Gameplay

  • Hardcore real-time tactics focused on realistic simulation of modern firefights guided from the drone.

  • Take the lead of six brave soldiers, split into four squads: Alpha, Bravo, Charlie and Echo.

  • Orchestrate actions of your troops in real-time from the drone flying above the battlefield.

  • Suppress your enemies and storm their positions.

  • Use a variety of equipment, such as rocket launchers, bomb drones, and artillery barrages, to break through especially tough defenses.

  • Avoid casualties.

  • Use Level Editor and Community Workshop to create your own combat experiences and share them with other drone operators.

  • Note! This is not a conventional RTS, but hardcore RTT. Never maneuver without suppressive fire — it will never end well.

Story

Your country is invaded. Military organization VEIL invites you to join as a tester for their new drone-based warfare communication system.

You can impact the situation on the battlefield directly from your home PC. Connect to the variety of drones and provide guidance to the troops in the field.

Your squad is equipped with the new generation of combat visors and will be able to receive your direct guidance from the sky.

They put trust in you and will shoot or move wherever you tell them, but be careful and weigh every step, because the price of your mistake is someone’s life.

Meta-Gameplay

  • Use in-game operation system called VEIL OS to connect to your missions.

  • Manage emails, install and maintain OS software to make sure you're using up-to-date technology.

  • Witness eerie events and try to uncover the truth in the conspiracy surrounding your employer, VEIL CORP.

  • Use help from the outside to affect the fabric of in-game reality and change the outcome of existing events.

  • Be careful whom you trust.

Use remote environment called VEIL OS to connect to your missions and to navigate through conspiracies in reality-bending meta-gameplay.

Equipment

If the situation is dire, use bomb drone to clean your way.

Or rocket launchers, to find the new ways of resolving tactical puzzles.

Create your own combat experiences and share them with other drone operators in Community Workshop. (You can unlock it during the story).


Witness with your own eyes why modern war is not a Hollywood movie.
