About this game

What this game is, in the developer's words

This DLC for SpaceEngine improves the texture resolution of Mars and its satellites, Phobos and Deimos.

This Mars HD DLC (addon) contains high-resolution maps of Mars and its satellites, Phobos and Deimos. It improves the level of detail of the Martian surface compared to the default SpaceEngine installation, and replaces the low-quality JPEG textures for Mars and its moons with high-quality PNG ones.
