Read full description

Survive, fight, loot, upgrade — and escape before time runs out. This is a fast-paced survival, extraction-style multiplayer game where you control a customizable combat drone and battle for valuable resources in a neon sci-fi arena. Enter a dynamic warzone, gather rare materials, outplay enemy operators, and reach the evacuation point before the timer expires. Every mission is a high-risk combat run: one successful strike brings profit, one mistake costs everything. Your drone is your identity. Build it the way you want, improve it after each raid, and become one of the top fighters in this online pvp game. Key Features: • Buy and upgrade your drone. Choose your drone-character and grow its power using materials you collect. Improve damage, speed, modules, and survivability with each run. • Enter the map and fight in real encounters. Drop into fast shooter battles, use smart tactics, dodge crossfire, launch precise strikes, and survive enemy squads. Move like a scout, hit like a fighter, or rush in as an aggressive brawler game style operative. • Collect materials, loot, and rare items. Explore debris fields, neon corridors, and hidden vaults. Salvage modules, gather weapon parts, and secure valuable loot. Every piece matters: sell it or use it for upgrades. • Evacuate before time runs out. Reach the extraction zone and escape with your cargo. Fail — and everything is lost. • Trade your haul and improve your build. Earn credits by selling materials and rare finds. Use them to craft, forge, and boost your drone with better weapon systems, boosters, and modules. Gameplay Highlights • Fast raids with roguelike tension. • Real-time online encounters. • Dynamic pvp fights and tactical clashes. • High-risk combat where every delta-shift matters. • Multiple build paths with prime upgrades and boosters. • Striking neon sci-fi setting. The galaxy is full of hunters, squads, and guardians. Choose your drone, enter the zone, strike hard, gather value — and make it out alive.
