Salvage Space Wrecks
Moon Nazis. Spaceships. Bad news all around. Fight as an elite pilot in an open-world space battlefield, upgrade your ships, and stop history from getting a second round — this time in orbit.
Developed by Reality Pump · Published by TopWare Interactive









In an alternate history where a Nazi force launches an invasion from a secret Moon base, you pilot one of Earth’s defenders in the battle between Earth and the Moon.
Fly through an open space battlefield to take on missions, intercept enemy fighters, assault larger ships, and defend satellites and space stations with lasers, missiles, and other weapons.
Salvage wreckage for resources and improve your ships in the hangar. You can choose among five spacecraft and shift power between engines, shields, and weapons to suit the demands of a fight.
Players who enjoy the game often point to its outlandish Moon-invasion premise and comic tone, along with the freedom of fighting across one open space battlefield. Some also like shifting power between ship systems and building up ships with salvage. Other reviews find the combat repetitive and the controls or targeting awkward; opinions also differ on the live-action scenes and voice acting.
Do not be afraid. Or maybe do.
In 1945, a group of Nazis escaped to the dark side of the Moon. There they waited, built a secret moon base, and spent more than 70 years planning a comeback absolutely nobody asked for. Bad ideas rarely disappear on their own.
In 2018, they finally made their move: the Fourth Reich attacked Earth. From lunar orbit came an invasion fleet proving that, with enough Helium-3, megalomania can apparently become spaceworthy. Humanity faced an overwhelming threat — and, as usual, the rescue plan was alarmingly improvised.
That is where you come in.
Take control, pilot, and fight the Moon Nazis in Earth’s orbit in Iron Sky: Invasion. Explore an open space map, survive enemy attack waves, complete missions, upgrade your ships, and prove that one elite pilot can sometimes be the difference between “Earth saved” and “historically catastrophic relapse, now with spaceships.”
Become the next legend of space combat — or at least the person who survives long enough to face the Götterdämmerung in the final battle.

Dogfights, capital-ship assaults, and everything else the Moon Reich has coming
