PlanetFate

This game is basically the ultimate game of Asteroids combined with Missile command. The only difference is, you're not in a spaceship shooting at asteroids, and you don't have missiles, but instead you have mines and lasers. The idea is to defend planet Earth (literally, it's Earth floating in front of your face) for as long as possible. You have the option of having a platform to stand on in space or if you don't mind looking down and seeing the void of space beneath your feet, you can remove the platform. I don't know if any asteroids are supposed to come from beneath the planet or not. I mostly kept the platform visible and didn't see any asteroids coming from below. On the easiest difficulty, they give you 4 lasers that you can reposition around the planet. Two of those are beam lasers and two are "pew pew" lasers. Each one occupies a "shell" layer over the earth so they'll never collide with one another, but if you block one laser with the other, then only one will ever fi...

Very well done if simplistic VR game. The graphics are passable, don't really need much for flying space rocks, and the controls work flawlessly. You move around turrets on a sphere a fixed distance from the planet and aim that at hunks of red glowing rocks flying at you from all angles (except directly below you). It's simple, there doesn't appear to be much more mechanics yet besides a flying ufo that will screw you over royally if you don't laser it immediately. My main gripes are the rocks seem to pop in fairly close by sometimes. I'm constantly scanning the 360 view and sometimes one is right next to me less than a second later and boom. I hope the dev can add a few more gameplay mechanics, but I still feel it's well worth $5. One thing I instinctly tried to do and was more dissapointed then I have any right to be was after the planet explodes, I really wanted to be able to swing my controllers through the pieces, grab nearby asteroids and hurtle them into the remnants ...

A simple game and although only early access it is difficult to see how it could develop much further, so I doubt it will hold long term apeal BUT what it does it does very well. The graphics are beautiful and the game polished and bug free. As long as the developer keeps the price down it is hard to fault. Well worth a try. P.S. I just read the developer does have plans to take it much further with some interesting sounding ideas. I look forward to seeing how it evolves.

Fun little arcade experience. Definitely room for expansion but worth giving a shot.

I've always been a fan of Planet Fate's unique style of gameplay. Single tower defense in space. Holds up still, after all this time. Always fun to play. I even like it, when after your planet is smashed, the way it looks lit from within, and that you can bat the bits about. A true arcade classic, that should be in all VR enthusiasts collections. Rock On!

As a 49 years old old-school arcade gamer I really like the mix of "missile command" and asteroids. Graphics are great, immersion is great. It´s well worth the money in it`s current state. Well done!

Very fun polished title. The graphics are great, and standing next to earth defending it from asteroids is like playing missile command on steroids. Just imagine you are Ender Wiggin and protect the earth! :) Definitely a good solid arcade game that is different enough from the deluge of wave shooters to make it interesting to jump in for a few rounds as part of my regular play cycle.

I enjoy playing this. The controls worked nicely and graphics are very nice as well as the sound. The explosions are also impressive. I'm Sorry for Killing Us All! - PlanetFate - HTC Vive - Let's Play and Review: https://youtu.be/tq8Vyxxldfc

Has potential but needs a lot of fixes before I could recomend it. Asteroids still spawn very close to the planet at the start, can die within 5 seconds randomly if you dont check 360 immediately. The fixed layering of the satelites makes controling and aiming them annoying. This isnt a gun simulator where you are aiming down precision sights, please give these satelites a targeting cone instead of them all being laser precise. The precision required combined with the poor interface for moving the satelites makes this game more frustrating than anything else. Exampled by the fact that the biggest challenge is to survive for 5 whole minutes. Also Easy mode is just boring slow mode that doesnt make the game much easier, just longer. The asteroids spawn father away, making them harder to aim at so if you need easy mode you are just waiting around mostly. IIts a fun concept but lacks actual game design and mechanics.

Funny game, but not worth the few coins it costs.
