Speaking of weapons, there are 12 of them. New weapons, new enemies, new environment, new story etc. What I find impressive for a DLC is that they revamped pretty much everything. For the best experience, I recommend starting out on hard or normal difficulty. There’s not a lot of cover in the desert and the Alien Queens are tough to take down (they are like bosses). It’s not super hard, but certainly hard enough that you will die more than in the main game. I would say this DLC on hard difficulty is harder than any Far Cry game so far. Still, they provide more of a challenge than any recent Far Cry game. This adds at least a little bit a variety, even though they all look pretty much identical. There are a few different types of these space crabs and at 50% story completion they mutate to a stronger form. They are literally like crabs, they can melee-attack and throw projectiles at you from afar. I would’ve loved to see weather effects like sandstorms or whirlwinds. That would’ve made the game feel more alive as the basic desert landscape doesn’t bring out the game engine’s true power. There are a few man-made structures here and there but they all look much the same. Mars is (obviously) just an empty planet of deserts and mountains. Not too long that it becomes a drag, not too short that it wouldn’t be worth the price. That’s okay though, the 5-6 hours are just right. There’s no point in going around Mars for a second time to turn on the same 19 Antennas. Unlike the Vietnam DLC, this one has no replay value at all. Not bad at all for a DLC! If you then go for all the trophies/achievements (which require you to find all collectibles) it’s another 1-2 hours. The Mars story lasts a good 5 hours on easy/normal. The story is more fleshed-out than the Vietnam DLC. While funny at times, it’s annoying at other times. Weapons have names such as ‘Nut Hugger’, ‘Iron Fister’, and ‘Cock Blocker’. The money is called “Space Jizz” which is green goo you find from crates and killing Aliens.
The developers have a good sense of humor. So Nick carries the head around and to finish the story your only goal is activating the 19 Antennas and finding 12 of Hurk’s body parts to ‘put him back together’. So his buddy Nick is the last hope to save humanity. Hurk got his body parts eaten by Aliens though. For the AI to fully work, 19 Antennas have to be turned on around the red planet. See, Hurk went to Mars to help a robot AI that told him it’s protecting earth from an Alien invasion. You play as Nick Rye and have to help Hurk. Suddenly a cow appears on the road in front of him and Hurk teleports him up to Mars. Nick Rye is driving on a road at night, minding his own business. The story starts off with a short cutscene in comic style, just like the first DLC.
You may remember there were Aliens in the main game already (clearly in preparation for this DLC it seems). This expansions is available as part of the season pass or can be bought separately for $9,99. A copy of Far Cry 5 the main game is required to play it. Lost on Mars is the second DLC (downloadable content) for Far Cry 5.
