Three kinds of drone attack game
| Kind | You are… | Feels like |
|---|---|---|
| FPV / flight sim | The drone | Piloting a racing or strike drone |
| 3D war shooter | Watching a battlefield on screen | A classic mobile shooter |
| AR shooter | The target | Drones flying into your room at you |
Drone war game styles
A drone war game usually means the 3D kind: missions over maps, targets and airstrikes. They are often free with ads and upgrades. If you want the flying itself, an FPV simulator is the better choice. If you want the attack to feel close, AR is the one.
Why AR changes a drone attack
In a 3D game, the drones are on a screen. In AR, they are above your sofa and behind you in the hallway. You cannot fight them by tapping; you have to turn, look up, and track them through your space. It is a small change in technology and a big change in how it feels.
Down The Drone
Down The Drone is our first-person AR shooter for iPhone: hostile drone swarms are anchored into your real room, and you turn, aim and fire to hold them off. It is free with no ads and no in-app purchases, plays fully offline, and runs on iPhone 6s or later with iOS 13+. Rated 12+.
Enemy quadcopters and strike-spheres are tracked into your actual environment, so the level is wherever you stand. Your hallway becomes cover; your garden becomes an open field with nowhere to hide.
Playing safely
You will be turning and stepping while looking at a screen. Clear the space, avoid stairs, and keep away from glass and pets.
