There are quite a few words in this game I've never even heard of in English.. not so sure if this is a good way to start learning Turkish..

You are quite correct. As a very fluent native speaker, I have the same criticism.
Don't get me wrong, I like the game too but some of the words are not true words in English. "Dronish", for instance, is not really a valid word. The Turkish word given as its match "miskin" means "lazy", a perfectly common and correct English word.
I could understand "dronish" in context, as the adding of -ish to drone (a male bee, famous for not being productive)and hence as a synonym for "lazy" but it would be regarded as a neologism (artificial word) by any fluent English speaker. "Dronelike" would be a more likely formation, if a writer wanted to emphasize a similarity to a drone. It would still be a neologism, though, and not a true word.
"Engorging" falls into the same category.
