The game's story has a promising setup but fails to fully engage players, often feeling underdeveloped amidst a cluttered interface and repetitive early missions. While some users appreciate the storyline and gameplay, frequent crashes significantly detract from the overall experience.
- “The story has a good storyline and gameplay, but the frequent crashes detract from the overall experience.”
- “Planets and stations often feel like static menus rather than living environments, and the story—despite its dramatic setup—never fully capitalizes on its potential.”
- “The pacing suffers as well; the early hours can feel like a grind as you repeat simple missions to earn enough credits to purchase essential upgrades.”

The game's stability is severely criticized, with frequent crashes, bugs, and performance issues reported by users. Many players experience constant troubleshooting due to these problems, including mouse freezes and random in-game deaths, which detract significantly from the overall experience.

gameplay

100%
The gameplay of Plancon: Space Conflict is criticized for its numerous bugs, inconsistent user interface, and lack of clear instructions, often leaving players confused and stuck on basic tasks. The game is described as a shallow experience with simplistic controls that fail to translate well to PC, resulting in a lack of depth and engagement in both exploration and combat. Overall, it is perceived as a poorly executed mobile port that feels more like a cash grab than a genuine gaming experience.
- “Bugs, inconsistent UI behavior, and unclear instructions crop up frequently, and some players may find themselves stuck on basic tasks simply because the game does a poor job of explaining its mechanics.”
- “Plancon: Space Conflict is a mobile app that's been dumped on Steam as if it were a real PC game (it's not)... it's a cash grab from greedy mobile developers. The game looks like some kind of attempt at making a Star Control II-like space adventure game with 2D planar space combat (a la Spacewar! from 1962), but don't let looks deceive you... the gameplay is exceedingly shallow, where you just move the ship around by tapping on your iPhone screen, and combat auto-resolves; you just tap on your iPhone screen on the enemies and the combat will play itself out.”
- “On PC, the controls are atrocious at best, and the gameplay has no depth whatsoever.”
