About This Game

(I'm so excited you're here)

DRONES is a strategic, physics-based auto battler, deckbuilder. But, the deck is the ENEMY. You're forced to choose the enemies you'll  fight. Protect the Sol system one planet at a time by building a team of drones, upgrades, and items to overpower and manipulate the deck of monsters!

(I like to call it a "Deckbreaker", because you're mostly trying to destroy the deck you're forced to build)

Physics-Focused Auto Battles

Each encounter deals waves of enemy cards from the deck. Discard the enemies that are too hard, reorder your drones for better matchups, apply enemy card modifiers, then engage and let your drones handle the rest. Combat is entirely physics-based, so there are no dice rolls, only visceral fast paced battles where tiny adjustments change the outcome.

(the physics combat is a big deal to me, I think it's a blast and a great twist on auto battlers)

Many Ways to Win

Purchase a wide range of drones, munitions, hacks, modulators, and components, creating wildly different builds from run to run. Drone and item variance is high, so new synergies constantly emerge. Experimenting with unfamiliar combos is how you create winning strategies. 

Story in a Deckbuilder

Choose from 20+ loadouts (at launch) that massively impact your playstyle. Many can be unlocked via achievements and story missions that unlock powerful, unique loadouts. The story missions teach you more about this far future where humans are gone and AI has found itself needing a human touch once again.

(story in a deckbuilder!? I've always wanted this: something light but gives some lore and "why")

Lore

DRONES Corp created, DRONES, and sent the game back in time so humans can sign on as contractors that control their advanced arsenal of drones to protect the Sol system from invading monsters. The AI Corporation realized they can't continue without human influence. DRONES Corp is altruistic and direct and has the best approach to keep the future bright. So you're told by your trainer drone, SAY. Though, they say they haven't had direct communication with the DRONES Corp mothership in centuries. 
(oh boy, this all sound totally cool with no twists and turns at all)

Stay a While

With enough success, I'll be updating DRONES all the time, and if you buy the game, you own it. I wont be charging for more content. Most of all, I hope you have fun!
