Clone Drone in the Danger Zone launches on Android

November 14, 2026

Losing a leg usually means the fight is over. In Clone Drone in the Danger Zone, it means you’ll have to finish the job hopping. Doborog Games’ robot arena fighter launched on Android and iOS on November 12, giving mobile players their first official version of the voxel slice-em-up. Its arrival also matches the tenth anniversary update for the PC and console game.

This is a premium release, and it is also included in Google Play Pass. The mobile edition includes the full single-player story, Endless mode, 12 challenges and online multiplayer, with controls and mechanics reworked for phones.

Some assembly no longer required

The setup is suitably unpleasant. Your human mind has been downloaded into a robot gladiator, and your new hosts expect you to survive their arena. Somewhere between the laser swords and dismemberment, there’s also a story about joining the human resistance against a robot empire.

What makes the combat interesting is how precisely those robot bodies come apart. A successful attack can cut through an opponent’s limbs or torso, while a badly timed approach can leave you missing something equally important. Positioning and the angle of a swing is important as well, and a damaged robot can sometimes keep fighting.

Swinging the sword is not your only option. The arsenal includes giant hammers, bows, jetpacks, powerful kicks and fire based attacks. Meanwhile, Commentatron and Analysis-Bot provide running commentary on your performance, Being dismantled in public also requires a review panel.

Story, survival and mobile multiplayer

The campaign provides the narrative route through the robot uprising, and the Endless mode offers an arena-focused alternative. Challenges place restrictions on your approach, giving individual weapons and tactics more room to glow.

Multiplayer includes online co-op, private duels and Last Bot Standing. Android and iOS players can play together. That is the crossplay confirmed for this release, so yeah mobile edition players can’t join friends on PC or consoles.

Ten years of chopping robots

Doborog is an independent studio founded by Erik Rydeman, whose earlier work included Playfish, PopCap and EA Mobile. The developer has since grown into a small core team of five. Clone Drone began as an itch.io prototype in 2016, entered Steam Early Access in 2017 and has now passed two million copies sold.

The PC and console game get an update too. The Anniversary Challenge revisits the game’s history, the Saw Dog Challenge introduces its long awaited mechanical menace, and the co-op Summon Walker Challenge features ten new levels. Additional Endless levels and QoL changes round out the update.

For Android readers, the main attraction is the mobile release itself, a substantial indie action game with a complete campaign, repeatable arena modes and multiplayer.

Clone Drone in the Danger Zone is available on both Android and iOS, priced at $9.99 in the US, with regional pricing varying. Android players can also access it through Google Play Pass, and apparently there should be a demo available, but I couldn’t confirm this.
