on a world filled with wonders, terrors, and difficult challenges.

Planetfall is a solo and co-op adventure game where you take the role of a crew of colonists, scientists, and explorers from the mighty Unity of Humankind, building a colony on an alien world packed full of long-overgrown crashed starships and dangerous ancient ruins, while contending with mysterious and hostile lifeforms.

You will have to direct your colony’s expansion and research as well as commanding
your characters and troops in tactical miniatures combat. Over time, your colonists will gain experience and improve their combat abilities, while the R&D department adapts alien tech to upgrade your armories... and perhaps even your very bodies.
