Calling all armchair engineers that have dreamed of going into space: Rover Mechanic Simulator will put you on Mars as you tinker with the rovers while exploring the colonies.

You’ll explicitly be working on the Mars rovers, so no need to fix the sparkplugs on a Mustang here. In the game from Pyramid Games S.A. and Ultimate Games S.A., you’ll be responsible for repairing and maintaining the rovers.
Based on blueprints from NASA, Rover Mechanic Simulator features many models that you can analyse and modify using 3D printers. If you’re up-to-speed, you can work with the Sojourner, Curiosity, Opportunity and Spirit. Sadly, no guns can be affixed to them. That I know of.
Our artists have spent several months studying actual NASA equipment to recreate it as faithfully as possible. Of course, we had to take some liberties in order to make the gameplay fun. A good case in point is that real-life rovers are designed for one-way trips only, yet in our game it is possible to fix them and bring them back to full operational capacity, so for example we replaced bolts with screws in order to make it possible.
