Kickstarter hit Planetary Annihilation is very nearly ready to roll after almost two years in development. A shiny new trailer from the team at Uber Entertainment reveals a September 5 final release date.
My favourite thing about the game? You can use what is essentially the Star Wars Death Star to blow up helpless planets. Really, that’s all I’ve ever wanted from a videogame.
Planetary Annihilation takes the grand-scale RTS combat of Supreme Commander and pushes it out across the galaxy, letting players battle over a chain of procedurally-generated planets. Using a variety of charmingly cartoonish robots, tanks, artillery pieces and so on, you’ll blow the hell out of absolutely everything in sight. You can even fling asteroids at people from the other side of the galaxy. Which is fun.
Right now you can grab the game through Steam Early Access for £22.99, but that price will presumably change upon the official release.
