Mars Horizon 2: The Search for Life is an authentic space management game where you lead a space agency. Your mission? The search for life. Comb the Solar System and trace biosignatures to prove there’s life out there. Explore different planets and moons, plan missions, build bases, launch rockets, design payloads, and make crucial discoveries.
Following on from Mars Horizon where you re-wrote history, now you’re going to be making history. Mars Horizon 2: The Search for Life is a game about exploration, learning, and discovery. Will you be the first to find evidence of life in our Solar System or will your rival agencies have their name etched in the history books instead?
You’re in charge of mission control; plan all the aspects of your missions to find anomalies, use satellites to reveal the terrain and rovers to make discoveries
Design rockets and customise specialised payloads to ensure you have the right vehicles for your exploratory missions
Build and manage your bases on planets across the Solar System. Make your mission as efficient as possible with buildings such as extra-terrestrial laboratories, launch pads, and more!
Every launch is an exciting opportunity to propel your agency and exploration further into the Solar System
Follow the clues, perform experiments, and discover biosignatures that get you closer to discovery of life – how will you be able to prove the existence of life in our Solar System?
Conduct tests, gather samples, explore the surface, expand your bases… until you discover life
Adapt your mission as you explore different celestial bodies and make decisions on the best way to identify life as you uncover more evidence
Face and overcome hazardous landscapes to ensure your success - will your mission survive the perils of space exploration, and will your payloads hold out?
Now that you know what is required for this mission, will you be the one to make that monumental discovery? Take to the Solar System and embark on the scientific journey for the ages.
