Drone Wars

Drone Wars 1
Drone Wars 1, or DWI is a fast-paced action shooter game released by Egghead Studios in 2018 on Steam and the PS4, and later the PS5 where you control drones around in several giant maps. Inside the drones is the character you create, however that character serves no purpose to the game, or story since there isn't really one. There are 3 modes, Wars, CO-OP and Online. Wars mode was (you) against 8 bots in a map that you choose, or the game chooses at random. Wars are customisable and you can change how many minutes the game lasts, how many bots, the types of Drones allowed, the difficulty of the CPU and the speed of the drones. The game was praised for its intense action, but criticised for its lack of story. The game was given a custom box art to make it stand out on store shelves.

Character Types
After creating your character, you are given choices as to which type of character they are(which class) Frontline Shooter, Defense Shooter, Melee Shooter and Balance Shooter. Balance Shooter is the one class that has every weapon, but they are incredibly slower than the others. Defense Shooter has a built in shield, but their blasters are very weak.

There are different skins for each type, these are just the basics.

Online
Online mode was very competitive, due to the fact that a small streamer on twitch streamed it online, causing the game to get boosted in popularity. Online mode was sort of like playing online in Call Of Duty. The chat and the proximity voice chat(both optional) were full of people from 11-17 years old, playing against each other, and being mildly toxic.

Bedroom
A bedroom of a kid. The bed is red, there is a drawer next to it, and on the walls, several paintings with secret compartments, papers on the floor, a desk with a gaming pc that you can enter through a hole, and a restock section on the shelf in his closet.

Kitchen
The island in the middle, with the counter surrounding it. The microwave is mounted high, and is on at the start of the match. Bumping into it while it is on causes an explosion, taking 1 of the 3 hearts you have. On the counter(in the counter sorta) is the sink, which is still running. Going through water acts like weapon is it covers opponents screens, making their screen blurry for 6 seconds.

Family Room
A family room with a tv mounted on the wall, and a couch surrounding it. The map is very big and free, making it one of the most popular for online. Going behind the tv is a secret passageway, which ends on the cupholder for the couch. The passageway goes both ways. You can also hide in certain cupholders.

Basement
The basement is unfinished, and has a lot of unfinished walls, and rooms which you can go through. It is the most hated map because there are several objects in your way, and it impairs your drone's vision.

Backyard
The backyard is the biggest map, and contains a playground with a bunch of passageways, an underground tunnel, and water from the sprinklers. This is also a very popular map.

Unfortunately, these are all the maps. The game was not expected to be good, so it only got 4 maps.

Ratings
The game was well received, and was deemed a great game by the public, which boosted the income of Egghead, which Sony was looking to sell to Microsoft anyway.
