Rokh Wants To Challenge You To Survive On Mars

Rokh is a "multiplayer persistent survival sandbox game" set on Mars. Or rather, it will be if its Kickstarter succeeds. The game is described as follows.

Playing on persistent servers, you will experience a truly sandbox experience. No mission or quest here, define your own goals according to your own needs! And to succeed, find your own way to play with the many game systems available.

As a newcomer on ROKH and its Mars Colonization Program, you must find ways to survive by exploring Mars in your basic astronaut suit, looking for resources. Oxygen, food, water – all your life support systems will have to be cautiously managed.

Build your base alone or with your crew to have a better chance of living the big life on this hostile planet.

Crafting items will allow you to spend more time outside and protect yourself.

Trade with other players and do your best to maintain peace; you would not want to fight with your fellows in such a hostile environment.

It's a novel idea and one that seems to want to be more than just "DayZ on Mars." It seems as if it is attempting to be a fully realized survival simulation of sorts.

Rewards for backers are fairly standard. You can get the game for €10 if you're one of the first 700 pledges. Higher pledges include more copies of the game, various exclusive in-game items, and the ability to either get your face in-game or design a weapon for the game.

The team behind it is currently asking for $114,803 to be able to put more resources into the game and increase the scope of the Early Access release, as well as to attempt to bring some "game industry partners" on board. As of this writing, it is sitting at $1,908 pledged.
