Year 2352, humanity is exploring the exoplanets for the expansion of its stellar empire. It comes as no surprise that we encounter alien adversaries - some easy to conquer, others far more advanced and harder to subjugate.
To assist in the conquest, a dedicated fleet of fighter drones called Compadrones - or 'compadre' drones were created to serve as the ultimate vanguard of our attack forces.
Compadrone: Land wars is a family friendly top down roguelite arena shooter with elements of tower defense game play in which you play as a drone sent to fight off aliens on an exoplanet.
The objective of the game is to survive against hordes of invading aliens. Use an Xbox controller or mouse to maneuver your drone across an alien landscape while shooting alien warbots, gaining experience and collecting resources and powerups.

The game allows you to choose between 9 different types of drones, and features multiple types of aliens. The weapons on your drone fire automatically when aliens come within their range. As you progress through the game, you gain XP that can be used to unlock more advanced drones.

Enemy attacks come in waves, with each wave lasting between 1 to 3 minutes. At the end of each wave you can use the resources you have collected to unlock better weapons for the next wave.

Additionally, you can use the resources to buy and upgrade defensive towers during a wave. Defensive towers can be placed at strategic locations in the map to power up your fight against the aliens.
