I've seen glimpses of it when everything works correctly, but at the moment I can't recommend Planetary Annihilation without a warning that it's bound to disappoint and frustrate, even if you do teach yourself to play it.The last couple of balance changes have resulted in some most interesting tactics emerging on the galactic battlefields! I know that there's a great, massive RTS beneath all these issues. It's hard to find multiplayer matches, especially with eight players like I want, and when I do, one player crashes, or one planet just refuses to render, appearing as a black box. I zoomed in now and again to witness the satisfying explosions and projectiles up close, but if I was trying to be practical, combat was abstracted.Īnd then there's almost always some technical hitch that ruins everything anyway. However, with enough units, the only way to manage them is zooming way out, at which point they appear as small, simple icons. It's like every unit is the corgi version of its real life counterpart, though it's still intimidating to see hundreds of them storm your base at once. When it's working, PA mostly does a great job of presenting these battles by going for "cute" rather than "badass." Tanks don't look like chrome death machines, but stunted toys in bright, primary colors. It's overwhelming, but I enjoyed Planetary Annihilation most when there were too many things to do, and the only limit on what was possible was how fast my brain could process information. The endgame, especially with multiple players, is a challenge of managing manufacturing, doomsday weapons, and infrastructure in one part of the solar system, while directing a vicious ground war in another.Ī picture-in-picture mode let me keep tabs on both at any time. If two players have two separate planets locked down, invading a third, uninhabited planet provides extra resources and another manufacturing center. Even massive invasions consisting of hundreds of orbital fighters are blown out of the sky. Sending a couple of units to build a portal works in the early game, but you can't get to the ground and build one once the enemy has complete radar cover and orbital guns. Invading an enemy planet is the most interesting new problem Planetary Annihilation introduces. The widest view in the game showing the system and units moving between planets. An air force, meanwhile, can come out of nowhere, level an outpost, and disappear just as fast, but it can't travel between planets. Bots, for example, are excellent in rushing, while a steady trickle of tanks can destroy any base as long as it keeps coming. It's a negligible difference, but the tech tree is wide enough to let players specialize along parallel paths. The only distinction between opponents is the variation in commanders, which have different constructing or combat abilities.

It didn't do the best job of explaining different strategies, but it did force me to experiment with aerial and naval units by staggering access to the full tech tree.

After every match, I got to choose which system to attack next and upgrade my army with pieces of tech that are all available in multiplayer.

The Galactic War mode is a series of AI matches tied with a 2D galactic map that for some reason slowed my framerate down to single digits. Since you can't save the game in the middle of a battle, I lost about 30 minutes of progress.
