Drone n Gone

Drone N Gone is an action roguelite about defending a bunker from wave after wave of increasingly battered assault troops using FPV drones.

Choose your target, line up the trajectory and launch. The drone follows the path you set, so a good strike comes down to positioning, timing and learning how to put the thing exactly where you want it.

Then keep doing it until the attackers finally lose interest in taking your bunker.

Survive 19 waves, including three heavy mechanized assaults. The further you get, the stranger and more dangerous the attacking units become.

Expand Your Arsenal

Modern warfare isn't just about drones. There are plenty of traditional - and less traditional - ways to deal with an incoming assault.

Choose upgrades that improve your drone, unlock new weapons, reinforce your defences and give you new ways to deal with enemy units.

Each upgrade can be paired with an Archetype, changing how it deals damage, how it develops and what combinations become possible from one run to the next.

You won't have access to everything immediately. Expand your arsenal with earned E-Points and Doctrine Points, and decide what you want to bring into future runs.

Hold the Treeline

As the drone operator, your job is to keep the bunker standing against waves of attackers that can start to feel endless.

Watch the battlefield, decide which target needs to disappear first and launch your attacks where they're needed most. Ignore the wrong enemy for too long and eventually they'll reach your position and start tearing through its defences.

Develop Your Military Doctrine

Between runs, earn Doctrine Points and spend them to expand your available arsenal.

Unlock new equipment, then unlock additional Archetypes for it. Before the next operation, use Doctrine Cards to prepare your starting setup and gradually shape the tools you'll have available on future deployments.

The further you progress, the more dangerous your doctrine becomes - and the more ways you have to make the other side regret showing up.

Choose Your Operational Risk

The better you get, the worse the mess you're expected to walk into. At least you get some say in how bad it gets.

Before each run, choose your Operational Risk level. Higher risk means a harder operation and more pressure on your current build and progression.

Progress requires you to keep increasing Operational Risk, so think carefully about where you spend the resources earned on previous deployments.

Still Fit for Another Assault

The enemy does not appear especially concerned with whether its soldiers ever make it back.

Wounded, maimed or barely fit to fight - if someone can still move toward your position, apparently they're good for one more assault. A Lada isn't going to buy itself.

As the waves continue, that disregard for human life becomes increasingly grotesque: disposable troops, desperate improvisation, increasingly questionable battlefield decisions and units that probably should never have been anywhere near the front line.

That's where much of Drone N Gone's satire comes from.
