"Dark Planet brings all the best elements of the greatest RTS games together in a single title, ultimately fulfilling on the promise of what a great RTS title can be," said Charles Harribey, Dark Planet's producer for Ubi Soft Entertainment. "At the same time, Dark Planet has a unique graphic look and feel that will appeal to both hardcore RTS fans and casual gamers."

"The RTS category has been around for a long time so we looked long and hard at what has worked and what hasn't in past games," said David Wightman, managing director of Edgies, the game's developer. "Gamers will find many familiar features in Dark Planet, but they'll also be pleasantly surprised by some of the first-time features, such as expanded multiplayer options and a full range of difficulty settings which promise to keep players engaged in the game for a long time."
