Defending Earth

Defending Earth is a strategy game about protecting the planet from an approaching asteroid storm. You use satellites, weapons and tools to destroy asteroids, aiming for a high score and defense rating as a countdown marks the storm’s arrival.

Defend the planet

The game includes over a dozen types of satellites. The Dual Plasma satellite automatically fires plasma shots at asteroids using AI, or you can control it manually. The Mobile Lab automatically collects Research Points, while the Gravity Modifier slows incoming asteroids to give you more time to destroy them and prepare.

An energy-limited Shield protects Earth when enabled. You can use the Upgrade Panel to expand the Shield’s energy storage and improve its recharging abilities.

Three perspectives

You can play in 3D View, 2D View or Fullscreen View. The 2D View uses a bird’s-eye perspective, showing planets and asteroids from a distance so you can decide which asteroid to target. In Fullscreen View, you can take manual control of satellites, missiles and ships from a first- or third-person perspective. The 3D View gives you access to upgrade and radar systems.
