Missile Fight

Read full description

Welcome to MISSILE FIGHT — a retro missile defense game with a classic CRT screen effect, inspired by 1980s arcade cabinets. DEFEND YOUR CITIES Protect your cities and missile bases from waves of incoming enemy missiles raining from the sky. Tap anywhere on screen to launch an interceptor — it automatically fires from your nearest base with ammo. ONE-TAP GAMEPLAY No complicated controls. Just tap, and a missile fires. Simple to learn, deep to master: precise timing and accurate targeting are what separate a good run from a great one. ESCALATING WAVES Every wave is faster, more crowded, and more strategic than the last. Some enemies split mid-flight and multiply, others dodge your interceptors with erratic maneuvers. How long can you last? BEAT YOUR HIGH SCORE Your high score is saved on your device, and you can climb the global Game Center leaderboard. Chase your personal best, challenge your friends to top it. 80s ARCADE ATMOSPHERE Flickering CRT scanlines, a vignette overlay, and a retro neon color palette bring the feel of a classic arcade cabinet straight to your pocket. 14 LANGUAGES IN GAME The game itself is translated into 14 languages and automatically adapts to your device's system language. COMPLETELY OFFLINE No internet connection required to play. Play on a plane, on the subway, or anywhere you're offline. SOUND ON/OFF Mute anytime for silent play, or turn sound on for the full retro atmosphere. FREE TO PLAY Missile Fight is completely free, with no ads and no subscriptions. Your bases refill with free missiles at the start of every wave, so you can play forever at no cost. If you ever want extra firepower mid-wave, an optional 5-missile pack is available — purely optional; the game never forces it. Ready to defend your cities? Download now and start stopping the waves!
