## Defender 1 Reviews in United States

### **--- "Nostalgia only"
Bringing back the old school classic was a great idea but a failure in execution.  I like the joystick option for right or left hand play but it’s just not responsive at all.  Needs another update to fix it and app shows last update a year ago….
-- OldSchool70!, 2025-12-19

### **--- "Crashes to often"
Love this game, thanks for putting it together. Unfortunately it crashes often. Have to unload and reload to get rid of cache. Also little known hack of saving 3 or more astronauts then warping to a star gate isn’t included.
-- Lardbass, 2025-06-20

### *---- "Don’t Waste Your Money"
The controls are awful in my opinion. They needlessly made the entire joystick one small area of the screen and same with fire button. Your finger will stray away from the tiny joy stick and fire button every time. I played twice and deleted it. Sorry to be harsh but want to save people money.
-- Couch Pot8o, 2025-03-09

### ****- "Great game but no audio."
Please update this game, it’s super fun but the sound works intermittently on all my devices. The app is due for an update!
-- HabibiArt, 2024-01-08

### ****- "Excellent!"
nt but no sound on my iphone 13. Is there a fix?
-- Jim007TC, 2023-11-27

### **--- "Controls are awful"
Controls are awful, too sensitive for small screens and no way to adjust.
Don’t waste your money.
-- Johnny SciFi, 2023-11-24

### ***** "Defender"
I’ve loved this game since I was a kid. It would be awesome if you could add support for controllers like Backbone.
-- RBSemones, 2023-03-28

### ****- "Controls touchy but not really a problem"
Just like I remember except I thought it was possible to rescue survivors  on the floor. Not possible here
-- fragPUP, 2023-02-12

### **--- "No audio on iPad"
Great on iPhone but audio does not work on iPad
-- BravoKiloVictor, 2022-12-24

### *---- "Literally the worst"
This is literally the worst game I’ve ever downloaded. The controls are lackluster and the Audio doesn’t even work. Not muted. Just no sound. You are playing in silence.
-- Arondale, 2022-08-21
