Evaluation

Terraformers launched into Early Access and officially released version 1.0 on March 9, 2023. Since then, the developer (Asteroid Lab) released three paid DLC expansions: New Frontiers (January 25, 2024), Megastructures (October 23, 2024), and Independence (April 16, 2026). On April 16, 2026 — the same day the Independence DLC launched — the developer published a post explicitly calling it "the final Terraformers DLC." On March 9, 2026, when announcing the Independence DLC, they also referred to it as "the final Terraformers DLC." Following the Independence release, the developer has continued issuing bug fix and balance patches (most recently on May 5, 2026), but no new content has been announced or hinted at. A May 5, 2026 patch (1.7.82) even included the note "Removed the 'more content to come' at the end of the game," which reinforces the developer's intent that content development is now complete. A Terraformers Collection bundle was also launched alongside the final DLC, packaging the base game, all three DLCs, and the Supporter Pack together. With the developer explicitly stating this was the final DLC, all announced content now shipped, and post-launch patches focused purely on bug fixes and balance, the game's content is complete as of April 16, 2026.

About this game





  • Send your leaders to mysterious locations and uncover rich resource depots, giant crystal caves and stunning natural wonders.
  • Found new cities on craters and in lava Tubes. Make them thrive and meet your population's rising demands.
  • As the planet is procedurally generated, every new playthrough will be unique.



  • Choose the best buildings from a selection of randomly proposed project cards at the start of every turn.
  • Plan your city layout efficiently and find strong synergies between buildings.
  • Grow your cities into utopian metropolises or industrial settlements automated by robots.



  • Restart a volcano, construct giant space mirrors or nuke the poles to geo-engineer the entire planet.
  • From spreading adaptive bacteria, to planting full-grown forests with bears. Each life form has specific requirements and provides strategic benefits.





  • By making this game, we hope to inspire humankind to take its first steps out of the cradle and become an interplanetary species, starting with Mars! Do you want to join the terraforming movement, get updates about the game development? Then join our Discord server!
