The year is 2379. Mars has been terraformed, and now its citizens can live openly on the surface. But while more people are arriving every day, a sickness festers in the heart of the new world: corruption runs rampant, and the people of Mars increasingly chafe under the yoke of Earth's control. It's clear that something has to change, a massive shift in the future of Mars is brewing, but no one quite knows what that future will look like. Into this power vacuum have risen several powerful factions, each with their own vision for what Mars could be. Some advocate working with the United Nations and solving Mars's problems diplomatically, others see Mars as the ultimate resource to be exploited by the growing transnational corporations of Earth, and still others envision a Martian utopia unlike anything in the history of the homeworld. As the leader of one of Mars's most powerful factions you have the opportunity to decide the fate of an entire world. But rest assured: yours is not the only vision of a better tomorrow, and those who do not share your goals will be working to stop you at every turn. Beginning from a single safehouse, you can recruit agents, train them, send them on missions, expand your influence into cities around the world, and transform your small operation into a global powerhouse. Then, when the time is right, begin your bid for power and try to take over Mars! ## Key features - Recruit and train agents - Complete strategic missions - Expand faction influence - Compete for control of Mars - Shape the future of a world ## Pricing and in-app purchases Base price: Free. **One-time purchases** | Purchase | Price | Type | | --- | --- | --- | | 10 Favors | $0.99 | one-time | | 50 Favors | $4.99 | one-time | | 200 Favors | $9.99 | one-time | | 500 Favors | $19.99 | one-time | | 10 Favors | $0.99 | one-time | | 50 Favors | $4.99 | one-time | | 200 Favors | $9.99 | one-time | | 500 Favors | $19.99 | one-time | ## Recent user reviews (10 of 14) All indexed reviews: https://appshunter.io/ios/app/operation-ares-a-revolution-on-mars-recruit-spies-complete-missions-and-gain-independence/id1086492794/reviews.md ### 3/5 — Sound plays on mute *2023-10-01* A sound still plays on mute even though I have the sound on my iPad mute. Very disappointing ### 5/5 — Fun *2022-12-16* It was okay ### 2/5 — Why *2020-08-09* Why does it beep every time i click and i cant turn it down ### 4/5 — Agree with the comment read beforehand needs something warlike *2020-05-09* They didn’t want to piggyback this was a great app but the only thing I was able to see was a little bit of a map and lots of choices and not enough visual effects and the app just got me to go through my life again because it was so much better than anything else I ever had to do with it and it was fun to play with my friends and family and it would get me excited for more people to come and see me and I have a good time. I don’t know how much money to get you guys to come back to the new one so I’ll be there next time you come in and I’ll be there for sure. Hey sorry to say I was going on my way to a meeting but I’m not sure if you have time for you to come and see you or something else. ### 5/5 — Espionage on Mars *2019-04-17* Much like the previous game in this franchise, it’s very enjoyable. It is relatively basic at this point but I suspect over time it will begin to be flushed out with more features. ### 4/5 — Potential Sequel? *2018-10-20* A lot of it seems to be copied from Terra Genesis ### 4/5 — Poned más idiomas *2018-06-25* La app me parece fantástica y está bien pero le faltan idiomas So lo añadiis le pongo 100000000000000000 estrellas ### 4/5 — Good but could be much more *2017-12-10* I love this game, but it could be more, such as better home screen allowing you to delete games, custom city names, random of events from earth that can help and hurt you. Another thing you could add is a “war setting” instead of spies or secret war why not an actually war? Like building armies and battling for major and minor cities, or combine the two into an interesting game. Well that’s my rant and ideas but I would like a game like this for earth in this time line, like the nationalist rising up like the free sons, the UN trying to become a world government, and some corporation or cult making the world bigger and adding more spies and missions ### 5/5 — All it needs is... *2017-05-21* Needs more specialties and A LOT more unit and mission slides per city. ### 4/5 — Addictive *2017-05-07* Great app. ## Frequently asked questions about Operation Ares ### What is Operation Ares about?
