Worlds will collide

Written by DavieMarshall on 07 April 12 at 19:08

TopWare have revealed that they will be bringing Targem Games' Planets At War to Xbox 360. The title is introduced to us as "a strategic interplanetary conflict simulator". You'll have access to four playable races and take charge of force management and strategic control as you attempt to strike down the opposing regimes in a battle for interstellar dominance.

TopWare also reveal that the game will have "diverse victory scenarios", "mighty boss encounters" and a game progression which will deliver increasing depth and complexity to the player. TopWare’s CEO Alexandra Constandache expanded with the following statement:

The challenging gameplay paired with the exquisite presentation of the game’s complex mechanics are sure to find players loosing [sic] themselves in the folds of time and spaceThere's nothing else to share as yet, but the TopWare PR department promise us there's more 'coming soon'. We'll keep you posted as the galatic war games take shape!

Game info:

Planets at War offers a surprising depth of gameplay, while its intuitive controls allow even casual gamers to pick it up and feel comfortable immediately. In addition to the addicting gameplay, Planets at War is an obvious labor of love. An exciting and memorable cast of characters exist perfectly in this artistically beautiful world. From the ships to the planets, everything has an essence of its own, with a memorable soundtrack and comical sound effects breathing life into the visuals
Gameplay

The goal of this challenging space adventure is to conquer a galaxy of planets, while undertaking a multitude of special challenges. Take control of your mighty space armada, and wreak havoc across the cosmos, but choose your targets wisely! Conquered planets will net you income to expand your forces, but you must carefully weigh the pros and cons of attacking each planet, as timing and available resources are critical to victory. Above all else, you must keep a cool head. Enemies race to capture your territory as you hone in on theirs and multiple battles will rage on all fronts. You must make tactical decisions at every turn, from scouting your enemies and deploying units, to shoring up your planets’ defenses and knowing when to attack and when to defend. Strategic multi-tasking and a keen military mind will lead directly to unrivaled glory…while careless play will reduce your army to space dust.

Campaign

The Campaign mode tests your military might with 32 thrilling levels, each with varied planets, tasks and game modes. Defend a planet until reinforcements arrive, fly into uncharted space, conquer planets and set up defenses before rivals attack - the list goes on and on, as there is no shortage of objectives in your struggle for interstellar dominance. Start out as a novice and learn the ropes, or ramp up the challenge with three levels of difficulty. The longer you play the more experience you’ll obtain, allowing you to unlock new technologies, changing the way you play and ensuring you’ll keep coming back for more!

Online

In Online mode, don’t just choose your own path, make the cosmos your own personal battleground! You design the fight, from choosing the amount of players, to selecting your maps. Simply pick a game mode, select your settings, grab some friends, and cut loose.

Team

Team mode is just that, where the players can join a team with up to 3 other people, or AI, all working towards the same goal. Any combination of 4 - whether it’s 1 vs. 3, 2 vs. 2 and so on - can be chosen to change the overall experience in Planets at War Team mode.
Features

* Impressive moving planetary systems in a three dimensional space
* Stunning cartoon graphics
* Fun, easy to learn gameplay in a rich science-fiction setting
* 8 types of planets
* A diverse campaign with 32 levels and multiple game modes
* 15 multiplayer levels for 2-4 players – either in Online mode against other players, Skirmish mode against the A.I., or work towards the same goals and team-up with players in Team mode.
* Same system multiplayer – allowing players to play with up to 4 people at once, all on the same system, and in any mode they choose.
* 15 unlockable technologies provide gameplay variety in both single and multiplayer modes
* 2 playable races with unique ship designs and gameplay variants
Edit: Sadly, after looking at the screen shots it appears to be a glorified version of Risk.

Looks like a troop management title where each planet generates a certain number of troops per turn for whoever controls the planet. I used to have a game like that on my RISC PC and it was pretty good.
