About Space Defender: Frontier Squadron
The frontier is falling. Hold the line. The Drones have swept through three galaxies, relay by relay. Station after station goes dark. Command has one answer left: you, a ship, and whoever you can convince to fly with you. Space Defender is a top-down arcade space shooter with real RPG progression, made by a solo French developer. Twin-stick flight, fast combat, and a ship that grows with every contract you close. Fly with a squadron Recruit pilots at any station and hand them a ship from your hangar Up to three wingmen follow your lead and fight on their own A downed wingman ejects: recover the rescue pod before it is lost 13 kinds of contracts Clash, Escort, Convoy, Siege, Elites, Armada, Swarm, Fleet, Holdout, Hunt, Rescue, Salvage and Strike. Contracts roll with modifiers such as asteroid fields, elite leaders, enemy reinforcements or a ticking clock, each with its own risk and reward. Enemies that fight differently Snipers keep their distance. Minelayers leave traps behind. Carriers launch waves of fighters, jammers scramble your guided missiles, support hulls recharge their allies' shields. Learn each Drone and pick your targets. Build your ship 8 ships, from the nimble Falco
