Orbit: Satellite Defense

About

Orbit: Satellite Defense drops you in charge of planetary security against waves of alien attacks. You direct a fleet of orbiting satellites, dragging them into strategic positions and assigning targets to intercept invaders. Resource management is key as you balance energy reserves to deploy new units or trigger large-scale planetary abilities that disrupt enemy formations. The single player campaign emphasizes quick thinking and adaptability, requiring you to shift tactics as threats evolve. The game’s tight control over satellite placement and manual targeting sets it apart from typical tower defense setups. Managing energy becomes a strategic puzzle, forcing tough choices between offense and defense. While community feedback is limited, early reviews praise its polished mechanics and the satisfying weight of each decision. The 2018 release still holds up for players seeking a cerebral take on real-time strategy.
