With the first Memories of Mars closed beta nearing, 505 Games and Limbic Entertainment are working hard to ensure that players have unique ways to play. Devs have introduced their own twist on the survival genre with the introduction of Seasons, periodic solar flares that "wipe the planet's surface of all life and player-made infrastructures on an ongoing basis".
Some of the talents and abilities learned through the season can be backed up and carried over by a series of clones, allowing players the ability to download previous memories of how to build and craft to get a head start on surviving the next season.
Memories of Mars will task players with surviving the harsh and unforgiving landscape of the Red Planet while building a habitable homestead and competing against other players and enemy NPCs for resources and opportunities.
