Star Defender is a simple, but very fun shooter game. The idea is somewhat like the classic Space Invaders with waves of attacking ships. Fight through these hoardes with 5 different gun powerups and very powerful rockets. Get through a set of attack waves and you will duke it out with a tough end boss.

  • "The sounds are surprisingly good, and the graphical effects of explosions, and the cool level-5 gun you can get will surprise you for a game that only costs $14 to have the full thing. Don't let the small download size put you off into thinking, "it won't be worth it", because let me tell you, it definitely will." - Sam Morris, Star Defender Player

A few tips to help you on your way:

  1. Control and fire of the ship is with your mouse.
  2. Be sure to use your rockets (right mouse button) often as you have a lot of them and they can clear out enemies fast.
  3. Grab as many powerup icons as possible.
  4. When you reach the first end boss, pound him with rockets and you will destroy him in no time.
  5. Have a blast!

Why people think Star Defender is awesome:

  • "This game is set apart from other galaga type games for several reasons:
    1) The powerups make the game much more fun to play
    2) The enemies are not super easy to kill; therefore, the game is challening
    3) The boss is very fun to fight; he is very difficult if you don't have at least one powerup
    4) The variety of enemies is pleasant. They are very different from one another, making each level unique.
    5) I only have the shareware version, and I still keep playing the game over other full version galaga style games that I have"
    - Alex P.
     
  • "This game is great. This has it all good graphics action packed easy to use I love this game" - Andrew F.
     
  • "This is an awesome game, The graphics are cool, and the levels are challenging. It is actually better than the real Galaga game." - Paul Willingham
     
  • "I am 44 years old and I enjoy this game as much or more than my 9 year old son! I personally, am not a big gamer. Needless to say, the fact that you have produced a game that holds my attention is a major accomplishment. I have found that it is also really good for stress! There's nothing like blasting a few things to relieve tension!" - Frances K. Denison
     
  • "I was looking for the old arcade style defender game and found Star Defender. I like the pace and chalenge of the game. The weapons are easy to understand and use making the learning curve quick. I think the audio combined with the graphics lured me into playing this game often. I especially like the fact that I can get into the game and play quickly as well as just spend 10-15 minutes with a diverison on stressful days. At almost 50 who would know I would have enjoyed this game this much." - Robert Walloga
     
  • "This is an action filled game that you cannot get enough of. Thats realy saying alot since I only have the part of it thats free. I would say this is a must have because I've played it over 50 times since I downloaded the free version." - John D.
     
  • "I paid for the full version copy mainly for my husband to have fun with, now! he is always playing it and I can't get on the computer and have fun myself. Oh well never mind, he really enjoys it and trys to beat his scores all the time. He has made it to the very top score and just keeps playing. Thanks for that, great game, he loves it." - Sue Fussell
     
  • "I downloaded the online unregistered game to my computer so that my grandson could play when i babysit. Well it turned out to be such a hit and even I am playing it now. I must say that I never play those kind of games... but now i am hooked on it. I have gotten to the last level allowed and its really good. We plan to buy this game, if i dont win it free .. :) Cant wait to try the full version." - Alice Davis

Star Defender, June 16, 2008
Reviewer: Terry from United Kingdom

I was looking for 'Defender' and came across this. Im 43 and have played computer games all my life, and also have a good understanding of what makes a great game. Great graphics and simplicity makes this title a winner. Easy access of control via the mouse,and thats it! Press left button and youre away, press right button and your'e a pilot possessed lol. My son ordered me the full version for fathers day coz i completely destroyed the 14 levels in the trial version. For £10.00+ you really cant go wrong! Im so pleased i have the full version now and have been playing it ever since! This is a real 'Pick Up and Play' title that you can really get stuck into! Haven't had so much fun in blastin aliens on my pc for ages! Congrats have to go the programmers as they've made a fantastic title. As soon as i get my pc upgraded, im gonna buy the other 3 installments! These boys have hit the nail on the head with this title for share playability and fun. Well Done. 5 STARS*****

Most of my favorite software progams on XP isn't compatible with Vista. Gave up some favorite software programs last week, when I got this new computer with Vista on it. Been playing Star Defender for several years. Downloaded Star Defender on my new computer. Star Defender plays great on Vista....made my day.
