Our take on Planet Diver
The focus on rapid diving, short objectives, and score competition leaves less room for slower exploration or elaborate narrative development. Randomized chasms add variation, but the core dive-and-collect loop remains central across the available modes.
What is Planet Diver?
Planet Diver is an action game about wing-suit diving through dangerous planetary chasms with a robotic companion.
Its campaign covers 3 planets, 9 biomes, and 75 missions, with enemies, obstacles, bosses, and mission-specific goals. Dives involve changing speed, braking, avoiding threats, fighting local flora and fauna, and collecting star stuff. This resource unlocks distant planets, outfits, and ability modifiers. Chasms are randomly generated, and each planet has an endless arcade mode. Speed running and Black Hole modes provide additional ways to play, while challenges, online leaderboards, and hidden easter eggs add optional goals. The astro shop contains unlockable diving suits, modifiers, and music.
