55 of 203 sampled reviews raised it
Developed by Icosphere as their first mass-market game and published by MicroProse, which has an extensive catalog of military-themed games, Drone Sector is a competent and functional title with straightforward mechanics and a basic learning curve that takes about 30 minutes to climb.
Combat
Players who bring up Combat mostly praise it.
30 of 203 sampled reviews raised it
This allows for large-scale combat operations, potentially involving multiple allied and hostile formations.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
6 of 203 sampled reviews raised it
Visuals and graphics are clean and of high enough fidelity to look good on almost any monitor, with crisp, clean audio by FMOD that makes each weapon satisfying and the full scope of battles feel as chaotic as they are dynamic.
