Death From Above

Death From Above is a single-player arcade game about operating military drones during the Russian invasion of Ukraine. You play as a Ukrainian drone operator, fighting enemy forces, reclaiming stolen equipment and repairing communication lines damaged by the war. You can switch between controlling the operator, a quadcopter drone and an FPV (first-person view) drone.

Missions and exploration

Missions include demining, clearing zones of adversaries and intercepting enemy convoys. The game also has a filled-map sandbox with hidden Easter eggs referencing real-life events from Ukraine’s physical and virtual battlefields.

Support for Ukraine

Thirty percent of the game’s net proceeds go to the Ukrainian organizations Come Back Alive and Army of Drones, which provide non-offensive aid to the Ukrainian Armed Forces. After production costs have been recouped, the contribution rises to 70% of net revenues, with the remaining 30% invested in further game development. Come Back Alive supplies equipment and training to Ukrainian defenders, while Army of Drones procures UAVs, supplies them to the military, trains operators and supports Ukrainian UAV startups and manufacturers.
