Drone Tactics, a game of turn-based strategy RPG warfare, for the Nintendo DS. Command a brigade of colossal mecha insecta and coordinate your forces as you take on the ruthless army of the Black Swarm! With a deeply customizable army of mechanized insects at their command, players will be able to fend off the Black Swarm by upgrading their squadrons with a broad array of weapons and power-ups, and send them into battle with explosive techniques and ability cards at their disposal. Combatants can even customize the look of their drones with different paint jobs and emblems--or design their own with the stylus.

Transported to an alien world, you find yourself in the middle of a great conflict. An army of evil Drones is on the march, threatening to obliterate the land of Cimexus. Its inhabitants now turn to you to lead them in battle against the Black Swarm. Each level offers new challenges, and taking full advantage of each Drone’s unique specialties will be the difference between success and defeat!
