Cosmic Defender

Play Cosmic Defender Online Free

Cosmic Defender 2.1 is a fast-paced, retro-styled vertical arcade shooter (Shmup) set against a cyberpunk sci-fi backdrop. Pilot the powerful Cosmic Defender starship to fend off a galaxy-wide invasion. Battle through multiple levels, destroying formations of diverse enemy types - from Interceptors to Juggernauts - that descend upon you. Clear the enemy ranks to engage and defeat a unique, powerful Boss at the end of each protocol level. Survive all challenges to face the ultimate Final Boss encounter. Earn high scores and track your lifetime statistics as you defend the cosmos.

Cosmic Defender is a free shooting game. It runs directly in your browser - there is nothing to download, nothing to install, and no account to create. It works on desktop and mobile alike, so you can start a session on one device and continue on another.

If you enjoy it, Bubble Shooter HD 3, Bubble Shooter Pro 4, Bubble Shooter Fruits sit in the same corner of the catalogue - same shooting feel, similar session length, and equally quick to start.
