Research new tech, expand your agency base, build rockets, send satellites into orbit, and launch a variety of missions. As the player, you’re in charge of every element of the journey into space.

Critic Reviews
Nintendojo
ByThough it isn’t the perfect space game, it’s a pretty darn good one. It gives you so much to think about, but it never feels overwhelming thanks to the three difficulty settings. A casual player will have a great time with the Explorer setting, whereas fans of resource management games who love to strategize will enjoy the Veteran setting. The game is also educational and a great way to get newcomers interested in space.

By Joel A. DeWitteIts systems are light enough to not be overwhelming, and even if they become too much for you, a well-defined tutorial does a good job of holding your hand as you get a grasp of things. The core problem and one that brings this down from a great game to simply fine is just how little control you get over actual launches. If there was more agency in that side of things, then this would be a no-brainer recommendation.

By Branislav Koh�tVery realistic game about history and near future of cosmonautic. Amusing expeditions in space.
Generación Xbox
By Gabriel FuentesMars Horizon fulfills with originality a mission almost as difficult as sending a manned mission to outer space, which is to transform the management of a space program into something attractive and fun for a large number of people, even those who are not very into the subject . The most negative aspect that I see, is that even today this type of management simulator, especially with this theme, falls into a very niche audience and perhaps does not become as massive as it should, judging by its quality.
PlayStation Universe
By Alan StrawbridgeA space agency simulator which overcomes its PC roots and primitive presentation to become a highly addictive and original strategy game. Packed with space facts and sprinklings of humour, Mars Horizon is a joy to dip into for both young and old and your thumbs can rest while your brain takes over.
