Dropzone is Available Now on Steam

It was announced by developer Sparkypants and publisher Gameforge, that Dropzone, their ambitious RTS/MOBA hybrid, has hit the Steam platform. Dropzone is available in an Early Access version as the development team continues to improve and enhance the game in accord with feedback and play data from users. Dropzone runs on most modern PCs and is playable in ten languages, among them all English, German and French.

Check out the Steam launch trailer of Dropzone, showcasing the games’ features:

“Alexander Rösner, CEO and founder of Gameforge, says: “We’ve been working hard together with our friends at Sparkypants and the day has finally come for Dropzone to go live on Steam Early Access. Dropzone is a really great game and I have no doubts that gamers everywhere are going to love it. I am really proud of what both Gameforge and Sparkypants have achieved together with this innovative real-time strategy experience and can’t wait to see where we go from here. The future looks very bright to me!”

Dropzone is the first, new game IP from game developer Sparkypants Studios, comprised of seasoned RTS veterans of Big Huge Games. Dropzone brings together classic attributes of Real-Time Strategy such as map control and multi units the player must direct, with 1v1 intense online competitive play and familiar keyboard and mouse controls. Players must develop their tactics, customize their Rigs to suit their play-style, and then bring them into battle against their opponent to see who can score the most points during a 15-minute match. Dropzone provides for a vast array of choices between Rigs and their loadout, and rich variety of maps set on alien-infested Europa over which players will contest.
