About This 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.

AI Generated Content Disclosure

The developers describe how their game uses AI Generated Content like this:

Drone Wars uses AI-generated visuals in a limited capacity for early development. Specifically, some cutscenes currently use AI-generated placeholder animations or imagery to represent scenes that will be replaced with fully animated, custom content before final release. AI is not used for gameplay, character behavior, dialogue, or decision-making. These temporary assets serve as visual stand-ins during development and do not reflect the final artistic direction of the game.

Mature Content Description

The developers describe the content like this:

Drone Wars portrays the harsh realities of modern warfare through a grounded, realistic lens. The game contains mature themes including graphic violence, wartime trauma, and morally complex character backstories. Some narrative elements explore sensitive topics such as drug abuse, criminal activity, and psychological distress as part of the characters’ experiences before and during the conflict. While there are no depictions of sexual assault or non-consensual acts, players should be advised that the game includes strong language, substance use, and realistic depictions of combat injuries and death. These elements are intended to reflect the brutal consequences of war.
