About the Game
"Death From Above" delivers a concise, single-player arcade drone experience set amidst the backdrop of the Russian invasion of Ukraine. Step into the role of a Ukrainian military drone operator, combatting enemy forces, reclaiming stolen equipment, and mending vital communication lines fractured by the war.
PLEASE NOTE: Before you take flight, keep in mind that "Death From Above" is an arcade game designed for fun and accessibility, not a professional flight simulator. Our goal is to provide an enjoyable experience rather than a 1:1 simulation of real-world drone physics. There is no support for specialized drone remote controllers (RC); the game is designed to be played with standard console gamepads, generic PC controllers, or mouse and keyboard.
It is more than just a game; it's a chance to make a real-world impact! 30% of our net proceeds directly support two Ukrainian organizations, "Come Back Alive" and "Army of Drones," championing non-offensive aid to the Ukrainian Armed Forces. This way, you can feel confident that your purchase contributes to a worthy cause. Once we’ve broken even on the game production, we will increase our contribution, sending 70% of our net revenues to these good causes. The remaining 30% will be invested in further developing the game.
