Dropzone

Dropzone is an all-new strategy gaming experience developed by Sparkypants Studios, which includes some of the creators behind the critically acclaimed, award-winning hits such as Rise of Nations, Rise of Legends, and Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning.
It Is the 22nd Century.
All of humanity depends on a rare and powerful energy source called Cores mined from Jupiter’s moon Europa—but Europa has fallen. A hostile alien presence called the Kavash has conquered Europa’s vast energy resources and pushed humanity to the brink. It’s time to fight back.
Step into the role of a skilled and daring Core Hunter, part renegade captain and part privateer, and compete against mercenaries and elite military companies for riches at the edge of the Dropzone. As war consumes the galaxy, collect Cores, build your fortune, and secure a destiny among the stars.

RTS or MOBA? It’s Both!

Created by a team of veteran strategy game developers, Dropzone combines core RTS elements of strategy, map awareness and attention management with key MOBA mechanics like tactical positioning, unique abilities and in-game leveling. The result is intense white-knuckle gameplay with endless depth.

Explosive 15 Minute Matches

You will command a squad of three highly-specialized battle Rigs in intense 15-minute matches. Collect Cores and complete map objectives to score points, and whoever has the highest score when time runs out wins the match. Every moment counts and every strategic decision matters as you struggle against the Kavash and other Core Hunters that are intent on stealing your glory.

Unique Pilot Abilities

Recruit daredevil Pilots from across the solar system, each with his or her own default Gear and set of unique abilities. At level 5, Pilots unlock their powerful Special Move that can change the course of battle in the blink of an eye. Ravage the battlefield with Pandora’s pulsating Litany of Plagues. Heal your whole squad with Widget’s Rapid Repairs. Or throw the winning punch with Knockout’s stunning Haymaker.

Deep Rig customization

Outfit your Rigs with hundreds of powerful and diverse Gear that grants active and passive abilities to match your play-style. Do you slow your opponents with the massive Pulverizers, or shock them with the electrified Twinned Coils? As you level up, you will acquire blueprints for new gear and use the game’s crafting system to upgrade your whole squad and dominate your enemies.

Devastating Squad Combos

Build your squad from four classes of Rig: the hulking Tank, powerful Gunner, resourceful Mechanic, and unpredictable Summoner. Learn to use your squad effectively to execute creative combos that will send your enemy reeling. Stun a Rig with the Turbine’s Positron Condenser and then rain down damage on it with Recon’s Rocket Cluster. The strong may survive, but only the clever will triumph.

PvP and PvE Battles

Accept Transmissions from characters across the Dropzone universe to embark on single-player scenarios and experience combat beyond multiplayer matches. Fight
your way to the top of the upcoming Core Rush leaderboard, or find out how long your squad can survive against the endless Kavash hordes.

1v1, 2v2, CO-OP & COMPETITIVE MODES

Face off against your rivals in a 1v1 quick match or challenge yourself in ranked competitive play. Or pair up with a few friends and battle on the icy plains of Europa in the fun and furious Dropzone 2v2 mode. Clash for Cores on a custom map with teams of six Rigs, creating your own signature co-op strategies and wombo-combos.

Robust tournament Mode

Grab a group of friends and create a single-elimination tournament with up to 16-players. Or participate in one of the tournaments hosted by Sparkypants that feature prizes of in-game items and currency.

Dynamic Replay Controls

Watch live Dropzone matches, or show off past favorite victories to your friends. Using the game’s best-in-class viewing mode, relive your greatest Core hunting moments and study the moves of the top players to improve your skills. Built with casting in mind, Dropzone’s spectator client directs the action so you can call the action!
