Planetaries

I wanted to like this game, and if it wasnt abandon ware, i might have. Its the start of a good game, but then goes way off the rails. So much missing or wrong.

The game has a lot of potential but I don't know if the author gave up on it or what. What I like. The size of the world. The visuals, the weapon handling. It's great. What I would like to see though is for the author to either pick it up or sell it to someone so they can finish it off. So recommend "Yes" with the caveat that the author has begun to update it again.
