The aliens have returned to invade after a thousand years of calm. The only way to stop them is to activate the Defense Grid and force them away, as previously done.
Defense Grid: The Awakening is a tower defense game in which you direct the placement of several types of structures to protect against invading aliens. The aliens attack in waves, becoming more powerful and numerous as the game advances. The game consists of a series of objectives that must be accomplished to guard the power cores from the invaders.
There are various sorts of towers, each with its own advantages and disadvantages, each of which can be improved to improve its efficacy. Placing and upgrading buildings requires resources, which can be obtained by defeating aliens or earning interest in your current store of resources. In addition to the towers, the player will receive an orbital laser that can be launched, on rare occasions, to instantly eradicate the aliens at the point of impact, with the disadvantage that no resources will be acquired from them.
If the player completes the tasks, he will be awarded a medal (bronze, silver, or gold) based on the number of cores remaining and the number of points obtained. Completing tasks unlocks later missions and other play modes for the completed assignment, such as a challenge mode with more powerful aliens or a game with limited towers.
