2012 Defense Free (2009)

2012 Defense Free offers players a limited, free version of the original 2012 Defense game, allowing gameplay for the first 20 days with restricted access to enemies and weaponry. Despite these limitations, the game provides a full experience of strategic defense and combat against alien forces.

Background Story

The Maya civilization historically warned that 2012 would mark the “End of Times,” as their long-count calendar concludes on December 21, 2012. Some individuals continue to believe that humans are not the ultimate owners of Earth; rather, our existence is intrinsically linked to the planet. This connection between humanity and Earth plays a critical role in the events depicted within the game.

In the year 2000, the United States Government and the United Nations initiated a significant cover-up concerning a discovery that could determine humanity’s survival. Deep within a hidden cave in Texas, a secret division of the US Army uncovered remnants of a prehistoric battle between entities resembling robots. Scientific analysis indicated that these remains dated back approximately 300 million years.

During a subsequent mapping mission, a team identified the cause of the ancient conflict: a functioning “Anti-matter Power Tap” (AMPT), a small box emitting pulsing lights. This groundbreaking discovery fueled advancements in military and civilian technology, including the development of long-range space travel. To maintain operational security, the US Government constructed a high-tech base at the excavation site, placing it under the authority of the United States Unified Space Command (USUSC). Scientists from multiple military branches worked continuously to decipher the alien technology, resulting in significant technological breakthroughs.

On Monday, October 17, 2012, a young scientist noticed an accelerated pulsing of the AMPT, signaling potential danger. Two days later, three individuals equipped with formidable weaponry appeared at the base, representing a previously unknown international team. By October 21, 2012, the USUSC/UN Space Station “Lady Luu” detected large groups of unidentified flying objects rapidly approaching Earth. On October 23, 2012, numerous robots breached the atmosphere in search of an unknown target, coinciding with the AMPT ceasing its pulsing. At this moment, all alien craft redirected their path toward Texas.

2012 Defense Free is a fun little tower defense game with a cool alien invasion story. The graphics are clear, the controls are easy, and it gives a good taste of strategy without overwhelming you. You can try different weapons and call in support, which keeps it interesting for short sessions.

However, this free version is very limited. You only get the first 20 days and a few types of enemies and guns. If you want the full experience, you will need to upgrade. Still, for a free game, it’s enjoyable and gives a solid preview of what the full version offers.

We recommend trying it if you like casual strategy games with a sci-fi twist. It’s simple, fun, and worth a quick play, but don’t expect the full challenge from this version alone.
