Planet Crashers

About

Planet Crashers mixes turn based battles with real time action in a colorful sci-fi universe. Players customize a crew of heroes each with distinct abilities and upgrade them across multiple planets. Combat alternates between strategic menu based attacks and quick time events requiring button mashing. A shared world map lets players team up with others for cooperative missions or face off in arena battles. Developed by the team behind Metroid Prime, the game shows strong design but was stuck in limbo when its publisher shut down. Available on older platforms like 3DS and iOS it still draws attention from retro RPG fans. With a small but dedicated community it remains a curious artifact of early 2010s indie development.
