Fortunately, this issue can easily be solved by turning off the background music (and sound effects, if you so please). Despite these flaws, the game is solid enough to be a decent fanservice-filled distraction while you’re waiting for the bus, and there are tons of references to the show to look for. As long as you play in short bursts, the microtransactions won’t bother you. Game of Drones definitely isn’t the most creative way to profit from a license, but, if you’re a fan of the show and miss it, this should be good enough.
Futurama: Game of Drones

About
This is Professor Farnsworth. I'm sending you off on a whirlwind of deadly, quite deadly, and very deadly missions! I’ve created an array of delivery drones to make your almost certain death more fun than my trip to Ecstasia 9, the fun planet!
Oh, and remember, the drones require almost constant attention, so you’ll need to make sure they’re arranged in groups of four or more. I also added some rather explodey doohickies, so look out for super drones like the triple-dipple laser drone, oh my. I expect you to behave in a manner becoming of a Planet Express employee, so that means no destroying all humans, Bender! And you’ll need to use each of your special abilities to get those packages delivered before we inevitably go bankrupt and you’re all living on the streets! Come along, off you go. It’s time for my nap, oh yes.

Critic reviews
- 7.0Embracing the subject matter, as well as maintaining a fast paced take on matching different colors, means you’ll find yourself frequently itching for just one more go. Even if a little part of you might realise you’re going over to the dark side.
- 9.0I highly recommend checking out Futurama: Game of Drones if you’re a fan of matching puzzles and love Futurama and need your fix.
- 8.0If you were looking for a new match something puzzler, Futurama: Game of Drones will fill that gap nicely. You'll also love it if you're a fan of the show.
- Malgré son gameplay classique et ses niveaux très répétitifs, Futurama : Game of Drones reste plaisant à jouer. Sa narration, son humour et ses personnages font de ce titre un bon passe temps qui ne manquera de faire esquisser quelques sourires au fur et à mesure de la progression. Le jeu étant très long, la plupart des joueurs n'auront sans doute pas la patience d'aller jusqu'au bout mais le plaisir de jeu est là tout comme le challenge grandissant.
- Verrebbe da pensare che un'occasione come la licenza ufficiale di Futurama potesse essere sfruttata in maniera migliore, creando un gioco più radicato nell'immaginario della serie e più affine al suo spirito. Bisogna però riconoscere che Futurama: Game of Drones è prima di tutto un ottimo puzzle game, ben strutturato e profondo, e poi un buon titolo su licenza.
