Indie space strategy game with tower defense elements in which you control a small ship, explore the universe, defend your planet from asteroids, and colonize other worlds ✅15 levels ✅Good price for the large number of levels ✅Ability to develop your character and purchase upgrades ❌Very weak tutorial that doesn't explain what you should be doing at all ❌Gameplay is repetitive because subsequent levels often follow the same path and a single strategy works for most challenges ❌Most items available for purchase are useless. ❌The soundtrack cannot be turned off ❌The game lacks a map or radar to guide the player where to go ❌❌ Verdict: [strike] Very Bad [/strike] , [b] Bad [/b] , [strike] Average [/strike] , [strike] Decent [/strike] , [strike] Good [/strike] , [strike] Very Good [/strike] (Rating scale for tested games) If you have any questions about my reviews, feel free to ask. I'm happy to answer them. All reviews are my own!! Best regards, King Viking Bezimienny, Polish Game Reviewer.

Forbidden Planet is a small-scale space strategy and defense game developed and published by Faton that embraces modest ambition and systems-driven play over spectacle. Rather than positioning itself as a full-fledged 4X or grand strategy experience, the game narrows its focus to the constant tension between expansion and survival, asking players to grow a fragile interstellar presence while fending off relentless cosmic threats. From the outset, the game establishes a sense of vulnerability, placing your home planet at the center of a hostile universe where every decision carries long-term consequences. The core gameplay revolves around piloting a central spacecraft while overseeing the growth and protection of your planetary network. Exploration plays a key role, as you venture outward to locate new planets, gather resources, and extend your influence across nearby systems. Each newly colonized world offers benefits, but also increases the complexity of your defensive responsibilities. The game constantly pressures you to weigh ambition against safety, as spreading too quickly can leave vital locations exposed to asteroids, hostile entities, or cascading failures that ripple thr…

Forbidden Planet is disappointing, with outdated graphics and clunky gameplay. The story is unengaging, and the overall experience feels dull and uninspired. Not worth playing for those seeking a fun or immersive game.
