Drop in. Loot up. Get out alive. Dronefall is a real-time brawler with the stakes of an extraction shooter. You command a squad, not a single hero. Every match drops you into a hostile open zone you share with rival squads, AI patrols and the horde. Sweep the map, take the fights you can win, and haul back everything you can carry. But the extraction window is closing. Push deeper for the rare drops, or pull out now and lock in what you already have. Miss the window and you lose the loot and the units carrying it. Make it out, and everything you brought back goes into your army. Unlock new unit classes, upgrade weapons and engines, and come back stronger for the next run. WHAT YOU DO • Command a full squad in real time, not one character • Fight players, AI forces and the horde on the same map • Loot fuel, gear and rare drops under constant pressure • Decide every run: extract now, or risk it all for more • Build and upgrade your army between runs NO SECOND CHANCES Everything you carry is on the line until you cross the extraction zone. Every run you survive makes the next one bigger.

Tired of games that play themselves? Welcome to MALATH... where survival requires brains, tactical planning, and fast reflexes! You are trapped in a dark, industrial underground bunker. The power is failing, and hordes of mutated zombies are coming for you. Weapons alone won't save you... you must build defenses, manage your resources, and watch your weapon's heat meter to stay alive! GAME FEATURES: • Deep Tactical Action: Build power generators, barricades, and auto-turrets to survive the swarm. • Realistic Weapon Overheat: There is no reload button! Manage your fire rate carefully. If your gun overheats, it will jam at the worst possible time! • Sinister AI: Enemies aren't dumb. The "Fast Dog" swiftly bypasses your barricades, and the "Welder Boss" shatters your defenses with a single hammer strike! • Dynamic Lighting & Darkness: Conserve your lantern oil. The pitch-black darkness hides your worst nightmares. • Hardcore Elite Mode: Think you're a pro? Enter a mode where enemies scale to your exact power, the rules change, and the dark takes over. Gather scrap, upgrade your weapons and gear, and uncover the bunker's secrets. Download MALATH now... and prove you have what it takes to survive!
