What is the goal of Nova Defender?
Nova Defender puts you in charge of a barrage tower that has to hold back squads of monsters across several dozen levels. Each level sends another squad at your position, and the goal is to keep the defense standing while the waves keep arriving.
How do you get resources in Nova Defender?
Resources in Nova Defender drop from defeated enemies. Killing the monsters that attack the tower is what pays for expansion, so the squads arriving are both the threat you face and the income you need in order to build anything more.
What can you build in Nova Defender?
Alongside the barrage tower itself, Nova Defender lets you construct other buildings using the resources dropped by defeated enemies. Automatic turrets are part of that defense too, so the base grows out of the loot each wave of monsters leaves behind.
Can you upgrade your character in Nova Defender?
Yes. The main character in Nova Defender has parameters that can be improved, so the hero gets stronger over a run in the same way the base does. That gives you two places to invest: the character you steer and the buildings around the tower.
How many levels does Nova Defender have?
Nova Defender is described as running for several dozen levels of monster squads, without an exact count. The practical way to approach Nova Defender unblocked is therefore to build a defense that can keep scaling rather than one tuned for the wave in front of you.
Do the turrets in Nova Defender shoot by themselves?
Yes. Nova Defender gives you automatic turrets, so once they are set up they engage the monsters without further input from you. That leaves you free to move the main character and to spend dropped resources on new buildings while the defense fires.
