About Defendor

Defendor is a throwback to the fast paced arcade games of the 80s. A retro style, arcade shooter where you upgrade your base to increase the capabilities of your ship, unlock new weapons, ships and cause more mayhem. Defend your base until everyone makes it into the escape ship.

✦ AI summary

Players praise this budget space shooter as an addictive rogue-lite with charming retro mechanics, noting that upgrades and colony improvements create satisfying progression that keeps them playing longer than expected. However, some find the learning curve steep, with the ship moving too fast for the small play area and unclear mechanics around currency collection making early survival frustrating before meaningful upgrades become available.

One thumb down for this one. It is, by design, old looking, but that is fine, the real problem for me is that the ship is too fast for such a small play area, as leaving the screen in any direction kills you. Theoretically you can upgrade the base you are defending, but I was unable to survive long enough to earn any 'stars' which I think are the currency of the upgrade. I did collect little circles, because the game told me to, but I have no clue why, or if they were of any value. I paid under buck, and I found it way too expensive.

Cool game, my living room shook with an earthquake and I thought it was just the screen. 12/10, would recommend in a dire situation.

This is exactly what I look for in a budget game. I started recording footage for my channel, and I only needed like 10 minutes, but I ended up playing for an hour. This is a single screen space shooter in the vein of Asteroids or Super Bit Blaster XL, but all the little upgrades, new ships, and colony improvements are what really make it unique. The replayability factor is high with this one. If you can get behind simple-yet-effective gameplay and some old school high score chasing, this game is for you.

Great little rogue-lite shooter. Once you get some momentum, each run you can upgrade something that makes going further easier. I probably won't be playing it all too often after beating the game, but for ~$1 what more can you ask for? Great work.

Games like Noita for the two things it really does: spells you assemble yourself, and a simulated world that takes nobody's side. Seven picks, from a slugcat to a dwarf fortress.

Tormented Souls price: a horror game that stopped moving

The Tormented Souls price has not budged in six weeks of our readings. What that means for buying it, and whether the 2025 sequel is the better purchase instead.
