Dropzone Closed Beta & Alienware Pack Key Giveaway

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 the planet and pushed humanity to the brink.  Players step into the role of Core Hunters: part renegade captains and part privateers, competing for riches at the edge of the Dropzone. It is a lethal, glorious, and slightly mad way to earn a living.

Included with your closed beta access, you will receive:

  • 30,000 Jovians (in-game currency worth ~$30)
  • Custom Alienware in-game vision tower
  • 30 Gear Crates to upgrade your Rigs

Dropzone is now on Steam!
That that received a closed beta key will have their Gameforge account moved over to Steam and receive the SQUAD Bundle (~$19.99).

About Dropzone:
Dropzone combines the thrill of head-to-head battles, multi-unit control and strategic map awareness found in core RTS-styled games with in-game Pilot leveling, diversified abilities, robust squad customization, and tactical action found in popular MOBA-styled games.  Players command and control a squad of three specialized and battle-forged mechs, known as “Rigs”, as they face off in explosive 15-minute battles to harvest Cores, a powerful energy source, from the deadly alien Kavash. Your primary goal is to upload Cores to the map’s central Uplink to score points. The player with the most points at the end of the 15 minute match wins. In case of a tie, the game goes into sudden death overtime and the first player to score wins.

  • Dropzone is an-all new PC gaming experience in development by Sparkypants Studios, including some of the creators behind the critically acclaimed, award-winning RTS hit Rise of Nations.
