60 of 170 · most liked firstPretty weak as far as strategy games go, really not much actual strategy to it. The art style is kind of neat but otherwise I felt this game had nothing really going for it. Claiming planets and spamming ship production really wasn't all that interesting for me. :-(
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →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…

negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Nobody will read my review so I Will Eat 1 Tablespoon of ketchup For Every Like this gets. Planets Under Attack, Pros -Easy to learn. -Nice cartoony style. (a patato can run it) -Almost fully voice acted singleplayer. -A Surprising amount of Depth to the gameplay. Cons -Only 2 Factions. (Humans and Robot 2.0) -Glitchy Multiplayer. -Game maps can become Extreamly messy and crowded. -Only 4 Game modes.

negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game is definitely different from anything I've played before, but in this case different isn't better, it's worse. The major Issue I have with the game is that it is too difficult for me. I can usually complete strategy games at medium (normal) difficulty. Planets under attack has three difficulty levels, and I am now struggling to complete scenarios at any difficulty level above the lowest. This is a major issue because you need to win scenarios at the higher difficulty levels to gain…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It was pretty fun right up until I played the level where you have to pay money to some collector. That level is easily one of the worst experiences I have had in gaming. Even on easy, the attacks simply came WAY too fast. One game I managed to get up to 150 out of 300 paid off, but I just didn't have enough cash to keep my planets or expand. I can't imagine that level on higher difficulties. I would refund if I could.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →LoveCraft, developed and published by WEALTHBIRD, presents itself as a socially driven virtual world rather than a traditional game with objectives, levels, or scripted progression. Its foundation lies in player expression, interpersonal interaction, and the creation of a shared digital space where community behavior defines the experience more than any developer-authored story. From the moment players enter the world, it’s clear that LoveCraft is built for those who want to socialize, explore,…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Boring. All you do is launch meat-wave assaults on random planets and whoever can throw more bodies into the meat grinder wins. There is no story or contiguous campaign to make the gameplay meaningful. There are multiple races to play but they change only the control scheme and only enough to make it confusing without actually changing the core mechanics.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →One of the only space games I've ever enjoyed...
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game's quite a charming, and reasonably unique when it comes to the mechanics. The way it uses stockpiled money to boost the strength of your ships actually creates quite an interesting pacing that's very different from the strategy games I'm used to. Using this system well certainly takes some getting used to, and there's an interesting learning curve when you first pick up the game. Unfortunately, the rest of the game is just not fun to play, because this isn't really a strategy game,…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I got a free code for this game when I bought a new gaming mouse. The mouse is good, the game is meh. Still better than the last free game that I got though.

negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →it's not as bad as some people suggest, but also depend the price tag, but they do have a demo to try out before buy, so you can try out before spend money and regreat later case you dislike it

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A well designed game with satisfying mechanics and a pleasant pace. Easy to recommend.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Boring. It feels like a mobile port. All you can do is launch meat-wave assaults on random planets. The more planets you own, the more ships you have, so just steamroll your enemy if you start strong. It is just not satisfactory.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →an interesting strategy for a couple of evenings with friends
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Very frustrating, AI cheats and there is no room for error. Boring game.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Planets Under Attack is a surprisingly addictive lite strategy game with a charming cartoon art style that's easy to pick up — you're commanding swarms of ships to capture planets, upgrade them, and overwhelm your enemies in a satisfying loop. The early campaign levels genuinely hooked me, and the variety of game modes kept things fresh. However, the difficulty spike around level 10 is absolutely brutal — even on easy, the AI feels like it's cheating, and what was fun quickly becomes an…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The game feels outdated with dull graphics, frustrating controls, and uninspired gameplay that makes it hard to enjoy today.

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →There were a few browsers with similar gameplay. They may still be alive. It gets boring pretty quickly, and since there's not much room for tactics and the controls aren't very comfortable, I can't recommend it. Although it looks and plays well.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Rating: 7.8/10 Planets Under Attack is a fast-paced real-time strategy game that focuses on conquering planets, managing resources, and outsmarting opponents in quick tactical battles. With simple controls and accessible gameplay, it offers a refreshing blend of strategy and arcade-style action, making it easy to pick up while still rewarding smart decision-making. While the game isn't as deep as larger RTS titles, its charming presentation, multiplayer modes, and enjoyable campaign provide…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A space strategy game where the fleets fly on their own, the interface is confusing, and you feel like a space clown instead of a general. I don't recommend it!
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Destroy your enemies, no one survives, not even the innocents, now follow your commanders instructions.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →it just doesn’t stay interesting for long term. not for me
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A strategy game where you make the same couple moves repeatedly until you get bored. You could barely label it a strategy anyhow. I hope the planet under attack next is earth so games like this don't have people waste time on them.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Achievements not working.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →unlocking technologies actually changes gameplay. nice progression system.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Good alternative to Mushroom Wars if you prefer sci-fi.
