PlanetFate is a virtual reality game for the HTC Vive platform.

Summary[ | ]

Official Summary[ | ]

Defend your planet from incoming asteroids, aliens and more in this VR-only room-scale HTC Vive game. Position defense units in orbits around your planet, plant mines and keep an eye out for planet-bound threats from any direction.

PlanetFate is being built from the ground up for virtual reality. Being able to manipulate defense units' orbits using Vive's controllers and move around your playspace to identify incoming threats makes this a tense and action filled game.

The fate of your planet rests on your quick thinking, strategic skills and spatial awareness.

  • Adjustable planet height: Whether you're 4 ft, 7 ft or anything in-between, we've got you covered

Future Mission Modes in Development[ | ]

In addition to the arcade style game modes currently available, PlanetFate will offer players more game modes focused on strategy and longer gameplay. Here's a sneak peek at what's currently in development and how the game will expand over time:

  • Escort Missions: defend cargo ships against pirates, through asteroid fields and other hazards
  • Battlecruiser Missions: control a massive battlecruiser's turrents, shields and fighters in various scenarios
  • Defense Building: build and manage stations, mines, shields and more from invasions
  • Skirmish: build and manage your fleet and engage in room scale battles

The type of missions created will be based on the support PlanetFate receives during Early Access. So while the current version only offers arcade-style modes, if you are interested in longer form missions, consider supporting PlanetFate
