About Planet Hero
Planet Hero is a 3D sci-fi shooter in which you defend four worlds, Earth, Mars, Titan and Hyperion, from an alien robot army that is draining planetary resources. The core of the game is its roster of nine heroes, each with a signature ability: Sheriff has Rapid Fire, Max throws a Grenade Storm, Robert fires Knock-Out lightning shots, Knight uses Fire Bullets, Toxic applies Vulnerable rounds, Pyroblast has a Molotov attack, E.T. calls a Lightning Hit, Rambo goes Over-Charged and Soldier launches a triple-rocket Rampage. Battles are about using the right power at the right time and swapping heroes as the fight changes. Because every hero plays differently, the same planet can feel quite different depending on who you bring into the fight.
Everything is controlled with the mouse, which keeps the game easy to start and makes it comfortable for short browser sessions. Its tags include clicker and upgrade elements, so progression comes from improving your team between fights as well as from how you play them. The game runs in WebGL on a landscape screen, so a desktop or laptop is the best way to play. A single planet defense is a natural stopping point if you only have a few minutes. The mix of shooting and upgrading means progress comes from two directions at once: sharper decisions in battle and a stronger team between battles.
Planet Hero suits players who enjoy collecting and comparing characters with different abilities, and who like combat that rewards choosing the right tool rather than pure aim. It sits between hero-based shooters and upgrade-driven clicker games, making it a good pick for casual players who still want some tactical decisions. With four planets to defend and nine heroes to try, there is a clear path of goals for anyone who likes working through a campaign.

How to play Planet Hero
Command a roster of nine cosmic heroes, each with a signature power, to defend Earth, Mars, Titan and Hyperion from an alien robot army.
- 1Use the mouse to interact with everything in the game, from menus to combat.
- 2Choose a hero to lead the defense. Each of the nine heroes has a unique attack.
- 3Fight off the alien robot army attacking the current planet.
- 4Swap heroes to match the situation, since each special power suits a different kind of threat.
- 5Defend all four worlds in turn and upgrade your team as you progress.
Tips and strategy
- Learn what each hero is good at. Rapid fire, grenades, fire bullets and rockets each handle enemies differently.
- Use heroes with area attacks, such as grenade or Molotov powers, against tight groups of robots.
- Heroes that weaken enemies, like the Vulnerable rounds, pair well with a hard-hitting hero afterward.
- Put upgrades into the heroes you use most rather than spreading them thin.
- If a planet keeps beating you, try a different hero lineup before grinding.
