- Planetary Annihilation is a good, challenging RTS designed along very familiar lines. True, its best qualities can be obscured in the early going by its unforgiving difficulty and the absence of good tutorials, but even when you're overwhelmed, speedy combat and smart AI reel you in. Give it time, and the fast and furious combat smooth out the rough edges into a compelling and challenging strategy game.
Brett Todd · Oct 31, 2014 Reviewed on PCRead full review - And then there's almost always some technical hitch that ruins everything anyway. 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. ...Should have been a great, massive RTS in the tradition of Total Annihilation and Supreme Commander, but crippled by technical issues.
Emanuel Maiberg · Oct 03, 2014 Reviewed on PCRead full review - Lacking some basic features and low on playability thanks to the central gimmick, Planetary Annihilation is a poor pretender to Supreme Commander's crown. A cool idea about robot armies battling across an entire solar system breaks apart when the realities of controlling multiple worlds at the same time set in.
Rob Zacny · Sep 17, 2014 Reviewed on PCRead full review - There’s a great game in here, somewhere. Rapidly getting into jaw-droppingly huge wars spanning multiple worlds is brilliant – it really is. And there’s no other RTS that gives players so much destructive power. But the lack of tactical depth and focus on constantly rushing makes Planetary Annihilation tiring.
Fraser Brown · Sep 17, 2014 Reviewed on PCRead full review - The entire game is like this. Strategy takes a backseat to speed, efficiency and swarming your opponents. None of which is inherently terrible, and a lot of people will look past this for the chance to simply experience an epic 5v5 game, or a similarly mad 2v2v2v2v2v2v2. But it's still a style of play that massively limits Planetary Annihilation's appeal even before you get into the comparatively light single-player component and the occasional bug.
Quintin Smith · Sep 16, 2014 Reviewed on PCRead full review - It feels very much like this has been built for the people who backed it on Kickstarter, which to an extent is true.... The scale and the ambition of Planetary Annihilation is to be admired, and while we're certainly impressed with what we've seen, our recommendation comes with a side-order of caution; it's a very good work-in-progress, but perhaps it's not quite finished just yet.
Mike Holmes · Sep 13, 2014 Reviewed on PCRead full review - Con mucho potencial para convertirse en uno de los grandes de la estrategia, Planetary Annihilation se ha quedado a medio camino debido a la simpleza de ciertas mecánicas jugables, la escasez de unidades de combate, y la ausencia de una campaña en condiciones. Su multijugador, el editor de niveles y los mods que están por llegar nos hacen presagiar un buen futuro para este videojuego; pero en estos momentos, no podemos esconder nuestra decepción.
Alberto Pastor · Sep 15, 2014 Reviewed on PCRead full review - Damit ist das Spiel noch nicht perfekt - und nein, es kommt noch nicht an die Mehrspieler-Tiefe oder Einzelspieler-Motivation eines Supreme Commanders: Forged Alliance heran. Aber Planetary kann mittlerweile auf eigenen Beinen stehen und den zu Kickstarter-Zeiten versprochenen Spielspaß bieten. Wer Planetary Annihilation kurz nach Release sofort wieder ausgemacht hat, hat jetzt die beste Gelegenheit, den Megaschlachten nochmal auszuprobieren. Solange zumindest keine echte Kampagne erwartet wird.
Stefan Köhler · Sep 15, 2015 Reviewed on PCRead full review - Im Test machte der Mehrspielermodus, abgesehen von den spielerischen Mankos, eine halbwegs ordentliche Figur. Die Server waren stabil und es gab keine Probleme mit Lags oder Abbrüchen. ...Momentan ist Planetary Annihilation übrigens nur mit einer stabilen Internet-Verbindung spielbar. Auch Einzelspieler-Sitzungen und Gefechte gegen die KI werden scheinbar auf einem der Uber-Server gehostet und benötigen eine Verbindung ins Internet.
Eike Cramer · Sep 15, 2014 Reviewed on PCRead full review - Die Performance ist unterdessen bei normalen Matches bis zu sechs Planeten vollkommen in Ordnung, eigentlich sogar besser, als ich befürchtet hatte. Das Generieren größerer Sonnensysteme und das Spiel mit vielen Parteien stellen aber an CPU und Server ab und an Ansprüche, die den Spielgenuss etwas trüben.
