Drone Strike: Engineer Simulator

I would say this is what you would expect from a "Drone Simulator". Its pretty fun but I wish the missions was a bit longer. Also feel more of an open-world would be more fun to fly around in, but understand the "battery mechanic" would have to be removed for that I guess. You get to customize your drone a bit, nothing too fancy but still its a thing. 3 maps that is being re-used between the missions. I like the style of the city map, kinda a bit like "cyberpunk" feel but at the same time its not. I finished the missions in 100 min, but didnt try the "race" mode. The game is released in early access so hopefully maps, missions etc. will be added in the future. For the price I cant do anything else than recommend this, I enjoyed my time with it and will check from time to time to check out the upcoming updates.

At first glance, it seems like just another "fly-around-and-shoot-things" game, but once you get into it, you start realizing it’s got a little more depth than you'd expect. The controls are tight, which is a big win in this genre – none of that floaty, awkward movement that makes you want to quit after five minutes. What really gets you hooked though, is the pacing. It’s fast enough to keep your adrenaline up, but not so fast that it turns into a spam-fest where you’re just blindly firing. The difficulty curve’s decent too, throwing in just enough challenge to make you feel like a boss when you nail a difficult mission, but it doesn’t feel like the devs are actively trying to crush your spirit. The visuals aren’t groundbreaking, but they do the job. No one’s expecting Cyberpunk 2077 here, but it’s clean enough to not get in the way of the action. The drones themselves look solid, and blowing stuff up still has that satisfying boom that never gets old. The progression system’s pretty chill too – you don’t feel forced to grind for hours to unlock the good stuff, but you definitely get rewarded for sticking with it. And if you’re into customization, the game doesn’t just throw a bunch of skins at you; you can actually tweak your loadout and drones in ways that impact gameplay, not just for show. All in all, it’s a fun ride if you're looking for something to kill time with, but it’s got enough substance to keep you coming back for more.

the game is pretty simple, but that's part of its charm. A nice way to spend some time without too much effort. If you're not looking for challenging gameplay, it’s a fun experience

An atmospheric game with some really fun missions. The story might be a bit lacking, but the solid mechanics more than make up for it. A good steal for just a dollar

xopowo👌

I want to like this game. Neat idea behind it, decent enough framework and UI, but the levels and missions are just so thin, one-note, and lack any meat to bite into. Finished the game in 3.2 hours, and that was including the runtime where it would hang and crash loading into a level that required grabbers, did not say it required grabbers, and my drone was not equipped with grabbers. So really, under 3 hours. There's no lore/plot/story to follow, the missions are all single-objective and usually didn't have anything stopping you from just moving from Point A to Point B when the objective is "Get to Point B". I really really want to play this again when they expand on it, but as it is right now it's not anything to spend your time on. Would love to chat with the developers, not currently seeing any means of doing that.

German: Für den Preis, wie es angeboten wird, ist das Spiel vollkommen in Ordnung. Die Missionen an sich sind aber doch etwas sehr leicht und nicht wirklich eine Herausforderung. Insgesamt gibt es 3 Arten von Missionen und 3 Maps. Neben dem Story Mode (Spielzeit 1-2 Std.) gibt es noch ein Race Mode, welches eher an das Klassische Drohnen fliegen erinnert.

The missions themselves are very easy and not really a challenge. There are 3 types of missions and 3 maps in total. In addition to the story mode (playing time 1-2 hours), there is also a race mode, which is more reminiscent of classic drone flying.

C'est un petit jeu vraiment sympa et pas cher. Il se finit assez rapidement, mais ce n'est que le début du jeu (la première campagne). Ça manque de difficulté : le jeu est vraiment très simple. Cependant, tout est facile à comprendre et à réaliser. Je recommande ce jeu pour son prix abordable et j'espère voir plus de difficulté ainsi que des ajouts dans le gameplay à l'avenir !

Being a $1 game, gotta say not bad! Controls are good. I wish the missions where more connected, like doing multiple objectives in a missions to make it more engaging. Also wish we could explore the maps with no missions just for fun. But otherwise, it's perfectly fine for what it is vs the price. https://youtu.be/TLMs1qsvDEM

It's a simple game, its city setting is good, but the country setting leaves something to be desired. There are several upgrades that are a well-formulated system, but they lose their importance due to the status of the drone, you don't need to worry about the weight or speed. The combat AI is bad, they will practically never see you, the combat lacks emotion, both in terms of gameplay and the soundtrack. The phases are very simple, but they escalate over time. The game is in early access and all these problems are easy to solve in the future.
