About the Game

Drone Wars is a hyper-realistic first-person shooter that drops you into the brutal, drone-dominated battlefields of a fractured near-future America. Armed with drones and limited resources, you’ll fight from the skies and the ground in a tactical war for survival.

Play as rival drone pilots in a world where war is privatized, citizenship is earned through combat, and every shot counts. With no HUD, minimal ammo, and permadeath in single-player, Drone Wars demands awareness, precision, and strategy. Every mission is a test of skill, and every mistake could be your last.

Switch between on-foot combat and real-time drone control as you infiltrate, sabotage, and outsmart your enemies. Your story unfolds through cinematic cutscenes that explore the lives of soldiers, criminals, and civilians drawn into a war they never asked for.

FEATURES:

  • 🎮 First-person, no-HUD tactical gameplay

  • 🔊 Sound & Sight based enemy detection

  • 🚁 Use drones to hunt down the enemy

  • 💀 Permadeath system for brutal realism

  • 🤝 Squad-based multiplayer with distinct combat roles

  • 🎥 Narrative-driven campaign with mature themes including war trauma, addiction, and moral ambiguity

  • 💣 High lethality: No bullet-sponge enemies
