Review summary

Reviewers praise Planets Nu for its deep, old-school strategy and active community. However, recurring issues include a mandatory internet connection, startup crashes/black screens, extremely long loading times, an outdated mobile UI with missing features, and multiplayer instability in custom games. Improvements to startup reliability, offline play, loading performance, UI updates, and multiplayer stability would boost overall satisfaction.

Pros

Deep, old-school strategic gameplay with substantial depth.
Active community and positive reception among players.
Generally enjoyable and engaging gameplay experience.

Cons

Requires internet connection to play (offline mode not available).
Startup issues: crashes or black screen on launch across devices.
Very long loading times or loading screen that never completes on Android.
Outdated mobile UI with missing features (e.g., combat simulator, achievements) across versions.
Multiplayer instability in custom games (stops working after turn 3).

2026-05-14	Ma*****	Great continuation of the Tim Wisseman 90's classic VGA Planets. Galactic-scale growth and conquest. Lots of depth to the app interface that takes a while to discover. Every race has unique ships and abilities, and planning is the key skill. The logistics dimention is a great separator of skill, but I wish there were some scripting ability, as turns can be so long that one can plan then forget next turn what the plan was.
