Bad game
Drone Swarm is a science-fiction real-time strategy title developed by stillalive studios and published by astragon Entertainment. Built around one highly ambitious idea, the game places players in command of a massive swarm consisting of tens of thousands of drones that act as both a weapon and a shield. Rather than relying on traditional RTS mechanics such as constructing bases, harvesting resources, and managing numerous unit types, Drone Swarm focuses almost entirely on controlling this enormous cloud of autonomous machines. The result is a game that feels refreshingly different from many of its genre counterparts and offers a strategic experience centered on precision, adaptation, and creativity. The story follows the crew of the Argo, humanity’s final faster-than-light spacecraft, as they search the galaxy for a new home. This narrative backdrop gives purpose to the campaign and transforms the experience into more than a series of disconnected battles. Throughout the journey, players encounter hostile forces, make decisions regarding their route, and interact with various events that shape the voyage. While the plot does not redefine science-fiction storytelling, it successfully creates a sense of urgency and exploration that keeps the campaign engaging from beginning to end. The heart of the game lies in its innovative drone control system. Players command a swarm of 32,000 individually simulated drones that can be redirected instantly to attack enemies, intercept incoming fire, or form protective barriers around the mothership. The swarm behaves almost like a living organism, flowing across the battlefield in response to commands. This mechanic introduces a unique tactical layer where positioning and timing matter far more than numerical superiority. Every encounter becomes a test of how effectively players can manipulate their swarm to overcome increasingly dangerous threats. Combat is both visually impressive and strategically demanding. Enemy ships possess different strengths, weaknesses, and attack patterns that force players to adjust their approach constantly. Some opponents overwhelm with heavy firepower, while others rely on shields, special abilities, or superior mobility. Since the drone swarm serves multiple purposes simultaneously, players must decide whether to focus on offense, defense, or a balance of both. Sending too many drones into an attack may expose the Argo to devastating damage, while playing too cautiously can allow enemies to gain control of the battlefield. This constant balancing act creates tension and keeps battles engaging throughout the campaign. Another strength of Drone Swarm is its progression system. As players advance through the story, they unlock new technologies, abilities, and upgrades that expand tactical possibilities. Enhancements for the swarm and the mothership encourage experimentation and provide a rewarding sense of growth. The strategic map also adds variety by allowing players to choose different routes and objectives, giving the campaign a degree of flexibility that helps maintain interest over time. Visually, the game delivers a strong presentation. Space environments are detailed and atmospheric, while the sheer spectacle of thousands of drones moving in unison creates memorable moments throughout the campaign. The visual effects effectively communicate the scale of battles without making the action difficult to follow. Sound design complements the gameplay well, featuring energetic combat effects and a fitting science-fiction soundtrack that enhances the feeling of leading humanity's last hope through hostile territory. Despite its originality, the game is not without flaws. Because nearly every aspect of gameplay revolves around the drone swarm, some encounters can feel repetitive after extended sessions. Players expecting a traditional real-time strategy experience with extensive unit management and economic systems may find the scope somewhat limited. Additionally, the later stages of the campaign can become challenging, requiring precise execution and a solid understanding of the swarm mechanics. While this difficulty can be rewarding for dedicated players, it may frustrate those seeking a more relaxed strategy experience. Even with these shortcomings, Drone Swarm succeeds as a bold and inventive strategy game. Its central mechanic is genuinely unique, and the developers deserve recognition for building an entire experience around such an unconventional concept. The combination of tactical combat, narrative progression, meaningful upgrades, and stunning large-scale drone simulations creates an experience that stands out within the RTS genre. Players looking for something different from standard strategy formulas will find a memorable adventure that rewards careful thinking and mastery of its distinctive mechanics. Rating: 6/10

Очень средненькая аркада с рисованием линий. Встречаются мелкие баги не особо влияющие на геймплей. Сюжет явно писали сугубо для галочки (хотя один поворот в середине игры в нём всё-таки есть). Коротенькие однообразные уровни хоть и приедаются, но не успевают совсем надоесть до конца игры. Самое интересное, на мой взгляд – открытие обвесов на корабль, в остальном – игра ни о чем. В общем, с хорошей скидкой можно и ознакомится.
nouvelle mécanique avec des drone , un peu de nouveauté dans le gameplay change un peu aucun bug pour ma par
Joguei e achei péssimo. Não consertaram bugs que as pessoas reclamam há anos. Tive dificuldade para criar o perfil que salva o jogo. Depois as telas de tutorial tem título, mas não possuem imagem ou texto explicando como fazer as tais ações que o título requer. Guarde seu dinheiro, porque enquanto não houver correção disso, não vale a pena
不是我的类型,非常无聊的
