About Zenith Defense
Take command of humanity's last defensive position in Zenith Defense, a retro pixel-art arcade game that combines hands-on anti-aircraft aiming with deep tower-defense progression.
Missiles, drones, jets, paratroopers, armored para-tanks, stealth wings and towering gunship bosses descend on your base. Your main gun tracks threats on its own, but taking direct control lets you override its priorities, traverse faster and tighten your firing cone. Lead moving targets, manage your limited engagement range and decide when a steady hand can turn a failing defense into a clean interception.
BUILD YOUR DEFENSE
• Earn Credits during each run and spend them on attack, defense and utility upgrades while the fight goes on.
• Collect Chevrons from dangerous enemies and bosses, then spend them in the Research Lab on permanent upgrades.
• Unlock special weapons: tactical nukes, orbital lasers, energy shields and overdrive.
• Add automated guns and missile batteries as your arsenal grows.
FOUR DIFFICULTY LEVELS
Start on Normal, then defeat a Sector Commander to unlock Hard, Brutal and Nightmare. Higher difficulties hit harder and pay out more Chevrons, and every difficulty has its own milestone Stars to earn.
RETRO STYLE, MODERN PROGRESSION
Crisp pixel-art enemies, explosions and neon horizons are built for quick, readable action on phones and tablets. Each run lasts until the base falls, and your research makes every new defense stronger than the last.
ADS AND PURCHASES
Zenith Defense is free to play and supported by ads, including optional rewarded ads that earn a Star. Optional in-app purchases: Remove Ads (one-time) turns off ads between games and lets you collect your Star reward without watching an ad. Star packs add Stars, a virtual currency with no cash value. No account is needed to play or to buy.
Defend the horizon. Refine your arsenal. See how long your command can survive.
