But I got it and I enjoy it for what it is. looking forward to things changing but I'm uncomfortable with the balance between ai control of my units and being able to control things on more then one planet. | ||

If you mainly want to support the devs, buy now. If you mainly want to play a relatively bug-free game, wait more time.  | ||

The only default hotkeys are stop/attack/move/etc. Unit/buildings you have to bind everything yourself in the menu, which is quite tedious. After playing Starcraft, having to click to build stuff was more than annoying :x Has this been improved since? or did I miss something :< My general impression was that the game had potential to be really cool, but the UI was bad and dragged down the game :/ | ||

My only worry about the game is that aside from the novelty of different planets in one game, they are basically flat maps. A lot of my enjoyment from TA-like games comes from the emergent strategy that comes from fully 3D terrain. | ||

It's a shame that Planetary Annihilation is so buggy on release, they'll have a harder time getting Kickstarter backing. https://d2pq0u4uni88oo.cloudfront.net/projects/1062187/video-447849-h264_high.mp4 I didn't understand that at all, Planetary Annihilation still isn't "done". | ||

The start of a project doesn't really involve all the resources that would work to balance and bug fix an existing title. You could argue that doing otherwise would be a waste of resources and money and in the end be worse for both titles. | ||
