Moon Defence

Moon Defence is a single-player shooter set in 2061, when humanity has spread across the Solar System and largely forgotten war. Communication with distant settlements is lost, and colonies begin disappearing. Reports point to unknown attackers killing the colonists, but their motives are unclear. With help from Earth too far away to arrive quickly, settlers must defend themselves using improvised weapons built from equipment at hand.

Defend the colonies

You control a turret made from a repurposed crane, fitted with hastily redesigned weapons such as a plasmatron, a laboratory laser and an experimental energy absorber. The attackers are awakened Wardens. You travel from one moon to another, standing your ground and shooting enemies while managing a strictly limited energy supply; plasma can be reloaded only during lulls. The game also lets you build defensive infrastructure, customize the turret’s armament, improve your weapons and research artifacts. Monoliths may be better left undestroyed.

Moons and levels

The journey visits twilight landscapes on the largest moons of Solar System planets, including locations around Pluto, Saturn and Mars, as well as the Moon. Bonus levels appear in every planetary system.
