In Trigger Skew you take the role of a meager technician finally given the chance to escape the facility, armed only with a combat drone with the finest targeting software you could design. However to get a hold of such a drone you had to loot it from the maintenance shop and a few dings never did anyone's eyes good. Watch as you use the drones bouncing lasers and your own maneuvering to compete with the out of control bullets and rockets. With no capacity to aim all you can do is pull the trigger.
