About Drone Wars

✦ AI summary

Drone Wars puts you in control of an easy-to-fly drone for fast-paced multiplayer combat across seven different game modes including team deathmatch, survival, and capture-the-point scenarios. With no one-shot weapons and accessible flight controls, every battle stays competitive and fair whether you're dueling solo or fighting alongside teammates.

Our goal with drone wars is it to create a fun, simple, but unique and fair multiplayer experience.

What you can expect from this game:
  • Controlling the drone is simple and easy, so no flight training needed, just jump right in and have fun!
  • No one-shot weapons. Under normal circumstances there are no one-shot weapons, so you always have the chance to put up a fight if you get attacked from behind.

The game currently supports 7 different game modes, but there will probably be more in the future.
  • Drone: Team deathmatch
  • Drones vs Humans: Team deathmatch
  • Drones vs Humans: Wipeout - Survive as human until a rescue force arrives, or as a drone try to kill all the remaining humans before the timer runs out. Every dying human ends up as a drone.
  • Drone: Arena - Last drone flying
  • Drone: Deathmatch
  • Drone: Capture Points - Capture and defend the capture-points
  • Human: Team Deathmatch
After each game mode, you will have the option to vote for the next game mode (can be disabled by server admins)

Игра 'Drone Wars' – это увлекательная стратегия, сочетающая в себе элементы Tower Defense и RTS. Игроку предстоит строить и развивать свою базу, попутно отбиваясь от волн вражеских дронов и параллельно отправляя собственные войска в атаку. Геймплей довольно динамичный, требует быстрой реакции и стратегического мышления. Мне понравилось разнообразие дронов и апгрейдов, что позволяет создавать уникальные комбинации и тактики. Графика простенькая, но функциональная, всё понятно и читаемо. Звуковое сопровождение создает нужную атмосферу напряженности. Однако, игра не лишена недостатков. Иногда баланс кажется немного несправедливым, и некоторые этапы проходятся с большим трудом. Также, хотелось бы больше режимов игры и более развитую сюжетную линию. В целом, 'Drone Wars' – это добротная и затягивающая игра, способная увлечь на несколько часов. Рекомендую любителям жанра, особенно тем, кто ищет что-то новое и оригинальное. Твёрдая четверка из пяти!

The game feels very much like a project in-progress. You start a local server with a .bat file (from outside of Steam) and then you connect to it to join the match. What's inside the match is basically nowhere close to any kind of actual drone physics. You're just a flying rotating turret. You move in 4 general directions, and one of the controller buttons seemed to be making you go "up", but I haven't found the button to go "down". You also shoot. Due to it's clunkiness it doesn't have any players. Seems much more work is needed for it to actually have a go at being "playable", let alone exciting. It is a game, yes. It's also free, so why not try it. Positive opinnion to encourage the dev.

Games like Dying Light, where nightfall changes the rules

Games like Dying Light are easy to find if you only want parkour or only want zombies. These eight keep the part that matters: a city that becomes a different place after dark.

Games like Portal 2, where one idea carries the whole game

Games like Portal 2 all share one habit: teach a single impossible trick, then spend a campaign breaking it. From rewinding objects through time to Escher geometry that loops back on itself.

Planet Coaster DLC: skip the collection, buy the packs

The Planet Coaster DLC catalogue closed in 2019, so there is no curve left to wait out. Our record shows the collection bundle costs far more than assembling the same packs one by one.

Toxic Commando Game Pass: subscribe, or buy the key?

The Toxic Commando Game Pass add landed on 12 November. Our price record since late September shows the key route barely moved, which changes what a subscription is worth.

Games like Titanfall 2, for the pilot or for the Titan

Titanfall 2's campaign changed its own rules every mission. Games like Titanfall 2 that keep one part of it — the wall-running, the mech, or a campaign that never settles.

It Takes Two cannot be played alone, and that is the whole design. Games like It Takes Two that give each player a different job — including one that makes do with a single pair of hands.
