Gameplay
Planets Under Attack is a strategy adventure game. The player controls a space fleet with the goal to conquer levels and to complete missions in the fight for dominance in multiple planetary systems. Each level provides a diversity of goals, modes and difficulty levels. The player can conquer an entire planet system before an infested planet hatches aliens, or conquer a planet and hold off all comers.
The game mechanics are packed into missions like rotating asteroid belts, changing star constellations and varied objectives. By using tactics to complete objectives, the player will carve out a niche in the galaxy and level up to new ranks. A technology tree enables the player to strategically adapt to the game's increasing difficulty. The right combination of technologies is often the difference between victory and defeat.
Reception
The game was released with mixed reviews, according to Metacritic.
The French magazine Joystick rated the game 13/20, criticizing the game for its repetitiveness but praising its gameplay and intuitiveness.
