Our hero, who is a space adventurer, and descendant of this forgotten civilization, discovers his home planet after several millennia. Slowly recovering from the nuclear destruction, the planet is now habitable and thriving with life, and with hints of previous civilization (buildings, monuments, landscapes, books, works of art, and artifacts).

Having lived in closed spaces and artificial habitats throughout his life, the hero is awestruck by the planet’s natural beauty and wide expanse. He falls in love with his ancestral planet and makes it his home. Living with his robot companions, he spends his time enjoying the nature, researching and preserving his ancestral heritage.

Gameplay

Planetwatch is a massive multiplayer real-time mobile strategy game that integrates real life activities (walking, running and swimming) within the gameplay. Build your home base on the resources earned through your activities tracked by our hybrid smartwatch. Attack the enemy bases who are destroying our earth. In-game rewards are the resources generated within the game and these resources can then be used to progress in the game. As the users perform more activities in real life, they are is rewarded more in the game.

Three quarters of the game map is land mass and the rest is spanned by water body. What sets planetwatch apart from the current mobile strategy games is its introduction of land, water and air based combats. The army consists of land, water, amphibious and air units whereas the defence buildings (based on their category) can be placed in land, water or both. This leaves it to the user to decide on a strong base which can defend any sort of attack and an army capable of capturing a particular base.
