About the game

What you do in a play session

Tactical Drone Warfare is a solo game that puts you in control of drones in modern warfare scenarios, inspired by the Russia-Ukraine conflict (2022-2024). Here, you don’t just pilot drones—you also manage intelligence, batteries, electronic warfare, and even attack angles. The game offers three modes: Basic (a quick mission), Operations (linked missions with cumulative consequences), and Campaign (where your crew evolves skills and specializations). Every decision is a dilemma: risk more with limited flight time or play it safe? If you love detailed strategy and realistic simulations, this wargame will hook you for hours.
