At its core, the game was derived from a simulator where everything is interactively tied together. You will have to setup and maintain <a href=\"http:\/\/www.hyperkat.com\/Colony\/mccinfo.html\" target=\"_blank\">the equipment<\/a> that supplies pressure and a breathable atmosphere to the base. You are also tasked with growing food, setting up communications and extracting resources in order to make the base self-sufficient. The game offers three zones, each with their unique challenges. There are 7 phases to each mission. Each of the phases expands the base and offers a new set of orders for you to complete. You advance through the ranks as you score points for your performance.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/hobbyspace.com\/Blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/03\/rover1.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"1217\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/hobbyspace.com\/Blog\/?attachment_id=1217\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/hobbyspace.com\/Blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/03\/rover1.png\" data-orig-size=\"400,314\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"rover[1]\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/hobbyspace.com\/Blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/03\/rover1-300x235.png\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/hobbyspace.com\/Blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/03\/rover1.png\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-1217\" alt=\"rover[1]\" src=\"http:\/\/hobbyspace.com\/Blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/03\/rover1.png\" width=\"400\" height=\"314\" srcset=\"https:\/\/hobbyspace.com\/Blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/03\/rover1.png 400w, https:\/\/hobbyspace.com\/Blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/03\/rover1-300x235.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/hobbyspace.com\/Blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/03\/Hyperkat-MarsColonyChallenger.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"1216\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/hobbyspace.com\/Blog\/?attachment_id=1216\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/hobbyspace.com\/Blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/03\/Hyperkat-MarsColonyChallenger.jpg\" data-orig-size=\"500,445\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"Hyperkat-MarsColonyChallenger\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/hobbyspace.com\/Blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/03\/Hyperkat-MarsColonyChallenger-300x267.jpg\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/hobbyspace.com\/Blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/03\/Hyperkat-MarsColonyChallenger.jpg\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-1216\" alt=\"Hyperkat-MarsColonyChallenger\" src=\"http:\/\/hobbyspace.com\/Blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/03\/Hyperkat-MarsColonyChallenger.jpg\" width=\"500\" height=\"445\" srcset=\"https:\/\/hobbyspace.com\/Blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/03\/Hyperkat-MarsColonyChallenger.jpg 500w, https:\/\/hobbyspace.com\/Blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/03\/Hyperkat-MarsColonyChallenger-300x267.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>HyperKat Games has released the Mars Colony Challenger Mars Colony: Challenger is a 3D first \/ third person game that offers you the challenge of setting up a remote base on the surface of Mars.
