Coming in at number four is Destiny. This game combines the thrill of exploring Mars with the joy of collecting loot. You’ll battle alien races, discover ancient secrets, and probably spend too much time deciding which helmet looks the coolest. Destiny is more than a game; it’s a Mars-based fashion show with guns.

3. Mass Effect 3

Oh, the drama! Mass Effect 3 brings a blend of storytelling and action to our Martian landscape. You’re not just shooting things on Mars; you’re saving entire civilizations. It’s like being the main character in an intergalactic soap opera, but with more explosions and fewer love triangles.

2. Doom

Now, let’s talk about a classic – Doom. This game is like the angry, adrenaline-fueled uncle of Mars-based shooters. It’s all about ripping and tearing through demons on Mars until it’s done. If you’re looking for subtlety, look elsewhere. Doom is about as subtle as a chainsaw at a library.

1. Red Faction
