I was blown away by the terribleness of it. even bought in at $60 when it was "gamma" phase. I absolutely adored total annihilation and supcom1 (2 was fun but overly simple) and was looking forward to PA with serious intent. I absolutely adored total annihilation and supcom1 (2 was fun but The game is playable. I would recommend waiting until its 20$ or less unless you are a Supreme Commander junky. All in all, for the 30$ I got a few hours of entertainment out of it. My computer would be considered a medium to high end gaming machine and this does not falter at maximum graphics. To say I am disappointed is an understatement. The AI was standing in the middle of the base doing nothing.

I sent 30 Tanks over to the enemy base, and all he had built was Power plants. The AI is pretty pitiful at defending their base. You simply build factories to churn out uninspiring units, to then mob your enemy. The game is basically a Supreme Commander clone. However, the game has fallen short of my expectations and I am glad I did not spend the 90$ that it was originally. I was very close to donating because the concept was a cool idea.

I have been following this game for a very long time, since the original Kickstarter campaign. If you are a fan of RTS games, I highly recommend Planetary Annihilation.
It's very possible for players to out maneuver their larger opponents, or exploit weaknesses and beat someone with a much larger army. On top of that, Planetary Annihilation's gameplay is fast paced, exciting, and strategy intensive. The ChronoCam allows players to rewind and fastforward gameplay in the middle of a match to watch events that they may have missed. Not to mention features like Planet Smashing, Galactic War (randomized campaign), and the ChronoCam. Primarily, the randomly generated spherical planets and the ability to fight on multiple planets simply hasn't been done before. Notice I said "epic scale," not "large scale." After all, multi planet gameplay, planet smashing, thousands of units, and 40 player matches can be described as nothing less than "epic scale." Planetary Annihilation introduces a number of genre changing mechanics. Notice I said "epic scale," not "large scale." After all, Planetary Annihilation is simply an awesome, "epic scale" Real Time Strategy Game. Planetary Annihilation is simply an awesome, "epic scale" Real Time Strategy Game.
