An insectoid mashup of Square Enix's Final Fantasy Tactics and From Software's Armored Core, Drone Tactics features both traditional turn-based strategy gameplay in addition to a deep character customization aspect, which allows players to swap and modify weapons, power-ups, and squad composition.

The game features a lengthy single-player campaign, as well as local wireless multiplayer. Drone Tactics' April 8 release puts it some two weeks later than Atlus' original announcement of late March.
