Rocket Destroyer
Defend the city from the sky
Free · In‑App Purchases · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
New: The Architect Returns. Ten new worlds, 900 levels, four new weapons and a new finale, the REFORGED ARCHITECT. Your progress can now live in your iCloud.
The skies are full of trouble: rockets, jets, bombers, gunships, UFOs, laser satellites and sky carriers, all heading for your city. Take the turret and hold the line.
Rocket Destroyer first launched on the App Store in July 2011. Fifteen years later it's back, rebuilt from scratch in landscape: 30 worlds, 900 levels and fourteen giant bosses.
Rocket Destroyer is a fast arcade anti-air defense game, played in landscape. Swing the barrel with your left thumb, hold FIRE with your right, swap weapons and unleash charged abilities.
NEW: THE ARCHITECT RETURNS
THE ARCHITECT fell at level 600, but it escaped through the rift, damaged, and it is rebuilding itself. Ten new worlds take the campaign to 900 levels, each with its own rule: shoot the clamps off Salvage Tugs, time the shutters of the Prism Bastion, cut the repair links of Vine Seeders, guard the relief ships at Convoy Crossing, hit linked pairs together in the Resonance Vault, turn rockets aside in the Sky Switchyard and stop Siege Rigs before they anchor. At the end of it all, in the Sovereign Citadel, the REFORGED ARCHITECT is waiting. Four new weapons join the arsenal, the Shard Cannon, Arc Loom, Drill Rocket and Echo Driver, and three new abilities are earned as you go: Mirror Screen, Target Beacon and Salvage Drone.
HOLIDAY OPS
Christmas, New Year, Valentine's Day, St. Patrick's Day, Midsummer and Halloween each bring five missions with their own sky, weather and enemies. Clear all five and the holiday's launcher skin is yours to keep. No lives needed.
30 WORLDS, 900 LEVELS
From Earth Defense and the Moon Outpost to The Void, the Warp Nexus, the Echo Rift and the Sovereign Citadel, every world has its own city and a special rule.
28 ENEMY TYPES AND 14 GIANT BOSSES
A boss on every 10th level, from the Mega Rocket to the Overmind, THE ARCHITECT and the REFORGED ARCHITECT, many with destructible parts that shield their core. Bring one down and the Gold Rush begins: gold crates rain from the sky and every one you shoot is coins.
23 WEAPONS, 20 ABILITIES
Blasters, flak, homing missiles, lasers, railguns, tesla coils, the Nova Cannon, Orbit Blades and now the Shard Cannon, Arc Loom, Drill Rocket and Echo Driver. Every gun has 12 upgrade levels with Mk III. Weapons open one at a time, so every new gun is an event. Call in EMP blasts, airstrikes, shields, time warps, drones and nukes, roll the city back with Rewind, put a Sentry Satellite in orbit or raise a Mirror Screen.
THE HANGAR
Fourteen base upgrades, from City Armor and Repair Drones to a Rail Mount that lets your launcher slide along the street. Stock up on emergency supplies (Repair Crew, Iron Dome, Deep Freeze, Sky Sweeper, Overcharge) and hit the EMERGENCY button when a battle goes wrong. A guided tour shows you every part of it.
FOUR DIFFICULTIES
Easy, Normal, Hard and Insane. Hard and Insane clears earn crowns that unlock extra turret skins.
MORE TO DO
A Daily Challenge with a streak, themed levels, a bonus medal on every level, close calls that pay, supply crates and power-ups, 21 turret skins, 24 avatars, 60 ranks, a daily supply drop, Endless mode, and Game Center leaderboards and achievements. Keep a copy of your game in your own iCloud and pick it up on a new iPhone or iPad. Play in English, Spanish, French, German or Brazilian Portuguese.
Every world unlocks by beating the one before it. You have five lives: a lost battle costs one and it comes back in 30 minutes, and winning costs nothing. In a hurry? Unlock a world early, grab the All Worlds Pass (every world, including the new ones) or pick up a coin pack, which also brings unlimited lives for a while.
No Ads. No tracking. Just games.
