Planetary Annihilation

September 08, 2015 by Adam in Adam's Games

Long ago I kickstarted a game that was loosely planned as a fairly standard RTS, but based on several planets in a solar system.  It was okay when I played it a year or two ago.  Sam and I played for a little and then put it away for a long while.  Lately they came out with a new version that has twice as much content and is considerably well polished.  I played a couple games with Sam, losing the first and winning due to an AI killing him early in the game.

Single player is actually not too bad either, though the AI I've been fighting isn't particularly aggressive.  Mostly I enjoy playing with the really big things you can build.  I'm a fan of nuclear missiles, though I've yet to work up to building the asteroid-moving rockets that let you completely obliterate a planet by smashing it to pieces.
