play it, they either should’ve just made a paid game or at least put a warning so people who aren’t willing to pay aren’t just going to end up wasting their cellular data and time downloading something. Another thing they could’ve easily done was just do what some other games do witches have a free version where you can only play a bit of the game but it’s enough to let you know if you want to pay the subscription rather than doing what they ended up doing, which is just a bad idea.

I used to LOVE this game! I played it on my ipad all the time! The gameplay is incredible, love the sound design— this game is perfect… …Or, WAS perfect. Once Gameclub got this game, they make you pay a subscription to play it. I just tried downloading it on my iphone and I WASTED a bunch of my cellular data to download a game that I did not recognize at all. They make you log in or get a subscription just to start the game! What they SHOULD have done (and I would be fine with this) is allow you to play the game for free, no subscription or trial, but have ads whenever you enter another chamber. But no, they make you have a subscription. I am not about to pay $5 a month just to play my favorite mobile game ever. I’m just glad I managed to get 100% on my game before Gameclub got hold of it. And no, I do not want to get any of the free mobile games. Most of them are scams/shameless repeats and the rest are just moronic. This was one of the few games that was actually good on ios, now it is just ruined. Thanks SO much, Gameclub. I would rate this 0 stars if I could.

Thank you GameClub, for ruining an amazing game.

Waking Mars is a unique and brilliant game that gives you the true feeling of exploring Mars. Also contains a deep strategic game for which there is no equal

Phenomenal game. Even all these years later. Wondering if anyone knows what the total biomass available is? I achieved a 33,805 total biomass and a core power 72, which I believe is max for core power. Anyone know what the maximum would be for biomass?

I harmte pay 2 win games they sucker you i to thinking the game is free and then you realize its not at leadt set a price on the app.

If you really want to play Waking Mars, and you dont mind playing on desktop instead of mobile, then the same exact game is available on Steam without needing a stupid “subscription”. Literally the the only difference between them is the controls. Otherwise the steam version shares the exact same story, art and alien ecosystem. That said Waking Mars was a fun game years ago, now it forces new users to get a stupid subscription, while spamming older users begging them to try their dumb service.

Too bad.
