Is Nimbatus - The Space Drone Constructor worth it for you?
We tell you who should skip it, too.
Play it if you…
Good fit- Players who enjoy designing drones and want to experiment with physics-simulated parts.
- Sandbox builders who want adjustable parameters and unlimited resources for custom challenges.
- Competitive players who want to pit their drone designs against other players in varied arena modes.
Skip it if you…
Saves you a refund- Players seeking a tightly linear campaign may find the focus on open-ended construction and exploration less suited to them.
- Those who prefer a fixed set of weapons and vehicles may not enjoy building drones and weapons from modular parts.
- Players looking for a co-operative campaign may not find that mode among the described options.
Our take on Nimbatus - The Space Drone Constructor
Rather than centering on a fixed character or vehicle, the game makes player-built drones the main tool for exploration and combat. Its structure also shifts between a survival campaign, a customizable sandbox, and arena contests, rather than following one continuous mode.
What is Nimbatus - The Space Drone Constructor?
Nimbatus combines drone construction with exploration and combat in a physics-based universe.
The workshop offers more than 75 simulated parts for building drones, including sensors and logic components for automated designs. In the survival campaign, players choose one of six captains, travel through the universe, collect resources, and expand their arsenal while facing threats. Procedurally generated planets have distinct properties, climate zones, and enemies, and can be mined and destroyed. Sandbox mode provides unlimited resources and adjustable parameters for custom challenges. Competitive arenas include Sumo, Racing, Brawl, and Catch, where drones built by other players provide opponents. A weapon workshop supports custom weapon creation through a research tree, and the mothership can be upgraded.
