Galaxy Defenders: Operation Strikeback

$74.90 SRP

NPI

As the Agency plans the assault on the Alien Moon base, new technologies are studied and new weapons are readied. A gigantic shuttle transports the team and part of the Agency HQ to Earth’s natural satellite.

Arriving on the Moon, the team and the agency gape in wonder at the alien technology. The Moon surface is changed, completely wrapped in an invisible force field that allows them to breathe. Even gravity has been increased to Earth-like values – all without altering the Moon’s structure. But the scientific supremacy of the invading Alien army also hides the exact location of its base. The Agents will have to search each sector, to find and defeat the invaders!

Galaxy Defenders: Operation Strikeback is the first campaign expansion for Galaxy Defenders. In Operation Strikeback, the Agency prepares to counterattack the Alien invaders launching a strike against the alien base on the dark side of the Moon. The scenarios included in the expansion develop the storyline begun with the campaign included in the Core Set.

Operation Strikeback adds many new features and new mechanics, introducing new aliens, new powers and new characters. The Master Aliens - the highest-ranked invaders in the Alien Army - are introduced in this expansion. To win the final battle, the Agents will have to fight the gigantic Wormoon, heavily armored and armed monster with impressive abilities and a terrible bite that can tear an armored agent apart!

Such opponents cannot be fought without the right equipment, and the GD Agency has created new “toys” for the agents, including the extremely versatile Power Suits, that improve the Agents’ movement, giving him the ability to fly, as well as enhancing his combat abilities.

This time our heroes will not be alone in facing the Aliens…Thanks to the knowledge the Agency acquired during the first conflict, a new ally stands as a pillar of virtue for goodness and law: the members of project Knights!

Galaxy Defenders: Extinction Protocol is the second campaign expansion for Galaxy Defenders, and can be used with or without Operation Strikeback. The agents cross a portal to the invaders’ home planet to fight the final battle against the Aliens - The adventure begins after the Agents defeat the Aliens on the Moon in Operation Strikeback.

Extinction Protocol adds many new features and new mechanics, introducing new aliens and new characters. Master Aliens, the highest-ranked invaders in the Alien Army are present in this set, including the Kingator - a giant half reptile and half war-drone - and the Alien Queen, a nearly invincible opponent who can poison her victims before she finishes them with her dreadful claws.

The Agents can face these new enemies wearing lethal Power Armor, the ultimate mobile exoskeletons capable of imbuing Agents with new unique powers and awesome firepower!

Agents are no longer alone in this war, as Extinction Protocol introduces a Non-Player Character (NPC) system, allowing intelligent non-player agents to fight side by side with the GD squad. The underground of the alien planet is formed by endless narrow corridors and caves, represented by a new system of Modular Map Tiles, fully compatible with all previous maps of the game.
