Walkthrough
Before our young astronaut quartet with significant personal conflicts departs for Mars, our leader reassures us that although compromises were made to make our spacecraft operational, it should function adequately. It sort of does, which aptly represents the game itself. In this puzzle-solving, platforming, cosmic adventure, attempting to achieve too much with too little results in a performance that barely exceeds sufficient.
Our brave, occasionally charming protagonist, Kathy, was split from her father Isaac right before his journey to colonize Mars. Having trained as an astronaut on an environmentally devastated Earth, a cryptic message from Isaac prompts her and her older sister, Claire, to join a mission to retrieve the colony ships. Throughout, intermittent flashbacks effectively reveal their family's complex and troubled history.
The Cape Canaveral launch sequence is particularly impressive, involving authentic pre-launch checks and procedures viewed through the cockpit as the Zephyr ascends seamlessly into space, without any breaks. These procedures aren't taught beforehand, causing initial confusion as I searched for specific controls, but mastering them felt rewarding.
Beyond these controlled scenes, the game involves exploring a Mars orbit station and the planet's surface through first- and third-person perspectives, with straightforward puzzles and some vexing platforming. Transmitting power wirelessly to unlock new areas is usually easy, yet solving the more challenging puzzles is gratifying.
However, the climbing mechanics are less pleasing. You need to simultaneously click both mouse buttons to cling to walls, ensuring enough space to prevent slipping. This process feels arbitrarily effective, with some jumps requiring precise angles. Moreover, essential techniques for advancing in later stages are not instructed and only discovered through trial and error. A helpful hint: Holding 'S' and pressing the spacebar lets you jump backward to a wall.
Would I leave Earth for Mars? Not really. Would I consider it? Maybe. Am I eager to sign up? Absolutely. Does it depend on Mars' leadership? Certainly. These options reflect the directionless paths within the game's narrative, where players are often left without clear guidance, wandering off course. The game provides an accessibility option for permanent quest markers, which, while not ideal, suggests a need for a balanced approach to navigation instructions, particularly when directed to vague locations like Ark Vita.
The character performances are commendable, especially Neil Newborn as Isaac and Ellise Chappell as Kathy, who deliver depth and emotion. However, the character models struggle to match the quality of the voice acting, exhibiting a doll-like, uncanny appearance that often detracts from the experience. The use of nondescript, holographic crash test dummies for delivering backstory feels like placeholder content that was never finalized.
Graphical performance also falls short, particularly in cutscenes where my high-end gaming system saw significant frame rate drops, despite being well above the recommended specifications. This lack of optimization extends to various gameplay elements, with troublesome climbing mechanics and irregular platforming disrupting the flow of otherwise engaging puzzles and exploration.
In conclusion, while the intriguing mystery and strong vocal performances provide some redemption, Deliver Us Mars ultimately fails to fully engage, hindered by technical issues and underdeveloped visuals. The game feels like it has attempted to tackle more than it was capable of, much like an astronaut biting into too much freeze-dried food.
