Planetary Annihilation: Titans

Planetary Annihilation even with Titans is unfortunately still a great sounding concept marred by poor execution. The idea of using an entire solar system as battlefield and planet themselves as weapon is great indeed and the basic mechanics are sound enough. Sadly, everything else is lacking around this excellent foundation. Unit variety is rather poor, as the roster is good enough for one army but mirror matches become tedious rather quickly and worst of all, progression is very fast, allowing you to top the tech tree in just a few minutes. Even the planets unfortunately won't help, as their small size don't convey the proper sense of scale, being maybe one tenth of what they should be resulting in a player base in proportion ranging from continent to half planet scale, killing this way lots of tactical depth. Much of this could be excused as lack of polish typical from an indie game but its pricing at AAA levels significantly lowers any good will one could espress towards the developers. Still, this is one of those games that could be saved by an active modding community, but it would require an effort close to a total conversion in order to properly shine. As it is, the game is purchase worthy at 75% off or less if you like competitive play, otherwise those in search of an engaging single player experience should either get the good old Supreme Commander: Forged Alliance or cautiously wait for Ashes of the Singularity, while Spring RTS could be an alternative for multiplayer and the open source Warzone 2100 can help those in search of complex mechanics.

Titans brought Planetary Annihilation from a meh to a must buy. I've always loved PA's concept, but the UI, game optimization, and number of units always fell short. This expansion fixes all three! There's also an improved tutorial, which sounds great because the tutorial confounded me when I first played the game. The new planets also bring a lot of variety and replay value to the game. Also, Titans are so huge its just awesome. :)

This game manages to improve on the weakpoints of the original planetary annihilation, while still keeping the core gameplay alive. It's a clever RTS set across a solar system - one the often ends up ultimately being destroyed

Planetary Annihilation: Titans is a stand-alone pack for Planetary Annihilation, and again Uber Entertainment studio did it well. The game is again fun, the strategic value is high and there is so much new content to play with. There is a whole, new campaign to play, some new units like the nanomachine storm, that is really good. The strategy factor, as I wrote, is really rewarding, making each play different from another. Worth its price.

Planetary Annihilation is a Real Time Strategy game taking place on a whole planet (Several planets actually. Imagine a RTS game where it's all about planets fighting other planets). Looking at your base that is expanding on the planet is just cool. This stand-alone expansion adds a few units to the game and the famous Titans, giant units that can completly change the course of the battle, are also included. The expansion is also bringing some improvement to the game. The User Interface is a LOT better than before and the game feels more optimised too. The gameplay, however, seems a bit unbalanced in multiplayer mode. TITANS just makes Planetary Annihilation the game it was supposed to be and that's reason enough to buy this DLC.
