Hold onto your blasters, because Taito – the developers of the OG Space Invaders – have unleashed Space Invaders: World Defense, a 3D augmented reality (AR) extravaganza that turns your smartphone into an alien-blasting weapon. Picture this: you’re waving your phone around in the air like you’re swatting digital mosquitoes, all in the name of defending Earth from an extraterrestrial invasion. That’s one way to get those arm muscles in shape, right? Welcome to the 21st-century workout routine, where Pokémon GO meets intergalactic cardio!

And if you’re ready to embrace your inner space-pilot, you can snag this quirky game on iOS and on Android right now! Prepare to go head-to-head with pixelated invaders who’ve decided Earth is the hottest tourist spot in the universe. These little buggers are leveling up – they’re now masters of evasion, peeking out from behind buildings and doing their best dodgeball impressions. Who knew aliens had taken improv classes?
Be warned though, this isn’t just a solo mission. It’s an international showdown, as players team up across the globe to squash these pixel-pushers before they can beam up any more unsuspecting cows. High scores and special power-ups are the name of the game, and we’re praying that among those power-ups is a “Death Star Superlaser” option. Let’s be real, we could all use a planet-blasting tool to level the playing field. Otherwise, we’re leading the charge, and trust us, Earth’s fate is doomed if we’re in charge of fending off an all out alien invasion. We still can’t even fold a fitted sheet, let alone save the world.
