    IS Defense is a simple game that recalls Operation Wolf, Cabal and other arcade classic. The game is quite difficult and, in the long run, also quite boring. It can offer you some short burst amusement but for that money you can have a lot of better indie games.

    Well made, but shallow and lacking in content, IS Defense is a simple but intense Tower Defense arcade game, with some good ideas regarding progression and strategy, but ultimately offering too little content.

    In the rail shooter category IS Defense is quite good. It's repetitive and with poor content but has a cool skill system and offers an honest two hours of fun. You don't have to think, you just have to shoot. But if the game was called anything else no one would look in its general direction. It's all in the marketing, but it's quite sad that a talented studio wastes time on such mediocre projects.

    I have pumped 5 hours into this game since installing it.

    I have not moved.

    Brilliant gunplay, very well optimized, an enemy we all love to hate and would love to riddle with bullets any day of the week and fantastic arcade style shooter gameplay.

    The game is quite short but has a lot of replay value thats to its kick ♥♥♥ leaderboards and I believe I remember the devs saying they were going to add more levels to the game anyway.

    Do yourself a favor and buy the game.

    Bonus points if you like your games with a slice of edge to annoy all the SJW's out there.

    10/10 would give up my place in social circles again.    … Full Review »

    While it's definitely not the GOTY, IS Defense is a very fun and fast paced game. You don't have to think very hard while you play it, butWhile it's definitely not the GOTY, IS Defense is a very fun and fast paced game. You don't have to think very hard while you play it, but there is a bit of strategy involved when you get upgrades or when to call in support with your killstreak. I really recommend getting it if you like hoard/wave killing games. =D… Full Review »
