Release Date: September 5, 2014
Planetary Annihilation is a space-based real-time strategy game following the 1997 hit Total Annihilation. Game was produced by independent studio Uber Entertainment with the support of Kickstarter crowdfunding platform users. Action takes players to the distant future, where they participate in an uncompromising rivalry for control over the Universe.
Planetary Annihilation is a third production of Uber Entertainment, which so far developed Games Monday Night Combat and Super Monday Night Combat. The studio consists of former employees of Gas Powered Games and Cavedog. The latter created Total Annihilation, back in 1997, which was the main inspiration for Planetary Annihilation.
The basics of Planetary Annihilation are based on the legendary RTS game, Total Annihilation. The theatre of activities include not only selected area, but entire planetary systems. You can adopt the tactics of laboriously gaining another lands using conventional weapons, or you can become a destroyer of planets, sending meteorites flying right into his enemies.
Economics are a VERY important aspect of the game. We establish bases, and extract raw materials, using which we construct buildings, such as those producing new kinds of units. These we send off to fight or to defend the lands we have already conquered. The creators of Uber Entertainment decided to introduce a very simple interface, thanks to which we can easily supervise all of the activities in one place, while still having insight to the situation in other regions. The game offers a few modes, most of which were designed for multiplayer (up to 40 players). There is, however, a possibility to play against the AI (skirmish).
Planetary Annililation offers full support for modders, allowing them to create their own units, planets, systems, and even new modes. The creators provided special tools to stimulate creativity. They allow one to build their worlds from scratch. You can create a small flap of land with several buildings, or a Earth-big project with a mass of factories, bases, and fortresses.

Game Debate: 7 / 10 by Stuart Thomas
It's not cynical to say that Planetary Annihilation was built from the ground up as an e-sports option. As such, it's not really designed for mellow, thoughtful play at home so much as overly frenetic, WMD-laden violence before an army of screaming South Koreans. It has certainly learned the lessons of past MP giants, but whether it is really going to conquer that demanding arena or sputter like a damp squib is hard to predict. As a game in its own right though, a lot of what you're doing is standard RTS stuff, only simultaneously on a series of spherical maps, which adds dramatically to the challenge.
Rock, Paper, Shotgun: by Brendan Caldwell
Planetary Annihilation is a slick, modernised RTS, engineered from the ground up to appeal to the fast-paced, competitive, hotkey-loving esports crowd. For people like me, it is a bruising gauntlet of defeat. But even I can see the appeal. Putting aside the fact that to play online you need a quad-core processor instead of a brain, the game itself has a huge amont of character.
NZGamer: 7 / 10 by Luke Batt
I'm not a fan of the lack of a tutorial, and I certainly dislike that there is little-to-no campaign story to speak of, but if you can get over the lack of instructions and make some mistakes while finding your feet, or you're after a challenging RTS with reasonable A.I. and an enjoyable online multiplayer and spectator system, then Planetary Annihilation is a more than worth the fee.
