It’s up to you to defend your starbase in this challenging game by Capital j Media LLC with your high-tech TAF gunship.

 

The entire outpost on the edge of Terran space is depending on you to protect it.

 

In this fast-paced app you are a weapons officer on an AC-130 gunship in the future.

You'll need to arm your ship with all the weapons you'll need to stop an Alien invasion

and save the thousands of civilian lives in your hands. Arm your ship with missiles, lasers,

and even a super-powered Vulcan cannon. As you play you'll be able to upgrade your

weapons to make them more powerful and have better range to help you with your battle.

 

You can even upgrade the Starbase by giving it stronger hull plating.

 

Some of the cool features of the game include the ability to use nuclear warheads to

completely annihilate entire fleets of enemy Alien ships. You can sync the game with

iCloud giving you the convenience of switching between devices during play. As well,

you can challenge yourself by working towards the 13 achievements and even earning a

high score on the Game Center.

 

Gameplay itself is fairly easy to grasp. Basically you'll be fighting wave after wave of enemy ships. It becomes highly addictive in a short amount of time. There are no flashy graphics to be seen here but what you get definitely gets the job done and is enough to keep the game feeling fresh and fun. This is a game that I found is hard to put down once I started playing.
