Description and Comments
Boundless Planet
is one of the few game in the still-emerging MMORTS (Massively
Multiplayer Online Real-Time Strategy) genre.
Instead of controlling one player at a time,
Boundless Planet and MMORTS games in general allow
you to control your own empire fully loaded with
an army, impressive technologies, and valuable
resources. Several browser-based games also allow
you to control your empire online and go to war
with other players, but they usually have no
graphics and are turn-based. Boundless Planet
allows players to see their empire in full 3D. In
addition, your empire does not just disappear
after one match like it does in retail RTS games
like Command & Conquer. One of the biggest
problems of the MMORTS genre is that people have
to log off and leave their empire. Boundless
Planet addresses this substantial problem by not
allowing empires to be attacked for a period of
time after a player logs out. Most importantly,
however, the game has a small-yet-vocal community
that works closely with the game's developers to
constantly help improve the game. Although
Boundless Planet is not the easiest game to just
pick up and start playing, fellow players and
in-game tutorials will help you get
started.

Comment: I have been playing for like 8-9 months and its
really worth it! When you can own in this game,
you can own in every game you want. See it as
the ultimate test and come in! Practice your
skills, politics, knowledge, and tactics!

Comment: I have played for a year now and this game is
constantly evolving. The developers respond to requests
fast enough considering there are only of
them. The most dynamic aspect is the community and
the game approach by them. I have seen the good and bad
play and with more numbers this game gets more
fun. The learning curve is steep, however, and the
community has been remiss in showing examples of
what is possible to make this seem worthwhile. You
need more than the free
week trial offered, but it is a harsh world
out there.

Comment: This game is good, if you have time.
However, it
requires a lot of managing supply routes and some
people restart after getting the best techs to have
the noob shield. Overall, this game is decent but
requires improvement.
