Rating and Reviews (Monthly)
This graph shows Mars Base's Steam rating and reviews between October 2022 and December 2023. Steam's rating is in a range going from 64.2% (October 2022) to 57.8% (December 2023).
With its 38 reviews, Mars Base might be a success for a hobbyist, or a small indie success if it was made in a short amount of time. The chart looks like a long tail distribution, which sometimes means that the marketing was concentrated on the game launch and then stopped, and that no major update or discounts followed.
Review Languages
This donut graph displays the languages of Mars Base's Steam reviews. The most popular language is English (58%), followed by Simplified Chinese (18%). There is diversity in the review languages, with 9 languages represented. The game is translated in 6 languages. Considering that, unless the game is text-heavy, adding translations is not a lot of work compared to making a game, it is often a good idea to translate the game in many languages.
Time Played
This chart displays the number of hours played in Mars Base depending if the reviewer left a positive or a negative review. The time played is decent, reaching 8 hours in the 80th percentile.
The negative reviews play time is 3.9 times lower than the positive reviews median play time. When the negative review time is low (median : 74 minutes), it can be a sign that the game crashes on some systems or that players misunderstood the nature of the game (Does the Steam page clearly explain it, with gifs and a gameplay video ?). It can also mean that some players were somehow offended by Mars Base and decided to review it and get a refund under 2 hours.
