About this game
Battle Drones: Red Rock Resistance is a 3D top-down shooter set in a reimagined version of Red Rock, New Mexico. It's the post-drone war era, a supposed time of peace. Find yourself in the desert equipped with nothing more than a military drone, a handgun and a knife to fend off the incoming waves of hostile drones sent from the evil megacorporation A-EYE. Luckily, famous drone parts salesman Solomon Burgundy has a shop nearby! You’ll be sure to pay him a visit if you need new guns, ammo and even drone insurance!

Jump straight into action against the relentless A-EYE! Piloting a drone requires strategy and skill, there’s little time to relax between the endless waves. Are you up for the challenge?

Uncover a wide array of unique weapons and throwables; sharpened katanas, powerful shotguns, devastating dynamite and much more! Don’t forget to grab your drone upgrades too, Solomon’s Insurance is gonna come in handy when you get yourself into trouble…

Don’t be fooled. They may seem like bots, but those pesky A-EYE keep developing their own new combat techniques. You’ll have to keep on your toes as they come at you with various weapons and mechanics.

Red Rock is full of secrets. Break down walls to access unique new areas, each with their own stories hidden amongst the landscape. Venture across the different regions; Kentaro Islands, Celerity Speedway, FMF Outpost and more for you to discover yourself...

Survive for as long as possible to achieve the highest score. Compete with friends and see where you stand on the global leaderboards. Only the most skilled pilot can take the top spot!

The speedway found in Red Rock has been vacated due to the newfound A-EYE corporation’s occupation of the area. The pit crew may have left, but you can still find some useful racing equipment, namely the patented Celerity Speed Cream. https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/800/0*gMBYZlckNCUjrZZ3 Celerity Speed Cream is a high-tech lubricant for your drone rotors, increasing your movement speed by 10%!

Battle Drones: Elord O’dor and the A-EYE corporation
{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/43160828/ca18c691b705cef5ad5c82a5d90567f5d3e38444.png Battle Drones: Red Rock Resistance is an upcoming top down drone shooter for PC. Upon starting a new game, you’ll find yourself in the desert equipped with nothing more than a military drone, a handgun and a knife to fend off the incoming waves of hostile drones sent from the evil megacorporation A-EYE. https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/800/0*tdMTKP1mywPQuCw4 A-EYE specialises in the integration of artificial intelligence with all aspects of daily life. From fridges and coffee machines to toasters and toilets, they have effectively integrated AI into all of their products. They have also weaponized drones sold under the guise of personal protection, however, they are really purposed for reconnaissance, surveillance and active infiltration of A-EYE interests. https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/800/0*JMzsYoXHEI6hWbzo Elord Odor is the founder and CEO of A-EYE. He made a large fortune through the manufacture and supply of household items under the A-EYE brand, as well as the sale of private information collected via the spyware built into all A-EYE products. Through clever marketing and PR, Odor is seen as a philanthropic visionary to the general public, one who revolutionised drone technology after the Drone Wars. https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/800/0*skn0aagLT8B22k3w Elord has ties to another character you’ll meet early on in Red Rock Resistance; famous drone salesman Solomon Burgundy. The two of them have not been on friendly terms, in fact, for some reason Elord seems to have a vendetta against Solomon.

Dirty Depot - Location Overview
Dirty Depot — Battle Drones: Red Rock Resistance Location Overview {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/43160828/dab4c735b759b920ed3ff8ac7cbcc607da577214.png Rumour has it that the famous drone salesman, Solomon burgundy, has a depot between the Firing Range and the Celerity Speedway. The old man doesn’t seem to have much of a knack for organisation, the whole place feels like a maze of containers! https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/800/0*WRj5hVxUP3lw5nSv The Dirty Depot contains multiple branching paths and several dead ends, making it hard to navigate. In many cases, you will find yourself trapped by enemies closing in, where you’ll be forced to rely on your combat abilities! The labyrinth may appear simple at first, however, you will quickly learn that there is more than meets the eye… https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/800/0*Jh57-FqkYG5ojXJY At the centre of the depot you’ll find Solomon’s Office. In this shop you can purchase health and ammo refills, as well as the iconic double barrel shotgun! You’ll only be able to find the shotgun at this specific location so be sure to pay a visit if you need to knock back your enemies with two barrels of buckshot! https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/800/0*5Lg-vVub3BVTZWlg The dirty depot is constantly changing. There are several cranes and a telehandler that will relocate containers, sometimes blocking off routes through the maze. If you encounter a blocked route you must either wait for the crane to pick up the container and clear the route, or turn back and take a different route. This can create some very intense combat encounters! https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/800/0*ymMnHqrAT0HhesNi You never know what Solomon might be hiding amongst the odds and ends of the Dirty Depot. Explore the area on release and you may just find some clues… Join our Discord channel and share your thoughts!

Battle Drones: Mr. President and the UTA
https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/800/1*TGwqkbn0mHykBJ1QqA0Mhg.jpeg Battle Drones: Red Rock Resistance is an upcoming top down drone shooter for PC. The game takes place in a reimagined version of Red Rock New Mexico, which is a part of the United Territories America or UTA. https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/800/0*p9pjCZY9p2AM7xoG The UTA is one of the largest superpowers within the world of Battle Drones, and without a doubt, the single largest military presence across the globe. During the drone wars, they were responsible for wiping out an entire country with the accidental detonation of several thermonuclear warheads. Many of the UTA military drones used in the drone wars are still used, you’ll find yourself in control of one when you start a new game in Red Rock Resistance. https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/800/0*HQyqxxPxQff36r9I{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/43160828/8868499ac71c8f00694f15ae483898972c311092.png The UTA is led by none other than Mr. President, a former professional wrestler who went by the same stage name. His true identity is unknown, as there are no records of him before he burst onto the wrestling scene, bombastically emerging from beneath the ring during a championship match. https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/800/0*hg53dSPB4TWwIDi3 Despite Mr. President having many fans from his wrestling career, there are several outspoken individuals within the UTA claiming that he is an alien or some sort of monster in disguise. No such claims have been corroborated by any seemingly credible sources. Play the Battle Drones: Red Rock Resistance DEMO, which is OUT NOW on Steam! If you look closely you may discover more about the UTA and Mr. President, as well as some other colourful characters you might meet in Red Rock!
