Got bored very quickly. Too simplistic for the price. Graphics are meh. After first couple of planets it just gets repetitive (for me at least). One of the few games I just did not wish to continue. Might be not my style of game in the first place, even though I can spend 1k hours on idlers…..and I played many space strategy games already including some free super simplistic ones. My guess it might be the gameplay that killed it for me.

A bite-sized, distilled microcosm of city-builder style RTS, and the associated delicate balancing act of attack, defense, and economy. It is tremendously fun to play, and it is very easy to get into the flow of. The game has a very good difficulty curve. The opponent isn't so good as to make the game difficult per-se, but it will punish you if you play like a doofus. You will very quickly pick up on how to optimize your play, and making builds to get high-scores on each of the planets is a lot of fun. The resource system is really cool, and adds a lot of depth to the game. Your resource towers generate energy -- which is infinite -- but mines increase your score and is finite. Figuring out how to secure mines while increasing your energy income without dying OR killing your opponent too quickly is super fun, although I wish that there was some punishment from throwing lvl 1 mines down seconds before the enemy base is destroyed. It feels like it undercuts the balancing act of securing the resources vs. getting energy. Maybe if a secured mine only gave 80-90% of the unmined resources at the end this would be fixed, but maybe that would drag out matches too long, I dunno, I'm …

I have a problem with the pricetag. The game itself is alright but when you charge 12$ you set some expectations. It feels that content is lacking, there are no updates and it is abandoned. It did not feel worth my time AND my money. I guess you can blame it on oversaturated market, but it is what it is. In 2025 for 12$ this pretty but still lundum dare grade project receives a thumbs down.

Element to "RTS dla ludzi, którzy nie mają czasu grać w RTS-y". Rozgrywka jest bardzo prosta i bardzo szybka. Dwa surowce, trzy typy jednostek, ale możliwość budowania wszędzie, nawet bezpośrednio w bazie przeciwnika. To ciekawa destylacja gatunku i esencja skirmishu. Rozgrywka toczy się na niewielkich planetach z garstką surowców. Widać tylko ograniczony jej kawałek, więc trzeba nią ciągle obracać, by rozeznać się w sytuacji. Jednostki i budowle tylko się rozmieszcza oraz wybiera ich typ, bez sprawowania bezpośredniej kontroli nad nimi. Najważniejszy jest ogólny zarys wojny, nie zaś szczegóły bitwy. W jednym miejscu stawia się działo obronne i laser orbitalny, by szybko odbić kopalnię na drugim krańcu planety. Dzięki temu gra sprawdza się jako punkt wejścia dla nowych graczy oraz szybką odskocznię od obowiązków.

I like this game, the fast paced, simple RTS is a great feel that is unique. but. there is not enough in the game for the price. and, the 2 last planets are crazy bs on difficulty. so yeah, while I think it's neat, I would NOT recommend it.

A really interesting strategy game with cool mechanics and a nice art style. A bit low on content for full price though.

Games like Undertale that remember what you did

Undertale's own listing calls it the RPG where you don't have to destroy anyone. Games like Undertale that keep that idea: permanent choices, fights you can talk past, worlds that notice.

Games like Slay the Spire that keep the branching climb

Most games like Slay the Spire copy the cards and lose the map. These keep the risky-or-safe choice, from a three-floor train to a deck made of poker hands.

Games like Dying Light, where nightfall changes the rules

Games like Dying Light are easy to find if you only want parkour or only want zombies. These eight keep the part that matters: a city that becomes a different place after dark.

Games like Portal 2, where one idea carries the whole game

Games like Portal 2 all share one habit: teach a single impossible trick, then spend a campaign breaking it. From rewinding objects through time to Escher geometry that loops back on itself.

Planet Coaster DLC: skip the collection, buy the packs

The Planet Coaster DLC catalogue closed in 2019, so there is no curve left to wait out. Our record shows the collection bundle costs far more than assembling the same packs one by one.
