Drone Combat Simulator
Pilot a combat drone through four deadly biomes and a final boss showdown.
Drone Combat Simulator is an arcade-style flight-combat game where you steer a heavily armed drone through city, desert, arctic, and final missions. Dodge enemy fire, blast walkers and flyers, grab power cores, and take down the boss to clear the campaign.
Three ways to play
- Canvas 2D — Stylized vector drones with gradients, glow, shadows, and parallax backgrounds. Clean arcade look, runs anywhere.
- Three.js 3D — Procedural 3D drone models with a perspective camera, dynamic lighting, and real-time shadows.
- Hybrid — 3D models pre-rendered to sprite sheets and displayed in 2D. Real 3D look with 2D performance.
Pick the style that runs best on your machine, or use the built-in Compare mode to see all three side-by-side.
Features
- 4 playable drones — Blue Falcon, Green Hornet, Red Vixen, and Silver Drone, each with its own color scheme and glow. Swap mid-game with a single key.
- 4 biomes, 4 weapons — Each mission changes your loadout:
- City → Pulse Laser
- Desert → Plasma Cannon (burn damage over time)
- Arctic → Frost Beam (slows enemies)
- Final → Rail Gun (pierces through targets)
- Enemy variety — Ground walkers, airborne flyers, and a 250-HP boss with adds.
- 4-directional flight with momentum — Move freely in any direction, manage altitude, tilt into turns, and land on platforms.
- Power cores & health pickups — Collect cores for score, grab health to survive the harder waves.
- Keyboard + Xbox controller support — Play however you like.
- Toggleable background music — Original BGM with a one-click mute.
