Defender

In this 2002 remake of the classic arcade shooter, you take control of a transforming starfighter in a desperate bid to save the human race from an alien invasion. The game, a third-person shooter, has you flying over planetary surfaces and through space, battling waves of enemy forces while protecting human colonists. You can upgrade your ship, use a variety of weapons, and engage in high-octane combat. It’s a modern take on a retro classic, blending fast-paced action with strategic elements.
