After you complete the first planet there will be an animation that literally takes over a minute of you just unlocking new things. You can’t just make it so that you unlock 10 new things at a time, it just stresses and confuses the user. I just gave up playing because of the constant pop ups too. Great amazing concept but poorly executed ### 2/5 — Fun but too much ads *2026-08-20* The game is fun, for a few hours. After that it gets extremely repetitive and the game looks like a slot machine. Everything is about micro transactions, watching ads, etc. The game progress is quite slow and after you finally get some upgrades, it gets boring due to lack of challenge and action. ### 3/5 — Great game *2026-08-20, version 0.34.1* Great game but loses two stars - 1 for the total pass price, and 2 for the overall amount of ads ### 3/5 — Great game, too many ads *2026-07-12, version 0.33.0* Wayyyyyyy too many things pushing you to watch ads for rewards, it’s like 90% of the screen ### 4/5 — really fun game - but god is the paid content expensive *2026-06-28, version 0.33.0* im usually someone who will spend a decent amount of money on a mobile game if 1. i plan on playing for at least a month and 2. the value is there. this is the exact kind of game i would usually spend my money on, but the in-game purchases are ABSURDLY EXPENSIVE. 30 bucks just to skip ads? 20 bucks to buy one of the SEVERAL battle passes just for one specific item? i would've probably spent a good hundred dollars already if the prices made any sense. ### 4/5 — GREAT GAME but crazy prices *2026-06-15, version 0.33.0* Good F2P but crazy high prices for extras ### 2/5 — Excellent game However.... *2026-06-13, version 0.33.0* Great game, a bit expensive. My main issue if the hackers/cheaters. This game hasn't been out long enough for there to be max level max gear max stats on any profiles yet i know for a fact that people don't spend thousands on this because its so expensive. If they don't remove the cheaters Then I Will Cheat too! You won't get another dime from me until you fix it. If not ill be stealing from you instead. ### 3/5 — It’s alright *2026-05-25, version 0.32.0* Game itself is pretty fun. However, if I spend 150 gems on an advanced chest I should not be getting stuff from standard chest. Seems pretty pay to win. ### 2/5 — Fun but expensive in every aspect, you get nothing. *2026-04-09, version 0.31.1* The game is fun and I’ve had it now for a few months (MONTHS, KEEP THIS IN MIND). And I’ve gotten to level 35. I have not gotten a ship once out of the daily spin, it is impossible. And then if you want to go for gold and get the ship from the spin, good luck you’ll be spending 3,000+ crystals that you don’t have. I’ve had the same ship since the first daily log in, the same mini gun weapon, slowly upgrading it which takes forever, don’t try to buy anything, you’ll either make the purchase and not get anything or you’ll be spending $20+ to even get a single item. The game it’s self is just too expensive in every single aspect. If it’s paying for a chest to get a grey shield, or paying 20 real dollars to get nothing. Which don’t spend $20 on this game… it’s a mobile game it’s never that serious, especially when you won’t even get stronger. ### 5/5 — Absolutely amazing *2026-04-01, version 0.29.1* No forced ads Only complaint is that I can’t turn off the red dots so I often click into a tab just to make sure nothing changed ### 2/5 — Донат *2026-03-26* Всё за деньги или за рекламу. Суммы просто огромные. Совести нет совсем у разработчиков ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — لا توجد اللغة العربية *2026-08-14, version 0.34.1* لم افهم تطويرات العبة لا توجد لغة عربية 🫩 ### 1/5 — Misleading ads, pure pay2win, painfully slow and boring *2026-07-31* Planet Crusher is a blatant, low effort clone of “To the Core” on Steam, minus the polish and plus predatory monetization. If you’ve played the original, you’ll recognize the mining loop, the ship upgrades, everything, just repackaged with energy timers and paywalls bolted on. The ads you see before downloading show fast, punchy combat and smooth progression. None of that is what you actually get. In game, progress crawls unless you pay. Energy runs out in minutes, upgrade costs balloon fast, and PvP is dominated by whoever spent the most on gear. Strip away the ads and the marketing, and what’s left is a slow, repetitive grind designed to bore you into paying rather than earning anything through actual skill. On top of that, the developer’s “security” system is a joke. I had a 27 day login streak. My phone’s clock shifted automatically (time zone sync, not me touching anything), and instead of a warning or a fix, the game permanently banned my account from all events, leaderboards, and rewards, with zero benefit to me, since it also locked me out of my Day 28 reward and multiplayer entirely. Support’s response was a copy pasted “this is permanent, nothing can be done,” no appeal, no human review, nothing. Think about that: their anti cheat punished a legitimate player harder than it would punish an actual cheater, with no process to fix its own false positives. That’s not security, that’s a system built to strip progress so you’re more tempted to pay to catch up. Misleading ads, a slow pay to win grind, and a developer with zero accountability. Skip it. Play the