Planet After Us

Planet After Us is an RPG set in a 3D world designed for about five hours of play, though a first playthrough can take longer. You play as a young man from our world who has entered Human Park, a future world built by robots to remember people. Its houses and architecture reflect the human era, while cars still roam the landscape. The robots living there have grown aggressive, and mafia bosses have established themselves in black fortresses; you must put the world in order.

Professions and resources

You learn and upgrade several professions to gather resources and turn them into goods for sale. You also need to learn the key maker profession to open chests. Developing combat skills is central to fighting the enemies you encounter.

Combat

Robotic tanks are the main enemies, roaming the map alone or in groups. Combat depends on the properties of your weapons and your opponents’ armor: each gun has penetration and three types of damage, while armor can vary in thickness and other parameters. Your shots may fail to penetrate, or score a critical hit with every shot, so you need to assemble complex weapon sets to defeat serious enemies.

The world’s super-dense atmosphere slows projectiles, giving enemies time to dodge. Even a volley from four different guns can miss, so you need to anticipate where an enemy will move and calculate your trajectory to hit ahead of it.

The world

The world has a generally relaxing atmosphere, with opponents that are not described as frightening. Even areas touched by evil, including cemeteries with crucified skeletons, look peaceful. The landscape includes unusual trees and objects, and the world was designed by robots.
