About This Game

Planetbase is a strategy game where you guide a group of space settlers trying to establish an outpost on a remote planet.

In the game you play the role of the base architect and manager, telling your colonists where to build the structures they will need to survive. You will have to ensure that they have a constant supply of oxygen, food and water to stay alive.

You will get them to collect energy, extract water, mine metal, grow food, manufacture bots, and build a fully self-sufficient base in a harsh environment, where you are always one step away from total failure.

Even if the game is not intended to be a simulator, all the mechanics are plausible, and based on what the expected challenges of establishing a colony in an new planet would be.

Features:


  • Four different planets with different conditions and increasing difficulty.

  • Harness solar and wind energy (if available) in order to power the base's structures.
  • Grow hydroponic Vegetables and synthesize Vitromeat to feed your population.
  • Mine and produce raw resources, process them, manufacture goods, and establish a production chain.
  • Carefully manage the colonist immigration flow to ensure you have the people with the right skills.

  • Survive disasters like meteors, sandstorms or solar flares and defend your base from intruders.
  • Mechanize your base by creating your own bots that will help with the more arduous tasks.
  • Grow your colony from a few initial pioneers to a vibrant planetbase with hundreds of colonists.

I waited a while to weigh in. This is a decent base builder that initially promises more than it delivers. For much of the game, the progression funnels you into a fixed build order to succeed, making it feel like you’re solving the designer’s puzzle rather than crafting your own layout. It doesn’t ruin the experience—lots of builders lean this way—but it does cap the game’s potential; a more dynamic system would’ve made this a "good" game instead of "decent". If you give it enough time the game can get more complex but the advancement feels hollow and without purpose once your survival is stabilized. TL;DR: Good bones, rigid spine. 6/10

This is an excellent planetary survival game with excellent graphics and strategy. Very well thought out. The fact that there will be a version 2.0 says a lot. What took them so long to figure out the people have been asking for 2.0 for 10 years? When customers ask for a product, it's on you if you don't meet the demand. Better late than never!
