Various upgrades in weaponry, as well as extra lives, can be purchased with credits earned during missions.Once players find and rescue colonists during their mission, they can drop them off at multiple locales. Navigating the environments is accomplished with the help of a scanner, which delineates enemy fighters in red and friendly units in blue. Whether it's the light and nimble fighter or the slow and heavily armed bomber, techniques such as barrel rolls, loops, and reversals are also possible, and familiar weapons such as smart bombs can eradicate multiple threats in one blinding flash. All ships have the capability to pick up items on the ground or in the air, including colonists and friendly units such as tanks. Six ships are available to pilot, each offering different characteristics in speed, armor, agility, strength, and special weapon. A lock-on targeting system lets players isolate an objective, enemy, or friendly unit. Players will be able to pitch and roll using the left Control Stick, perform evasive maneuvers with the right C Stick, and use both forward and reverse thrusters to blast ahead or to fall back. Battles take place in a campaign format, playable with a friend in cooperative mode, as pilots engage alien swarms across planetary surfaces on Venus, Mars, and Earth, as well as in the far reaches of space. Pilots must once again rescue potential abductees, only this time the threats are bloodthirsty bugs called Manti. A 3D update of 1980's coin-op classic, Defender has players guiding a star fighter from a behind-the-ship perspective in an attempt to thwart an alien invasion.
