Oxygen, food, water, life will have to be cautiously manage but crafting items will allow you to spend more time out there and protect yourself.

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

ROKH challenges players to uncover the cause of the destruction of the previous Mars colonies, while building new ones and restoring communications with Earth - all while adapting to the hostile Martian environment and creating the tools they need to survive and thrive on the forbidding Red Planet.

The mega-update features new and improved servers for more stability, an in game chat feature, "Salvage" gameplay, and much more. Set on the planet Mars, ROKH features a persistent world and multiplayer co-op where players will explore the Martian way of life.

The ambitious exploration of the 150 square miles’ map based on data collected by NASA, offers breathtaking vistas setting the stage for settlers to aim for self-sufficiency and develop their own life support systems and economy.

Key Features:

  • UNIQUE SETTING: Explore Mars, a beautiful hostile planet and make it your home. From the majestic dunes to the frightening deep valley, you will visit memorable location to find your live saving resources. Don’t stay out too long, Mars can be even more deadly than a riffle gun should you get lost in a sandstorm or stuck out in a frozen night.
  • PERSISTENT SURVIVAL OF THE FITTEST… OR SMARTEST: Make sure that each and every of your moves serve one goal: survive! You will be in need of oxygen, food, water and you will have to protect yourself from heat, cold, radiation, wounds and so on. Mars will be offering you some resources but you will have to be smart and creative to access to the rest. And remember, there’s no pause in the game. Don’t leave your computer too long, things can happen...
  • CRAFT AND BUILD: Suits, robots, devices, weapons are craftable and customizable to your taste but first and foremost to your needs. Build smart shelter base by making sure your pipe system can welcome future add-ons. Some crafted devices can be socketed in your walls to give some extra capabilities to your base: automated or programmed tasks, heavier defence powers, survivability comfort or more…
  • FRIENDS OR FOES, PLAY WITH OTHERS: Join forces with your friends to mutualize the efforts and resources you put into surviving. Trade with other friendly crew to continue develop your own ecosystem. But some will be more onto domination. They will use every system available to loot your resources and base, from direct armed attack to a sneakier hacking program.

ROKH is currently available on Steam Early Access for $24.99 (USD)
