Rogue Drone

Rogue Drone is a top-down sci-fi strategy game that combines mining, city-building, tower defense and resource management. You build and expand an outpost, harvest crystals, refine them into higher tiers, unlock technology and prepare for increasingly deadly nightly drone attacks. Your decisions shape your chances of lasting against the growing threat.

Build and power your outpost

You use mined resources to unlock buildings, turrets and upgrades, then arrange defenses and set their priorities to find a setup that works. A unified energy system powers buildings, defenses, shields and production.

The refinery unlocks the conversion of crystals into higher tiers, up to T5. During the day, you can mine T1 crystals in a lower-pressure activity that uses skill-based color matching.

Defend against the waves

You build by day and survive escalating enemy waves by night. There are five enemy tiers, each introducing a new problem to solve, and six turret types spanning long- and short-range attacks, with different damage against shields or hull and multiple upgrades.

Tier 5 Core killers can take control of lower-tier enemies and make them follow their lead. Choices on Day 5 can be crucial to surviving Day 20, so you need to adapt your defenses as the attacks grow in difficulty and variety.
