Drone Swarm (2020)

Drone Swarm from Stillalive Studios is a good RTS, in which fast action and above all your nimble reflexes play the main role. Definitely don't expect any strategic planning or much logical thinking. The title boasts an idea that's a little different from most other RTSs, and undoubtedly a great visual component. What disappoints, on the other hand, is the worse optimization and weaker story, which doesn't play such a big role in this type of game.

Appreciating the narrow focus on the game they sought to deliver was one of the better points of the experience. By stripping away a lot of excess systems it allowed a better core experience. The issues are bad optimization that leads to heavy lag and frequent crashes. Additionally the gameplay is too fast for the 'art' style of attacking to truly be effective resulting in a major loss of what was the initial draw of the game to begin with.

Drone Swarm offers enjoyable and unique gameplay, but it can be slightly frustrating due to the issues with the controls and surprisingly high hardware requirements.

A confident, creative approach to the RTS genre that falters in its structure and progression systems.

Drone Swarm is a simple strategy title with great combat set amongst some pretty backdrops, where battles provide plenty of excitement.
