What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“I'm a solo indie developer, and Space Defender is my first game.
Early access allows me to take into account players' feelings and expectations, to ensure that the final product is as accomplished as possible.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“Approximately 6 months, depending on the feedback I receive, and the extent of the new features to be implemented.”

How is the full version planned to differ from the Early Access version?

“In the final version, I have plans to include at least the following (and more):
  • A final mission to conclude the adventure, unlocked after liberating all 3 galaxies.
  • New mission types, such as massive battles, which will reward the player according to the number of eliminations.
  • A refined interface.
  • Bug fixes, balancing and optimizations for a smooth experience.
”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“
  • 3 galaxies, each with unique visuals, enemies and difficulties.
  • 4 different mission types.
  • Over 50 equipment items (missiles, lasers, shields, generators).
  • 8 playable ships to unlock in-game.
  • Many hours of content.
”

Will the game be priced differently during and after Early Access?

“Yes the price will increase when the game gets closer to completion.
By buying now you can take advantage of a reduced price and help shape the game!”

How are you planning on involving the Community in your development process?

“I'm determined to listen to players! Share your feedback via the Discord server (link available in the game menu), Steam Discussions, or reviews.
Your suggestions will guide patches, improvements and new features.”

About This Game

Welcome to Space

Space Defender is a 2D arcade space shooter blending twin-stick action with RPG progression. Crafted by a solo French developer, this dynamic cosmic adventure is playable in English or French with full controller support.

Explore and Fight Freely

Journey through three unique galaxies, each with polished visuals and escalating challenges. Your ship evolves, but so do your foes! Take on missions at stations: wipe out enemy squadrons, defend outposts, or escort vulnerable ships.

Repel the Threat

Battle Drones wreaking havoc across sectors. Wield a diverse arsenal – laser cannons, guided missiles, automated turrets, and more – to prevail. Pilot with precision, as every equipped item affects visuals and gameplay.

Level Up Your Game

Earn credits from missions to upgrade your ship or purchase stronger models, like the Orion Cruiser or Vulture Frigate. Equip over 50 items (Cobra batteries, Hornet shields) and manage energy to optimize performance. Liberate each galaxy by aiding stations, building toward an epic final mission (coming soon™).

Early Access: Join the Adventure

In Early Access, Space Defender offers many hours of gameplay but includes some bugs (UI, missions) and repetitive tasks we’re refining. New missions (massive battles, swarm) and a polished experience are planned for the full release. Commander, your feedback will shape this universe – jump in now!
