Planet Explorers

A new open-world sandbox adventure RPG game set on a distant planet, by Pathea Games.

Overview

Planet Explorers is an open-world adventure RPG developed and published by Pathea Games. At the time of its release, it had implemented the innovative new OpenCL calculated voxel system allowing players to create objects such as weapons, vehicles and structures and even to change the terrain while playing the game.

The game unfolds itself in the year 2287 as one of the first colony spaceships dispatched from the planet earth reaches the planet Maria in the Epsilon Indi Star System. As it is about to land, something appears in front of the ship causing the pilots to lose control, subsequently causing the ship to crash into the planet. After the crash, the colonists were spread over the large terrain and while trying to find the troops, they are faced with dangerous creatures ready to put an end to the mission. As one of the survivors you must now explore, gather, farm, create, fight and ultimately establish a new colony for yourself.

Development

Planet Explorers began its development in 2010 and 2 years later on June 26th, 2012 an open alpha was released. The studio Pathea Games kept developing the game until the 8th of November 2016 when it finally after 6 years released the 1.0 version.

Game Play

Planet Explorers is a single-player game which includes 3 distinct game modes:

  • Story Mode –This is the main mode of the game which can be described as Action-Adventure-Open World-RPG. It offers a storyline with missions, NPCs, character development, colony expansion, diplomacy, farming, and training. The story mode unfolds itself on a 17X8 kilometer world map comprised of unique landscapes, NPCs, plants, minerals and over 140 unique creatures playing the role of potential friends or foes. The player is free to choose his/her own approach to playing the game. If the players are more peaceful, they could focus more on farming, diplomacy with the aliens, keeping the allies alive and build up the colony. If the players are more action-oriented, they can choose a more offensive approach. Both paths eventually lead the players to the ending.
  • Build Mode – On a different 40X40 kilometer wide map with no enemies and an infinite amount of resources, players have the freedom to build almost anything their hearts desire. This also includes everything in the Creations editor. If you like to have your own garden but have no room at home, this would be an optimal place for sowing your seeds and you wouldn’t even be bothered by aliens
