I didn't have a lot of hopes and expectations at first out of strategy based space themed game , however, the moment you digest the nuances of game mechanics, it kept on getting bemusingly fun with critter like armies of space orbs and crazy buffooned space-destroyer bosses, this game just starts with a straight Zero at first and kept on multiplying 10X with every other level and planets. I can't even describe this game, its simple to understand yet the idea is so unique that it warrants a patent. The in-game dialogue and story is a bit naysayer but who cares ? I do !!!

Information / Review English Planets Under Attack is a strategy game developed by Targem Games. Gameplay / Story Your task is to conquer all planets or to master special challenges. The player swarms out with his space fleet, conquers planets and provides upgrades - the celestial bodies he controls - for more taxes and new spaceships. According to TopWare, it is important to tactically select the order of the conquest targets, to switch the mode of your own planets skillfully between attack and defense and to keep an eye on the enemy activities. In campaign mode, 32 levels have to be mastered, some of which are only unlocked when the player has earned a few "star medals". Depending on the level of difficulty, which can be selected in three levels, the information content about the opponent and the availability of game tips increases. The longer the player stays in action, regardless of which mode (campaign, skirmish, multiplayer) he plays, the more experience he gains. This leads to the level-up of the player character, whereby new technologies are unlocked Pro + addicting gameplay + Background story only staged with text panels + 2 playable races (humans and robots) + Multiplayer mode for up to 4 players locally or via the Internet + 4 game modes + Skirmish mode for fast play away from the campaign + Fast game play and clever AI keep you busy + Planets can be expanded in 3 stages + Achievements and trading cards Contra - A crisp level of difficulty could overwhelm strategy beginners - Playtime could have been more Conclusion Planets Under Attack offers you a strategy bite that is fun. Clear buy recommendation. Information / Review Deutsch Planets Under Attack ist ein Strategie-Spiel, welches von Targem Games entwickelt wurde. Gameplay / Geschichte Deine Aufgabe besteht darin, alle Planeten zu erobern oder spezielle Herausforderungen zu meistern. Der Spieler schwärmt mit seiner Raumflotte aus, erobert Planeten und sorgt durch Upgrades - der von ihm kontrollierten Himmelskörper - für mehr Steuern und neue Raumschiffe. Laut TopWare gilt es die Reihenfolge der Eroberungsziele taktisch klug auszuwählen, den Modus der eigenen Planeten geschickt zwischen Angriff und Verteidigung zu wechseln und die gegnerischen Aktivitäten im Auge zu behalten. Im Kampagnenmodus sind 32 Level zu meistern, die zum Teil erst dann freigeschaltet werden, wenn sich der Spieler ein paar "Sternen-Orden" verdient hat. Je nach Schwierigkeitsgrad, der in drei Stufen wählbar ist, steigt der Informationsgehalt über den Gegner und die Verfügbarkeit an Spieletipps. Je länger der Spieler im Einsatz bleibt, und zwar unabhängig davon, welchen Modus (Kampagne, Skirmish, Multiplayer) er spielt, desto mehr gewinnt er an Erfahrung. Dies führt zum Level-Up des Spielercharakters, wodurch neue Technologien freigeschaltet werden Pro + süchtiges Gameplay + Hintergrundgeschichte nur mit Texttafeln in Szene gesetzt + 2 spielbare Rassen (Menschen und Roboter) + Mehrspieler-Modus für bis zu 4 Spieler lokal oder über das Internet + 4 Spielmodi + Skirmish-Modus für schnelles Spiel abseits der Kampagne + flotter Spielablauf und clevere KI halten auf Trab + Planeten in 3 Stufen ausbaubar + Errungenschaften und Trading Cards Kontra - knackiger Schwierigkeitsgrad könnte Strategie-Einsteiger überfordern - Spielzeit hätte mehr sein können Fazit Planets Under Attack bietet dir einen Strategiehappen, der Laune macht. Klare Kaufempfehlung.

This games premise is simple, so if your looking for something super complex it's not here. Strategy and tactics do exist though as taking which planet and when to attack and when to defend becomes extremely critical. One move can cost you a planet and sometimes if your not quick enough to react, the game. The premise is your a certain colony of either humans or robots, and you start conquering worlds one by one. Some battles can take place with one or up to three AI's. Of course, each sector is it's own game, so don't look to go Star Wars and try to conquer an entire galaxy. You start the game, and you are able to choose linearly which sector to attack next. Once you are at the in-game screen, the battle begins. Planets can be upgraded and can be selected to either defend or allow for attacks. Some planets when properly upgraded have some self defense mechanisms... although I wouldn't highly rely on it. Game types vary (which is always a good idea in any game) where one game may be domination where you need to take ALL planets whereas another game may have to do with monetary means to win - meaning more money you have the more powerful your units are. Send an attack wave to an enemy planet though and watch your assets freeze as your at war. Small divot game-types such as these keep the game interesting and want you to play more. This game is good, however NOT RECOMMENDED FOR EVERYONE! If you like space games and a casual indie territory take-over game this may be for you. If your looking for Star Trek Online keep it movin'! INDIE RATING 7.6/10 RATING : 6.9/10 Gameplay C+ Story / Campaign B Visuals / User Interface B- Sounds / Music C+ Replay-ability C+ Overall C+

Planets Under Attack is a real-time strategy game. The gameplay mechanic of Planets Under Attack are simple and not very deep, but it's good, not too easy and need some time to master. You start with a planet, build up fleets and then set out to conquer neutral or/and enemy planets. But you have to make the right decision which planet to attack first and use tactics. The first level of the game could be easy, but when you play deeper into the game, there's when the fun begin. The graphics of Planets Under Attack is cartoon, but that doesn't make the game a children game. The UI is good and well designed. Planets Under Attack is another good and fun game. I recommend this. Rating 8/10

Now this game you probably have never heard of before but I think it is a very simple to play RTS game which you can pick up the basics in no time at all. The gameplay is very simple, no special units or so forth, just upgrade and out-populate your rivals with a rather minimal but somewhat entertaining campaign with the human faction albeit would be better with other factions such as the robot(My favorite unit in the game). If you have friends playing this game with you then it can be quite the fun game that everyone can get the hang of in due time(Done it multiple times). If this game goes on sale and you're feeling bored perhaps give this game a try? It's a 9/10 in my book Gameplay is simple to pick up albeit UI can get frustrating(Downgrading accidentally). Story is rather minimal although expected due to the RTS line of gaming.
