About This Demo

ESA S.H.I.E.L.D - Earth's Safety Starts with You!

Become head of the European Space Agency's Space Safety Department and protect Earth from real cosmic hazards like Asteroids, Space Debris, and Space Weather. This science-based Earth Defense Simulator combines tower defense, roguelite, and strategy elements to create a unique gameplay experience grounded in reality.

In this Demo Version your primary mission is clear: detect and stop the incoming asteroid before impact. Space Weather and Space Debris add continuous pressure and challenges.

Experience the core gameplay loop condensed to its primary features and introductory content from the full version of ESA Shield.

Before you can defend Earth, you need to see the threats coming. Build powerful ground-based monitoring systems to scan the skies for incoming danger—from massive solar storms to fast-moving asteroids.

But ground systems alone won’t be enough.

Send satellites into orbit and create a global network of satellites. The more eyes you have in space, the better your chances of survival.

Early detection is your best defense.

With the right data, you can assess each threat, determine its danger level, and launch the right countermeasures—before it’s too late.

Every successful mission makes you stronger.

Earn resources, unlock new technologies, and upgrade your systems to stay one step ahead of the next big space threat.

ESA S.H.I.E.L.D is more than a game: It’s a space mission!

It is developed as an outreach initiative for the European Space Agency to confront one of the most overlooked challenges in spacecraft: Space Safety. Play the game and support ESA in its mission to keep space safe and Earth protected.
