4/5 for an Early Access - I am looking forward to when this game becomes F2P, increasing the playerbase and level of competition. If you are a League, DOTA, any top down MOBA player, who rages at their team because they are shit, and you wish you could play your role, and their role, then you will enjoy this game. Because that is essentially what it is. Gameplay footage can be [url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yIJl2o1olsM&t=1148s] found here [/url] Great match showing high level play. Anxiety is top 10, Zuck3r I believe is top 20. Game currently has a "replay" feature, allowing you to watch live and played games by other players. Game allows you to play AI/test rigs whilst matchmaking. In game leaderboard. [b]My experience[/b] I have put 29 hours into this game so far, and still going strong. I personally love this game, and it has scratched the RTS itch I have been stuck with for sometime now. It combines my two favourite genre's and creates a replayable competitive experien...

Bottom line: 1- This should be free to play 2- This is a MOBA, not an RTS 3- The gameplay is not really anything new I have some mixed feelings about this one. It was fun for an afternoon. The aesthetics are interesting. It's basically like Heroes of the Storm with robots, multi-unit control, and bad collision detection. The ability to customize every rig makes it hard to size up your competition at a glance. If you've played League of Legends and Heroes of the Storm, you've basically already seen the same abilities (with some of them being tremendously annoying). Because of these abilities, rewards for completing matches don't really feel rewarding or compelling. I find marketing this as an RTS to be misleading. Controlling 3 units does not make an RTS. But the main problem here is that the core game basically already exists in other F2P games; why wait for the devs to suss out the balance issues and lower the price, when there is so little in the way of original gameplay?

This comes from someone who has little experience with MOBAs, is terrible at RTSes, and is still very, very new to this. I really like it! What I've enjoyed about Dropzone so far is its commitment to bringing more RTS into the MOBA genre. Managing a small team of 3 rigs (heroes) at once, and as the sole player for your side, the pace of a match becomes far more reliant on your ability to micro and macro-manage on the fly. I love this idea in concept, even if in practice I'm really poor at it! Yet that's the compelling part to Dropzone. Where I'd quit a normal RTS for being far too overwhelming, this strikes a kind of positive-frustration in my brain. I feel like if I just play a match every other night, I get a little better. Not like, MLG Pro status, but better than I was a week ago. While I can't comment too much on the lineup (still working on the first 3 people I picked), I do like that individual characters only seem to influence ults. Other abilities are based on that charact...

One month old and already dead. No one online to play with. Requested refund since as a multiplayer game it fails to acheive the status of multiplayer on even the most basic level. Controls in tutorial were fine. Customization is good. A potentially great F2P style game charging $20 + a dlc cash shop.

another moba with no players on steam (as like airmech, primeworld, strife, bloodline champions) lobby is always empty quick match queue takes 15mins then find 1v1 you can still play against ai without teammates but its boring not worth its price

I'm personally a big fan of micro-managing, so this game is right up my alley. If you don't like micro-managing though, there's a mode to play a normal 3v3 where everyone controls one character, just like with another MOBA. The "customize your characters" part of the game is pretty lackluster. Every class currently has 3 pilots each, and each pilot can pick between a set of skills for their class; 2 different tank pilots can pick between the same active abilities, but a mechanic can't pick the same active abilities as a tank.

I really like Dropzone a lot. I haven't played many MOBAs before but I have played lots of RTS. This is a nice hybrid of the two. It's a little slower paced than a pure MOBA, which I like cuz it gives more time for deeper strategy. Also I love that there is a 1 V 1 option. Playing MOBAs with randoms equals yuck for me. I love all the different pilots and loadouts you can chose from. Also it's great to be able to play a quick game.

Listen, I'm an RTS gamer, through and through. Total Annihilation was my game way back when (and now of course Spring and Supreme Commander, etc.) So don't get me wrong, this game isn't, per se, an RTS, but rather a hybrid MOBA with RTS elements. Now, I've always liked the *idea* of a MOBA - all the excitement and micromanagement of an RTS, without the scattered focus, complexity, and resource management. Just for a change, you know? But every time I've tried one, it's been awful. Tons of grinding or $$$ required to compete, irrational last hitting nonsense, weird social games with your teammates, blah blah blah. So I'd written them off entirely. But this game? This game is THE MOBAish RTSish for RTS gamers (and probably for MOBA fans too, but I wouldn't know). It's got: - Cool characters (and quite diverse to boot! You go developers!) who are all fun to play - Contol three characters at once, so you still get that map-controlling element and the multitasking - No computer-controlled ...

30 online according to steamchart and rightly so. Terrible character models (red box with wheels and a tube for gun and a 'head') that all look the same, so much so that its impossible to tell them apart. There is no variety in weapons and pilots too. They are all the same essentially. You can slap most parts on any rig so whats the point in even having different ones? Terrible map design, both visually and functionally. There is nothing on the map other than watchtowers and hives that are all the same and a droppoint in the middle. Droppoint is literally 1 screen away from each teams resp, which means enemy will just walk there and become invincible/heal up all the time. Its impossible to kill someone unless they are horribly overextended. Game is basically 1vs1. It's boring and devs seems to understand that. As a solution to that they added a 3v3 mode in which each player only controls one rig. Which turns the game into the worst moba ever created possibly. I assume, cuz i couldnt ...
