Besides Medal of Honor (2010) and Warfighter it's one of the few games that actually has the balls to feature Muslim terrorists as an enemy faction

If you can stomach the admittedly trashy, attention-seeking premise, you'll find that IS Defense is in reality, a fairly entertaining arcade shooting gallery. Don't hold it to the standards of a 100 hour long epic adventure; it's much more comparable to those pick up and play arcade, browser and mobile games that can easily be squeezed into a busy day. If you need a time killer that'll hold you over when you need a quick rush of digital violence, then you'll likely enjoy this offering. Recommended.

A few hours of mindless shooting fun for few bucks. Especially good deal during a sale. Nothing ground breaking but worth it imo.

Played this when it first came out then moved on. But have just revisited it for a bit of fun & had forgotten just how good it is. So if you fancy a good old shoot 'em up that builds with intensity & difficulty then give this a go. I'll be going back more often from now on.

Last weekend had a rather unexpected turn. I had everything planned for a cultural evening in Moscow, aiming for a blend of art and history at one of the city's renowned theaters. However, fate, it seems, had a different sort of entertainment in store for me. Thanks to a friend's insistent recommendation, I ended up giving "IS Defense" a shot. What was meant to be a brief diversion turned into hours of intense, unputdownable gameplay. "IS Defense" is a game that harks back to the arcade shooters of yore, offering a modern twist with its setting and mechanics. It's set in a fictional 2020, where you're tasked with defending Europe's shores from an invading force. The premise is simple, yet the game's execution is anything but. With its engaging turret-based defense mechanics, it offers a depth that I hadn't expected, drawing me in further with each wave of enemies. The game's graphics and sound design deserve a special mention. They work in tandem to create a thrilling atmosphere that keeps the adrenaline pumping. The visual fidelity isn't just for show; it helps in gauging the chaotic battlefield, allowing for strategic placement and prioritization of targets. The sound of gunfire and explosions adds a visceral layer to the experience, enhancing the overall immersion. What struck me the most about "IS Defense" was its simplicity in concept paired with its complexity in strategy. The game doesn't just challenge your reflexes; it tests your tactical acumen. Deciding when to upgrade your turret, call in air support, or simply hold the line against a seemingly insurmountable wave of adversaries becomes a thrilling juggle of risk and reward. However, it's not just the gameplay that makes "IS Defense" stand out. The game serves as a reminder of the power of digital experiences to captivate and entertain, often in ways we least expect. What was supposed to be a night exploring Moscow's theatrical offerings turned into a digital adventure that was just as enriching, albeit in a completely different realm. In conclusion, "IS Defense" is a gem of a game that offers more than meets the eye. It's a testament to the enduring appeal of arcade shooters, updated for the modern age with engaging mechanics, impressive audio-visuals, and a compelling gameplay loop. Whether you're a fan of the genre or simply looking for a diversion that can turn into a passion, "IS Defense" is well worth the detour. My trip to the theater might have been postponed, but in its place, I discovered an engaging battleground that captured my imagination and reflexes alike. Highly recommended!
