Overview

Aegis of Earth: Protonovus Assault is a 2015 real-time tactics video game developed and published by Acquire in Japan, with a western release by Aksys Games (North America) and PQube (Europe) coming the following year.

Aegis of Earth is set fifty years after a deadly event known as the "Silent Apocalypse". This catastrophic event brought forth various creatures hellbent on destroying humanity. Accompanying the arrival of the creatures was a new element called altenite, which stands as earth's last hope at survival. In the time prior to the game's beginnings, the surviving humans have built fortified cities which have since protected them from various assaults. However, with the approaching "Altered States" and continuous monster attacks, the inhabitants must prepare while continuing to expand and defend their cities.

The PlayStation Vita version sold 2,831 copies within its first week of release in Japan, which placed it 15th of the weekly sales charts. The PlayStation 3 version failed to make the list. These sales were considered disappointing.

Aegis of Earth: Protonovus Assault received mixed reviews from critics as reported by aggregate review website Metacritic.
