It's important to mention that it's a Haemimont game and they have now plenty of experience with City-builders. I expect a solid game on release already unlike many other games published by Paradox.

RPS has an article w/link to a Gamescom gameplay trailer. https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/2017/08/27/meteors-rain-on-the-red-planet-in-surviving-mars-trailer/

I'm usually pretty patient about release dates etc. but I want this NOW!

Release date is March 15, 2018 according to an e-mail I got from Paradox.

I watched a couple preview let's play videos and it looks good.  Reminds me of Banished on Mars, which is just what I want.

Surviving Mars is get to be released any minute  O0

i am watching preview Let's Plays since a week and got real exited about it  ...and impulse bough it this morn  :D
here is a good Let's play by a for Grogheads maybe also well known and trusted youtuber,  Mr. DasTactic



i like the Mars & science theme paired with tranquillity to watch (you can micro but you don't have too) how things unfold and the challenge ...and it looks very good and cute too when zooming in and horizontal view at the landscape

not a wargame some one might say
but i saw a start screen at YT that spoke about an invasion as one of the possible random events for the mid?/end? game you can chose from 
well, i didn't wanted to spoil my experience so i didn't opened the video in question of that preview series
(IIRC  it was number #22 with 40 min episodes each so i guess those thing happen quite some good time into the game)

I pre-bought too, hopefully get to fire it up tonight after work.

It's not Tropico, that's for sure. It's pretty solid, but oddly unambitious and the early game can be a bit slow (and then the late game lacks drive).

I miss Juanito.

It's still pretty good, but it'll either get better over time through DLC (a la PDS titles) or the next one will be great (a la Tropico 4 vs. T3).
