About CrossPlanet
CrossPlanet is a sci-fi third-person shooter from the CrossPlanet Team, released on PC on August 22, 2025. It mixes fast-paced arena combat with cooperative boss battles and competitive multiplayer. The game’s single-player mode tasks you with fending off alien threats while mastering a roster of customizable weapons and abilities. Multiplayer lets you challenge friends or strangers in dynamic 8v8 battles, while co-op missions focus on team tactics against massive bosses. The game leans into arcadey action with colorful visuals and a focus on skill-based shooting. Best for players who want quick matches, chaotic gunplay, and sci-fi thrills without a heavy story grind.
Gameplay
You control a space mercenary armed with rapid-fire shotguns, plasma rifles, and grenades. Matches unfold in tight arenas where movement and positioning matter, dodging enemy fire while charging through obstacles. Boss battles require coordination: one player might draw aggro while others target weak points. The controls are snappy, with a weighty feel to each gun. Sessions average 15 minutes, whether it’s a win or loss, keeping things brisk. Multiplayer modes like Capture the Flag or Team Deathmatch emphasize mobility and teamwork. Co-op missions add variety, with scripted events like shield-breaking or timed objectives. The lack of cover mechanics forces constant motion, which keeps the action hectic but sometimes unfair.
What Players Think
Community ratings are 92% positive on Steam, with 84% of players completing at least one co-op mission. Average playtime is 12 hours, though 68% of players return for weekly multiplayer events. Reviewers praise the "crisp gunplay" but note boss battles "favor luck over skill." The game’s 93% achievement completion rate (45 total) suggests it’s beatable without grind. Early players call it "a love letter to arena shooters," while critics on Metacritic average 82/100, calling it "fun but derivative." Moods skew excited (61%) and frustrated (32%), with one user writing, "It’s like Overwatch meets Unreal Tournament, but with worse hit registration."
PlayPile's Take
CrossPlanet is a solid pick for fans of chaotic shooters, especially if you prioritize multiplayer over story. At $39.99, it offers decent replay value through weekly resets and co-op challenges. The gunplay is satisfying, but occasional bugs and uneven matchmaking could deter newcomers. Achievements are easy to farm, so it’s a low-risk buy for shooter enthusiasts. Not fresh, but it nails the fundamentals of fast, competitive fun. If you’ve played Titanfall or Smite and crave more arena chaos, this is for you.
