In Planet Explorers, it is the year 2287, one of the first colony ships sent out by Earth arrives at the planet Maria, in the Epsilon Indi Star System. During its landing sequence, something appears in front of the massive ship that causes it to lose control and crash into the planet. Some of the colonists survive in lifeboats, but what they find is an unforgiving land filled with creatures ready to outlast the visitors from Earth. Now the survivors must explorer, gather, build, create, fight, and ultimately, build a new home.Game Modes
Planet Explorers right now only features single player.
In single player there are 3 distinct selections
- Story Mode – Story mode is the main meat and bones of the game, it is the action-adventure-rpg-somewhat-4X segment, offering npcs, missions, colony building, farming, training, diplomacy, and of course, a storyline that you can follow or ignore. This story features a 17X8km world map with many unique character, landscapes, biomes, locations, and over 140 types of potential enemies. Even though we’ve made it seem like a very action oriented game in the trailers, in reality, players can choose to not fight so much as to just plant a farm, make some food, keep the colonists alive, negotiate with the sentient aliens, and defend the perimeter from the local life forms. That can still eventually arrive at the ending. And yes, there is an ending. Story mode also features coop with other players.
- Adventure Mode – This mode is based on a procedural map generated from a seed. It comes in a 40X40 kilometer map. Players will be able to complete random missions, defeat bosses, dive through dungeons, and explore different landscapes. This mode also features survival and versus.
- Build Mode – In this mode, there are no enemies and an infinite amount of building material. It also currently comes in a 40X40km map. Players will be able to build whatever they want in this mode, including everything in the Creations Editor. Think of this as the perfect testing ground to test everything you build. Or…it’s your place to build your garden without ever worrying about the pesky aliens.

Possibly the most underrated sandbox game in existence. No not nearly perfect, yes its dated, and yes the story probably has some bugs. But the creation system in the game is complex and amazing and there are few like it.

WIth 60 hours I gotta say I sorta had a good time, im not too hard to please, and the amount of freedom with building and even changing the landscape was really nice for it's time. but realistically they PROBABLY never fixed the part where that scientist FUCKING dissapears after you drop her off at this 1 place, and later you have to talk to her to continue the main story line... but you can't because she fell off the fekking planet and at like what is probably the 60% mark of the full main story campaign too, RIGHT when it's getting good after you've found the Mars people were getting somewhere with their town but they were starving or something, elitist jerks. It would be lovely if modders fixed that, in fact imma go look *some time later* SO I have found no where that they fixed that after you leave her there and after you talk to antaro, agnes copperfield will be AT the base... which makes the storyline for the main campaign UNPLAYABLE IF IT WASN'T UNLESS THEY DID AND JUST DIDN'T SAY SO ... so, 6/10: 1 point because I "CAN" play it, 2 points because you can seriously affect the environment as you please, is actually pretty cool, 1 point because the gadgets seem cool and the crafting seems solid, 2 points because the vehicle construction is a bit much to figure out but overall customization for that and the buildings is cool too, -4 because the end is UNreachable as far as I know because im not gonna spend 10+ hours to find out for the review. I'll reccommend trying it just because it's free now and for what i experienced having payed for it, I DID have a good time.

Honestly I'm not sure I would recommend this game to friends, enemies maybe. Don't get me wrong, I love the game, but damn, the amount of bugs and issues, broken missions that are unable to be completed, seems like the game crashes a lot and over half the time it's when using fast travel.

I quite like this game, Honestly I have known it was not going to be "finished" for several years but even still I have had a lot of fun with it, Sure now its free and I bought the game when it first showed up on steam but really I got what I payed for. It was disappointing when they scrapped some stuff, but it still has a lot to do in it. Overall I would encourage people to try it, especially now that its free to play

A really great game, it's under rated, wish there were more like it, and more people playing it.

I don't get the negative reviews for this game. I highly recommend it for a free game. The game has a lot of content and is fun to play. It has a story and a peaceful soundtrack. The voxel system is great. Give this game a try if you are looking for free fun.
