What is Nemesis? Nemesis is a theoretical brown dwarf star in orbit around our own sun, which may even have its own planetary system. Nemesis is also a 3D space shooter for the iPhone, iPad and Apple TV. (Want to try before you buy? Check out Nemesis Lite, also available in the app store.) The year is 3000... humanity has extended it's domain to the farthest reaches of the solar system. The new frontier is Nemesis, a star system rich with resources. Unfortunately, no one seems to agree on who owns this new frontier. Fight for your claim in this brave new world against ruthless enemies! Gameplay modes now include a campaign mode which can be played single-player or with a friend over wifi; and a death-match mode which can be played single-player or with up to 3 friends over wifi. VR headsets are now supported. While in VR mode, you can adjust: the screen size; vertical and horizontal position; the amount of parallax (that is, the space between your two virtual eyes); and whether or not your head movements are tracked. A VR headset and an external controller such as an extended gamepad are required. External controllers are also supported - both the standard profile (the one without thumbsticks) and the extended profile (the one with thumbsticks.) Our future is in your hands! Features: * Includes both a campaign mode and death-match mode, both of which can be played in single-player or multiplayer over wifi. * VR headset support. * Gamepad support (both the standard and extended profiles.) * Remote Control - control Nemesis 1.9 on tvOS or iOS via Nemesis 1.9 running on an iOS device. (Requires wifi.) * Beautiful graphics! * Intricately rendered explosion and smoke effects. * Nine unlockable ships and 10 unlockable environments. * Realistic physics. * Brutal AI. * 25 different power-ups, for all kinds of ways to smite your foes. * Listen to your own music while saving humanity. * Play in first person or third person modes. * Six different skill settings, from "practice" to "ace" in death-match; 5 skill settings in campaign. * User settable kill-limit in death-match mode. * Multi-player over wifi.

Defend London from the attack of Hitler in this spectacular 3D game where you can handle planes, antiaircraft, jeeps, commandos and bombers. Play over 36 varied and exciting missions or challenge a friend to play a multiplayer game by wifi in a local network. In Defend London the action is frenetic, the dogfight is continuous, half second of doubt is the difference between life and death. -Fight in diverse scenarios: City, Mountain, Ocean. -Various atmospheric states: Clear sky, cloudy, night. -Each mission you complete gives you one more medal. -Total freedom of movement and turns on airplanes. -Collisions with buildings and mountains. -Adaptation of the jeep to the mountain. -Real buildings recreation. Game Tips: When you drive the jeep and you are attacked by enemy fighters, try to get under them so they can not shoot you. When you drive the plane near the mountains, the enemy planes have more difficult to shoot you. With the command, keep moving to avoid enemy fire. When driving a bomber and they are peppering the spitfire, keep focus on your target to bomb, because the mission is completed if your target is destroyed, even if your bomber drops a few seconds later. When you are head on with an enemy plane, try to hit with the two bursts of gunfire, so you will destroy soon.

Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Nemesis at 80% against Defend London's 54%. Nemesis also leads on update cadence (every 3 months vs every 12 months). Defend London's advantage is rating (4.3 vs 4.0) and ratings volume (52 vs 2). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Nemesis costs $1.99 and Defend London $1.99 up front. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Defend London holds the better App Store score, 4.3 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Defend London has 52 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 80% of Nemesis's written reviews are positive against 54% of Defend London's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Nemesis ships an update every 3 months, Defend London every 12 months. The most recent releases landed on November 1, 2026 and November 10, 2026 respectively.
