LAST SQUADRON
Earth's Final Defence
A signal from beyond the Kuiper Belt went unsolved for three days. On the fourth day it answered: the sky split and the Hive fleet settled into Earth orbit. Satellites fell within the hour and command chains broke. All that held were scattered airbases. Earth is defended region by region now — and in this phase four nations' fighters fly.
The boss does not arrive on a timer. Each mission is built from waves, and a wave ends only when enough enemies fall. Mission length follows your performance.
Every mission has four objectives on every difficulty: Operation Complete, Full Sweep, Steel Wing, Untouched. 320 insignia in total.
Four national fighters plus six hangar aircraft. Each has its own firing pattern, and pattern crates collected in flight let you switch between them.
Easy, Hard, Very Hard, Impossible. Higher tiers unlock with insignia; enemies fire more often and arrive in greater numbers.
Spend credits to raise your pilot's intellect, endurance, agility and fire rate; buy new aircraft from the hangar and prepare consumables.
It begins over Anatolia, passes the Bosphorus and Mecca, and ends on Mars and the plasma worlds. Nobody knows what waits beyond the rift.
In this phase four nations' fighters and four pilots are in the field.
