What it is
Iron Sky: Invasion is a space combat simulation in which you pilot spacecraft against an invasion fleet attacking Earth from the Moon. Its story places the conflict in Earth’s orbit, where you take on missions, face enemy attack waves, and try to stop the Fourth Reich. The battlefield is an open space map between Earth and the Moon. You can upgrade ships and choose among five playable craft: Dundee, Spitfire, Banzai, Canadarm³, and Xerg, each described as having distinct strengths, weaknesses, and combat roles. Weapons include lasers, missiles, and plasma weapons. The game is single-player and lists adjustable difficulty, full controller support, custom volume controls, achievements, trading cards, stereo sound, and Family Sharing.