original on Steam instead. ### 1/5 — Bom e n tem tanto anúncio *2026-06-22* Mas 200 reais pra tirar anúncio eu recomendo q vcs comprem jogos de switch ,psx,Xbox ou pc… ou baixem uma versão hackeada desse jogo pq n vale 200 conto ### 1/5 — Totes Spiel pay to win *2026-05-30* Absolut totes Spiel mit pay to win - Spieler werden noch abgemolken und kein neuer content geliefert ### 1/5 — This game SUCKS *2026-05-21, version 0.32.0* The concept is good but it takes actual HOURS to do anything in this game. It’s mind numbing repetition designed to make you want to purchase micro transactions with no hope if you don’t. I can only assume the positive reviews are from paid accounts because there is no way anybody should like this stupid game. I don’t even write reviews but specifically went out of my way for this trash game. ### 1/5 — thx *2026-04-08, version 0.31.1* change the age rate now!!!!!!!!!!!!😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡 ### 1/5 — Most expensive game ever *2026-04-03, version 0.31.0* It is really sad that you have to pay a lot of money just to be able to play this game properly and if you don’t the game will glitch and not work properly so sad because this game has so much potential ### 1/5 — Overpriced and add blocked *2026-03-25, version 0.29.1* The game itself is decently fun. But the amount of extremely overpriced add removal and kit packages that are persistently thrusted on you is insane. $30 to remove ads is ridiculous for any mobile game. And while the ads themselves aren’t forced, they are required for any of the additional “benefits” such as continued play for certain game modes, daily “free” gifts, and additional lives. Would not recommend. ### 1/5 — Rewards not received *2026-03-23, version 0.29.1* It’s an alright game. My big issue with it though is I placed 1st in the bronze league in my first week. I was promoted to silver league however I never received my rewards. No keys, blueprints, or gems. Maybe I’m missing something but idk. I won’t be spending anymore money on this game in the meantime. ### 1/5 — Another bait and switch *2026-03-18, version 0.29.1* Another example of Apple abandoning their App Store rigor that once maintained a degree of integrity in lieu of outright capitalistic greed. It’s a systemic problem when forced-ad playable game demos in other games are actually more fun to play than the real game that they’re advertising. Shame. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — It’s fun *2026-08-26, version 0.35.0* It’s fun for now but still feels like a reskin of every other game on mobile. And everything is behind a paywall or add wall. ### 5/5 — No ads *2026-08-10, version 0.34.1* Pretty solid game ngl ### 5/5 — PvE Needs Fixing *2026-07-13, version 0.33.0* I’ve happily been playing this game for almost a year, it’s an amazing way to kill time and I feel properly rewarded for my time playing. The only thing that I have been having an issue with is the PvE, specifically the “Raid Pirate Fleet”. My experience has been watching my ship run circles around the other ship and not doing any damage. It’s frustrating when you know you can defeat it but you don’t have enough time to complete that stage, instead I’m forced to watch my ship and the other pirate ship run circles around each other until they eventually hit one another. Id suggest rather giving the player control of his own ship they’ve spent hours upgrading and putting resources into, or fix the ship ai so that this doesn’t happen. I mean this full heartedly, it would make the game a million times more enjoyable. ### 5/5 — Question *2026-07-13, version 0.33.0* Where do I get zinc from?? Game has been pretty fun so far. ### 5/5 — It’s really nice *2026-06-20, version 0.33.0* The thing i like the most in this game is that there’s really no ads unless you want to watch one if you click to skip the double earnings thing you don’t get forced to watch an ad so you get to choose if you’ll watch an add to claim something or not ### 5/5 — Planet Crusher-лучшая игра в своем жанре и вот почему. *2026-06-06* Planet Crusher-эта игра про добычи искораемых,вы сами упровляете своим караблем и месете планеты прокачивая свой карабль за полученные ресурсы,развитие в игре довольно быстрое,маловато контента для игры хочется побольше,есть возможность без даната играть более чем,надеюсь разработчики данной иры не забросят проект.мне не понятно зачем начальные ресурсы копяться когда становятся не актуальными,тоесть в примеру ресурс железо,зачем мне железо на 90 уровня планеты? когда перк за железо давно прокачен и так со всеми ресурсами они будут у вас копиться до бесконечности,еще исправили бы рейтинг,а то на маленьких лигах люди играют 300+м мощи что как бы абус системы рейтинга ### 5/5 — Nice *2026-05-31, version 0.32.0* Really satisfying to destroy a planet ### 5/5 — Surprised by how addicting this game is *2026-05-30, version 0.32.0* I got the game on a slow afternoon and have not stopped playing it since ### 5/5 — Tuff *2026-04-16, version 0.31.1* This is gud geme I liek to pley ### 5/5 — So good *2026-04-13, version 0.31.1* This game is by far my favorite mobile game except for like Minecraft and geometry dash because first no forced ads second so many planets and upgrades third you can play this for ten years and not get bored --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
