About

Moon Defence, released in 2021, is an engaging action indie game that invites players to stand still and fight for Earthlings across the Solar System. The unique gameplay mechanics revolve around accumulating energy to repair, build, and conduct research, all while unraveling an unthinkable truth. Its blend of strategic resource management and fast-paced combat makes it a notable title for fans of the genre.

In terms of PC performance, Moon Defence is quite accessible, requiring only an entry-level GPU with a minimum score of around 1052. Players can expect to achieve decent FPS even on modest systems, provided they have at least 6 GB of RAM. For optimal performance, GPUs from the low-end tier, like the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050 or AMD Radeon RX 560, will handle the game well, allowing for smooth gameplay at moderate graphics settings.

If you appreciate action-packed indie titles with a unique twist, Moon Defence is worth your time. With its intriguing premise and solid gameplay mechanics, it has received favorable ratings that reflect its appeal to gamers looking for a fun and immersive experience.

Performance profile

Released in July 2021, Moon Defence targets RTX 20/30-series and RX 6000-era hardware. A current mid-range GPU (RTX 4060 Ti / RX 7700 XT) is the sweet spot for 1440p Ultra; 4K needs a high-end card.

Action titles like Moon Defence reward high framerates for visual clarity during combat. A mid-range modern GPU at 1440p 60–120 FPS is the practical sweet spot; VRR (G-Sync/FreeSync) smooths out drops during heavy effects.

Extremely light — Moon Defence runs at 60 FPS 1080p on any integrated GPU (Intel Iris Xe, AMD Radeon Graphics) or a decade-old discrete card like the GTX 1050. A current-gen RTX 4060 pushes 4K Ultra without effort.
