Overview
Description

Codename: Droid is a classic 2D side‑scrolling action game where you play Commander John Stryker, tasked with retrieving enemy plans and escaping to Allied headquarters. Set against a futuristic war backdrop, the game blends platforming, shooting, and vehicle commandeering in a single scrolling level. Armed with a laser pistol, grenades, and the ability to pilot aircraft until fuel runs out, you face a wide array of Volgan enemies equipped with rifles, machine guns, mortars, and even SAM missiles. Allied soldiers provide occasional backup, adding dynamic crossfire to the intense combat.

Droid Assault delivers fast‑paced, arcade‑style combat where you command a squad of droids against relentless waves of killer robots. Inspired by 8‑bit classics, the game blends pixel art visuals with modern tactical depth. Play solo or team up in multiplayer to strategically deploy your droid squad, upgrade weapons, and survive the onslaught in a nostalgic sci‑fi actionfest.
