Million on Mars Review: Check the Game’s Current Status

Million on Mars is a settlement-building game about establishing a community on Mars. You can claim land, construct buildings, gather regolith and ice, grow food, craft equipment and develop skills such as robotics, life science and fabrication. Missions and achievements give you additional goals, while a player-to-player marketplace is intended to let you buy, sell and trade resources and crafted items.

The game presents its terrain as based on real Mars data and its economy as shaped by player activity. It also describes NFT assets on Solana, WAX and Polygon. Dusk appears in the description of settlement progression, but the classification lists no token; do not assume it is a freely tradable crypto token. The project says it is building Million on Mars 2, so confirm which game features and assets are currently usable before treating these descriptions as a present-day feature list.

Million on Mars does not publish a clear fee schedule in its product information. That leaves the total cost uncertain: land or item prices, any marketplace charges, and network fees may all matter if you acquire or trade NFTs. Blockchain transactions can carry network fees set by the relevant chain, separate from any charge the game or marketplace may impose.

The site describes Dusk as part of settlement progression, but does not give a conversion rate or enough detail to treat it as a cash-equivalent asset. Before spending, check the current in-game price, whether a purchase is refundable, and what fees apply to listing, trading or moving an NFT. If you cannot find those terms, avoid committing money until the project makes them clear.

Million on Mars describes NFT ownership and offers a choice between managing blockchain assets yourself and leaving blockchain management to the company. Self-management gives you direct control of your wallet, but also means you must protect your keys and verify each transaction. Company-managed assets may be easier to handle, but the project does not explain the custody safeguards in the product information.

The project does not identify an independent audit or publish security details for its custody option there. That is not proof of a specific security problem, but it does mean you should not treat the company-managed option as equivalent to holding assets in a wallet you control. Read the current terms, check who can access or transfer each asset, and verify ownership on the relevant chain before transferring valuable NFTs. Do not send assets until you understand how they can be recovered if you lose access.

The game describes assets on Solana, WAX and Polygon, but does not provide a clear current setup path or explain which wallets and game functions work on each chain. Check the official getting-started and player-guide materials for current wallet support, account requirements and any chain-specific instructions. Make sure a wallet supports the chain and asset type before connecting it or approving a transaction.

The site’s current direction also matters: it says the team is building Million on Mars 2, without clearly setting out the present playable state or what will carry over. That makes it difficult to judge the current onboarding experience, gameplay availability or asset migration. Confirm those points before creating or funding an account. The project’s core idea is straightforward, but you should not assume every feature described for the game is available in the new version today.

The game’s strongest fit is for players who like long-term building, production chains and trading more than fast-paced action. Gathering raw materials and turning them into equipment gives the settlement loop a practical focus, while professions and missions add progression. The real-Mars-terrain theme and citizen-science framing may also appeal if you want a game built around engineering and exploration concepts.

The main drawback is uncertainty around the transition to Million on Mars 2. The project does not clearly explain what is currently playable, what has changed, or whether existing assets will carry over. Costs and custody safeguards also need more clarity before you buy or transfer NFTs. If you want an established, fully documented game economy with a clear fee schedule and migration policy, choose something else unless Million on Mars provides those details first.
