About

The Earth is in pieces… again! We’ve gotta do more to save the planet!

After Dark Tyrant was defeated, peace was restored on the square Earth—but now, it has been broken into pieces once again. We watched the skies, assuming any new enemies would come from above—which is why we were surprised when the supermassive “Gaiarch” emerged from below ground, shattering the Earth into pieces. YOU are the legendary Commander that once saved our planet. Now, we need you to lead another team to save our Earth again. The Earth Defense Force never back away from defending the Earth, be it round or square—so let’s go to the rescue!
