Gameplay Basics

The essential premise and gameplay of Mars Horizon mainly revolves around space exploration, accomplishing various missions, and either teaming up or competing against other agencies.
Before the player starts a game, they can choose an agency (each of which having its own set of traits that make them unique) and then the difficulty. Once they start the game, the first mission of the player would be to launch a 'sounding rocket', which is the Test Launch mission. After that, the player can continue to do more missions over time and unlock more research, including buildings and vehicles.
While the player does this, they also have to keep track of resources, such as Funds (used for budgeting buildings and vehicles) and Science (for research).
The ultimate goal is to be the first or the best agency at space exploration. Keep in mind that the gameplay can be easier or harder, particularly given with the chosen difficulty, where if an easier difficulty is chosen, missions would be easier to accomplish and space agencies are less competitive, and vice versa for a harder difficulty.
Note that the entire game is divided into 4 eras. However, players who only have the demo can only access the first era, between January 1957 and January 1966, after completing the "Human in Space" mission.
