In Death From Above, you are a lone Ukrainian military drone operator battling Russian occupation forces. Hidden behind enemy lines, you command a 'super drone' to seek and destroy tanks, take back communication towers, recover stolen goods, and fight for a better tomorrow. Slava Ukraini!
Death From Above is a short, about 90 minutes long, single-player arcade-style drone game set during the Russian invasion of Ukraine. You will play as a Ukrainian military drone operator who fights enemy forces, salvages valuable equipment, and restores crucial communication lines disrupted by the conflict.
But that's not all. What sets Death From Above apart is that it's not just a game but also a means to make an impact!
30% of the net proceeds will be equally split between two Ukrainian organizations supporting non-offensive aid to the Ukrainian Armed forces:
Come Back Alive and
Army of Drones. This way, you can feel confident that your purchase contributes to a worthy cause. Once we’ve broken even on the game, we will increase this contribution, sending 70% of our net revenues to these good causes. The remaining 30% will be invested in further developing the game.
Key Features:
- Interplay between operator and Drone
After you deplete your drone's ammo, you must return to your operator's position to rearm. Risk trekking deeper into enemy territory for a quick and easy top-up, or stay at a distance to assure your survival!
- Clear the Ukrainian steppe of Russian invaders!
Seek out, bomb, and destroy HQ camps, vehicles, and military depots; stay focused, and switch between top-down and third-person perspectives to maximize your impact!
- Take over control towers to restore communication lines!
Patrol the area, neutralize defenses, then bring in the operator for a successful mission!
- Recover stolen washing mac-*ahem*...Precious hardware!
The invaders are always on the lookout for any hardware they can grab. Keep on the lookout for any stragglers and recover this precious resource!
Death From Above is our first game under the Lesser Evil brand and our first statement. It’s a conscious decision to engage with a difficult issue that directly affects millions of people's lives in Ukraine and beyond, a decision that some might see as controversial.
While we embrace controversy and difficult conversations, we don’t believe in controversy for its own sake or the sake of sales. We engage in these topics because we are convinced they are important and that the power of video games can be a tool for political and social activism. Death From Above is no exception to that.
Additionally, we’re proud to help spread this message of support for Ukraine’s defense
