Itโs time to launch into space and try to be the first agency to Mars! Mars Horizon is a strategy simulation game where you lead a major space agency as you guide humanity to Mars. Construct a base, design and build rockets, conduct missions throughout the Solar System, and write your own history of Space exploration.
Mars Horizon was created with support from the European Space Agency (ESA) and the UK Space Agency and developed by Auroch Digital & published by The Irregular Corporation.
