You know the problem with COD 4: Modern Warfare, and all its many imitative ilk? Too few axes.
That’s not ‘axes’ as in the Medieval weapon, but as in axes of movement. Generally, modern multiplayer shooters only have two, the Y and the X, whereas Drone Strike Force adds a third: the Z. This is all a convoluted way of saying Drone Strike Force is a multiplayer shooter in which you can move freely in three dimensions, including up and down in the air.
This brings a host of technical difficulties but also makes Drone Strike Force stand out among a crowded genre, as we discovered in our profile of the game for our Making it in Unreal series. Genre linchpins such as loadout customisation and objective-based team deathmatch modes remain, while level designs such as skyscraper-packed cities add crucial and novel challenges given that ground-level obstacles don’t present much of an issue, what with all those axes. For more information, check out the Steam page here.
