Our take on Project Planet - Earth vs Humanity
Players looking for conventional turn-based combat may hit the wall when the game assigns them social roles and policy choices instead of direct battlefield control. Remote groups may also stall at the setup point if streaming and browser-based controllers feel like unnecessary coordination.
What is Project Planet - Earth vs Humanity?
Play as Earth and cause disasters such as disease outbreaks, locust plagues, and asteroid impacts, or join up to five friends as one of five human roles.
World Leaders set laws, Industry manages companies and the economy, Scientists conduct research, Media reports events, and the Public responds to crises. Players make difficult choices, cooperate through abilities, and pursue separate interests while trying to survive or shape humanity’s fate. A browser-based controller lets participants use a smartphone, tablet, or computer, with no additional app or controllers required. Remote groups can stream the game through tools such as Zoom, Steam Broadcast, or Discord. Branching decisions produce different routes through each disaster scenario.
