I love Starcraft 2, will I like PA?

Pretty much what the title says. I'm a huge fan of Starcraft 2, but I feel hesitant in buying PA. Let me know :)

It's super different from Starcraft if we're talking in the RTS spectrum.

It's two totally different games.

I'm recommend everyone to check some streams before you buy game:

Starcraft 2, 3 races if you lose all units / buildings you lose your income depends if you have Gas and minrals being harvested you need Supply points to construct units


Plantery Annihilation, 1 race (but the commanders are diffrent races just same units!) if you lose your commander, you are dead, caues that is YOU on the battlefield! You get a fixed income from your commander and a fixed income for metal/energy genraters, they never run out. You do not need supply points you know you reatched the max when your Computer freazes. unlike Starcraft where a marine takes 50 secs to build in 50 secs you have 3 light tanks out, it is very easy to get an army

Awesome thx guys, ill look into it :)

We do have a SC2 Pro Coach in the game and he really likes PA. So possibly, but definitely get a feel before buying.

Yea ive been watching streems, looks fun, i wish there was a way i could try it before buying it...

[Phat_Cat]

Hm, it sounds a lot like Supreme Commander. It looks nice but I would like to test it out before I throw my money at it

[YellowSign]

From what I can tell, this is very much like Supreme Commander and its legendary ancestor Total Annihilation. It's a fair bet to say that if you enjoy those titles, you should like Planetary Annihilation as well.

Nobody explained how different both games are so i'll do it.
SC is a much much more faster paste game where macro is everything. If you don't have a good reaction time or have poor reflexes you'll never be able to compete against a decent player. It's also about economy, you have to cripple your opponents ressources while losing as little as possible of your own units and resupplying your losses as fast as possible while trying to defend your own economy. It also uses a rock/paper/scisor system where there is a counter to everything, so scouting is a major part of the game to be able to know what units to make to be one step ahead of your opponent.

PA is a much slower paste where when you get attacked, even if you get spoted first you still have a chance at winning the battle. Everybody has the same units so it's about who can get the biggest army first and march unto the enemy. If you are new to rts I suggest starting with PA as SC is really unforgiving to new comers.

You could get your hands on supreme commander and/or total annihilation. These two games are extremely similar in many aspects.

I think you mean "micro" as opposed to "macro".
