    Feels like a macromedia flash game. This is clunky. As an example, a button says "Repair Everythin", then a "g" is found about 200 pixels to the right of it. Movement alone is absolute hell. This reminds me of those old macromedia cd games, the commercial ones in stores, not online ones. This game clearly has a lot of effort put into it, but absolutely no common sense. It feels like a 14 year old threw it together as a labor of love. Well, I commend them for their effort, but politely ask…

    Do not buy it. Too many crashes (can't even get past tutorial because of them). Bugs, bugs everywhere. Will ask for refund if there will be no patches until next weekend.

    If you are an English speaking player, or any other language speaker other than the developers native language, DO NOT BUY THIS GAME. I do not know what language this game was developed in, but the translation to English is awful to the point of unplayability. I mean, I tried to like the game...it looked good and seemed like it would have been fun, but alas, I finally had to submit for a refund. There is just zero excuse for not hiring an English speaking translator to edit your game before…

    My full review can be found here: http://opnoobs.com/reviews/indie/action/plancon-space-conflict The game has a pretty bad bug that while hard to notice, causes a likely irreparable issue. I had to give a 3 out of 10, even though I love the game. If you want to play it, don't start a second play-through without reading my review.

    I keep getting the message "Game must be restarted to make changes" after a couple of minutes of play. All progress gets reset, and I haven't been able to make it out of the tutorial. Do not buy.

    Let's see... - Mouse freezes on start up menu. - Makes me think the entire game is one big virus that ♥♥♥♥♥ up your PC. - Have to use keyboard direction pad as mouse. - Makes it difficult to turn off game, so I can uninstall it forever. - Hitting 'Enter' only works until it pops up asking you if you are sure you want to exit the game, then hitting 'Enter' doesn't do ♥♥♥♥ all, it's like the game devolopers are rubbing it it your face of the ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ game they made, & the ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ pricks they…

    Fun little game. A space adventure where you do quests, upgrade ship and fight bad guys. The bad is that it crashes sometimes and controls are rough, selecting a planet or ship doesn't always work unless screen is in paused mode. But I got this game on sale and for what I paid I'm satisfied. If you like space adventures and don't mind a lack of polish, give this game a chance.

    I'm less than 5 minutes into the game, in the tutorial, and I'm told to select and jump to Venus. Every time i click on it, it doesn't select it, and nothing else happens. I am beyond furious that I can't get any farther than this. If the dev's fix this ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥, then I'll update my review, as it'll show they care at least a little, but I'm pretty sure it's a long dead game.

    As many reviews state, this app crashes too frequently to be fun! I haven’t seen where the developers replied to any complaint of this failure so I must assume they don’t care about the people who purchased the app! I’d recommend the game if they fix the bugs that causes constant crashes; but otherwise I’d say I’m highly disappointed and would not recommend it to anyone.

    2024: The game is completely unplayable right now. Somehow even more bugs appeared that completely break the game. If You struggle hard enough You can bypass some of them but at early point in the game it gets stuck. These bugs are reported in 2020-2022, Devs responded ''ask Steam for a refund'' - That's not how it works dear devs... Original Review: In the begging game looks nice, I really tried to play it, don't think about crashes but it's unplayable at some point. + some nice ideas -…

    On PC the controls are atrocious at best and the gameplay has no depth whatsoever. You click on an enemy, and numbers fly until someone dies. Sometime the actions stops despite not pressing any key. It's essentially impossible to scroll while moving. I've had to double click the same station 3 different times in order to dock. Retrieving loot in space makes your ship travel at a snails pace until the loot is in range. The dialog is really clunky, like a teenager writing fanfiction. I paid 0,70$…

    I would love to waste some time playing this game, but it just doesn't work. I wish i had read the reviews prior to buying. I am now a couple hours into the game and am crashing every 30 seconds to 2 minutes. It is unplayable and I have searched for a solution, but have found no answers anywhere. I've never asked for a refund, but this game, while when it worked was fun has devolved into a pile of utterly frustrating **** and I may actually have to learn the process for requesting a refund.…

    The game does not work. You cannot fly to Venus to finish the tutorial, and that's as far as the game lets you go. The developer has responded in Steam discussion boards with no solutions, and saying we should get a refund. Do not buy.

    This game is trash. It feels like a beta mobile game intended to sell 'cash shop items' and was ported to pc. It's clunky as hell, most times clicks are either not registered, or registered as double clicks, controls are a nightmare, and many times you have to sit and watch as you preform some pointless flying maneuver in a circle rather than land/attack/etc, simply because the game decided that you want to do donuts in space. Ontop of that, when looting the game makes you fly horribly slow to…

    Avoid... Would like to give this game a decent review but I simply can't. Meaning, this game is completely unplayable. No keybinding or basic control mapping (not that it matters because it seems to change every time you restart it). No ability to set custom bindings. This game doesn't even have basic help / tutorial file--just a bunch of RP fluff. Monitor settings? Lol, thats a joke and what little there is-is locked to 75Hz. All in all, this game is an exercise in frustration. Negative 3…

    Fun idea & concept, unfortunately executed badly.. it crashes constantly, playable only with permanent troubleshooting for all the weird quirks it has. (mouse cursor doesn´t always get recognized, you have to switch to arrow-keys/enter in certain menus to progress..) : (

    SOLUTION Many people have reported difficulties in completing the tutorial. Solution: 1. Avoid using your mouse to click on Venus. 2. Instead, use the arrow keys (yes, arrow keys) for navigation to Venus, hover over Venus, and then press <Enter>. REVIEW Not-much-fun but cool backgrounds. One hour and then done...never finished.

    PlanCon: Space Conflict sets out to offer a wide-open, choice-driven space RPG where you pilot your own ship, shape your destiny among planets and stations, and confront an alien threat that has torn apart your training facility and thrust you into a galaxy-wide war. Developed and published by HeroLabs, the game blends space combat, exploration, trading, and role-playing systems in a way that suggests an ambitious vision—one where you can become a merchant, a pirate, a soldier, or something in…

    Plancon: Space Conflict is a mobile app that's been dumped on Steam as if it was a real PC game (it's not)... it's a cash grab from greedy mobile devs. The game looks like some kind of attempt at making a StarCon2 like space adventure game with 2D planar space combat (ala SpaceWar! from 1962), but don't let looks decieve you... the gameplay is exceedingly shallow stuff where you just move the ship around by tapping on your iPhone screen, and combat autoresolves, you just tap on your iPhone…

    This is a very fun to play game. Simply with moderate graphics and a lot of potential. I read the complains about the game integrity ... I have done this procedure to many games. If you have several games in steam, you would know that a game integrity check should be the first to do when the game wont start. Guide is missing and it is slow to progress in game, other than that - good work devs.

Attention, ce n’est pas parce que le jeu vient du mobile qu’il est mauvais, je vous rassure, c’est au contraire un bon jeu. Plancon: Space Conflict est comme son nom l’indique un jeu de science-fiction. Des extra-terrestres s’attaquent à l’Humanité (avec un grand H). Vous êtes le seul survivant d’une de leurs attaques.
