Planetbase (Day 1) Reveal




Planetbase is a survival strategy game that tasks players with micro-managing every aspect of a manned-mission to one of four playable planets with varying degrees of difficulty and obstacles. The point of the game is to build on and colonize a planet; starting with a group of four astronauts, each of which have their own traits and specialties, and two working robots.

At the start of the game, players are greeted with the option to pick from one of four planets: Desert Planet, Frozen Planet, Gas Giant Moon, and Storm Planet. With each planet, the difficulty increases and the challenges that the player faces will vary quite dramatically.



The goal of the game is to gradually increase the size and and strength of your base; whether that be with more astronauts, more robots, more resources or more protection against invaders. Players must survive random environmental plights such as: meteorites, solar flares and sandstorms; make sure that your crew doesn't run out of energy or resources and manage growth responsibly.




I watched a quick walk through from a youtuber called STUFF+ who showed his experiences with Planetbase. Basically the video showed how quickly everything can go from 100% all right to "All hell is raising right now" because with all this game has to make a player worry about and micro-manage, it is quite common to have things creep up on you and almost kill everyone in your base.
I also watched a bit of another youtubers playthrough (Quill18) and I found his experiences to be quite entertaining as well
