INDIE / ANNIVERSARY / PC / MOBILE
It turns out ten years is plenty of time to sharpen a robot sword. Clone Drone in the Danger Zone is celebrating its anniversary with a substantial update and, for the first time, a version you can play on your phone.
Developer Doborog Games released the 10th Anniversary Update on 12 November 2026 for the established game on PC and consoles. It arrives alongside a separate mobile release on iOS and Android, with its controls reworked for smaller screens.
Three new ways to be cut into scrap
The anniversary patch adds three new Challenges. The Saw Dog Challenge introduces an especially stubborn robotic opponent; the Anniversary Challenge revisits memorable moments from the game’s history; and the co-operative Summon Walker Challenge introduces a huge enemy that can bring further attackers into the arena.
There are also new levels for Endless mode and a collection of quality-of-life changes. If you’re already good at slicing robots into conveniently sized pieces, you now have fresh excuses to demonstrate it.
Robot duels, now on a tiny screen
The mobile edition is a premium release and includes the main story, Endless mode, twelve challenges and multiplayer. Doborog says the touch interface has been redesigned, with cross-play between iOS and Android included.
Those last details are particularly important. Translating a timing-heavy combat game to a touchscreen isn’t as simple as putting a virtual sword button on the screen and hoping for the best. We would want to test how dodging, aiming and reacting actually feel before recommending the mobile controls.
Still plenty of steel left
There’s something rather enjoyable about seeing a distinctive indie project supported this long. A ten-year celebration paired with fresh challenges and a mobile version is more interesting than a commemorative logo and an excuse to buy a cake.
We haven’t tested the phone release, so consider this an update report rather than a mobile review. It is available for those who fancy a robot fight between bus stops.
