"Come Back Alive" has been the biggest foundation providing competent assistance to Ukrainian defenders since 2014. Their goal is to preserve the lives of Ukrainian defenders in the face of an invading force by purchasing the necessary equipment and delivering it to the frontlines so that they can save civil lives. The foundation supplies thermal imaging devices, generators, radios, GPS navigators, UAVs, cars, body armor, and protective, communication, and intelligence equipment. The foundation’s instructors train the military in controlling drones, mine safety, and tactical medicine.
“Army of Drones” is a joint comprehensive project of the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, the State Special Communications Service, the Ministry of Digital Transformation, and the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine, which organizes and conducts procurement of UAVs (Unmanned Aerial Vehicles), supply them to the military, train operators to fly drones and support Ukrainian startups and manufacturers in the field of UAVs to develop the military-tech sector in Ukraine

Play as a drone pilot trapped behind Russian lines, and fight your way out. A short but fun game sold for very cheap on sale. Easter Eggs scattered around the play area are good for some laughs. It took me about 3 hours to finish, and it is replayable including New Game +. Hoping for a DLC with more missions!
I can feed a pupper? Drive a pigeon? Make booms? Slava Ukraini!
You cannot customize any inputs at all in this game. Not keyboard nor controller. You must use exactly what they've set for you, period. A very basic feature for almost every other game. In addition this means you cannot use actual FPV controllers even if they are fully Windows compatible and work with all other games. Emailed the dev to ask when they will fix this, and was told that I'm unprofessional, rude and not politically supportive enough. Like, I tried but well... it's refunded now, including the sound track and supporter skins. Exactly as the dev specifically requested, rather than even try to address this issue in any way (other than blaming the customer). So, back to "FPV Battleground" I go (much better anyway).

Loved it. i could do another 50 missions if they had them but has scope to be developed into online battles e.g teams of 12 v 12 or 6 operators defending against AI army that just sends wave after wave of meat for the grinder etc for a future version
goood!!!
It's fine value at a couple of bucks. It's a nice idea, but needs some work in the execution. It feels a little "Baby's first murderbot sim" - and given there aren't many murderbot simulators out there, yen that makes a degree of sense. With no ability to crank the difficulty, it's a little bit underwhelming that enemies just stand out in the open until aware of your presence, at which point they don't take cover or anything, they just move a little quicker.
I really enjoyed the campaign in this game! My issue right off the bat was graphics settings, then I tweaked it. I think there needs to be an option to turn off the trailer graphics when in 3rd person on the drone. Its a different game with GREAT potential. I'd love to help develop it.
