For a certain type of person, the fantasy of building up your space agency from the ground up is very satisfying. Where a game like KSP focusses on the actual building and piloting, Mars Horizon focuses on research, funding, and mission planning. The mission mini-games get a little tedious after playing for a really long time, but luckily the game already accounts for that and you can automate them once you have reliable enough tech.
