Remote Reaper Developer Declines Requests for Urban Infrastructure Attack Missions

Key Facts

  • Vladyslav Fomenko is a solo developer based in Ukraine and the developer of Remote Reaper: FPV Combat Drone Simulator.
  • Remote Reaper: FPV Combat Drone Simulator released for PC on October 14 at 2,600 yen.
  • The game does not support Japanese as of writing.
  • Fomenko says the project has no investor funding, no government grants, and no military contracts of any kind.
  • Fomenko says the project declined requests such as attack missions on urban infrastructure facilities.

In an interview he says the game models explosive-carrying FPV drones with heavy inertia and electronic warfare jamming, built from his own flight time and advice from military drone pilots. Fomenko says the project takes no investor funding, government grants, or military contracts, and that it declined requests such as attack missions on urban infrastructure facilities.

The game does not support Japanese as of writing. Fomenko separates it from racing and freestyle drone simulators by the mission: slip past enemy interference, find the target, hit it, with the drone's weight and signal jamming working against the pilot.

The idea came from two places, he says. One was wanting a game he could get absorbed in. The other was active pilots asking for a simulator that reproduces flight with a heavy payload. He avoided referencing other games, he says, and worked from how FPV drones are used on the battlefield in Ukraine. He makes all key decisions himself and brings in freelancers for specific areas of expertise.
