"Cleverly titled Mars Attracts, this newly released theme park management sim lets you abduct humans from throughout history and build a theme park around displaying them like animals while also experimenting on them in horrible ways for science. And also to provide entertainment to your depraved Martian guests. And after spending a few hours with Mars Attracts, I'm both excited to play more and also disturbed by how quickly I turned on humanity in the pursuit of building the coolest theme park on Mars."
"Mars Attacts isn't based on the '90s Mars Attacks movie directly, but instead is based on the original trading cards that inspired Tim Burton's cult classic film, so don't expect Pierce Brosnan and Sarah Jessica Parker to pop up at any point. Instead, Mars Attracts uses the OG card art and lore as its foundation to build out a wild theme park management simulator. And all of the new in-game art created for Mars Attracts is fantastic, perfectly emulating the old look of the cards."
Mars Attracts is a theme-park management simulator that combines sci-fi elements with dark humor and exploitation mechanics. Players abduct humans from varied historical periods using UFOs and time travel, then display them in exhibits and run experiments for science and entertainment. The game draws on the original Mars Attacks trading card art and lore, visually emulating the classic card style with new in-game illustrations. Gameplay resembles Zoo Tycoon and Two Point Hospital, emphasizing park layout, guest satisfaction, and research. The experience is fun and engaging but shows rough edges in polish. The tone balances playful creativity with disturbing ethical choices.
