Ark Defenders Remastered revives the classic mobile arcade shooter with enhanced visuals, improved gameplay, and intense space combat. After a brutal invasion by an ancient alien race known as The Ancients, humanity was pushed to the brink of extinction. The few survivors scavenged alien technology and built a massive spacecraft known as The Ark to flee a ruined Earth. After years drifting through the galaxy in search of a new home, The Ark has finally been discovered. Now, The Ancients have returned to finish what they started. As the fleet’s most skilled pilot, you must take to the stars and defend humanity’s last sanctuary against overwhelming enemy forces. The fate of mankind rests in your hands. You are humanity’s last hope.
