What is Planet Explorers?
An open-world survival and building game set on the planet Maria after a colony ship crashes. In its single-player story, procedurally generated adventure, and enemy-free build modes, you explore, gather resources, craft gear and vehicles, build a settlement, and fight local creatures.
For you if...
- +you like designing and balancing your own vehicles
- +you enjoy choosing between missions and open-ended building
Not for you if...
- −you prefer a linear path over open-ended exploration
- −you want multiplayer rather than single-player modes
What players say
