Idk about Mars but that was definitely the experience on Venus (which was far more understandable since they were sending metal balls that would be crushed under pressure within minutes). Only survived about 2-3/10.
Feels like Mars eats most probes. Mars96 and Mars polar observer come to kind immediately. I believe my name was on a cd on one of them as an early internet thing you could do. Never made it to mars.
But I wouldn't count the Venus probes as failures. Initially, they had no idea what the conditions would be like, so they built more and more robust probes until they did manage to land on the surface without dying immediately.
