For everyone that’s been following Dropzone, we’ve got good news. The hybrid MOBA and RTS game in Steam’s Early Access has now gone free to play.

Players can start downloading the game on Steam right now and check out what’s new with the game. There’s lots of features added to coincide with the free to play transition as well.

In a video interview with Sparkypants president Jason Coleman, it was mentioned that player feedback was an integral part of creating the new features. The number one thing asked for by the community was a more streamlined mode.

As a result, Dropzone now has a dedicated 3v3 mode. Players will only control one Rig, instead of all three. This new feature ensures that both new players and casuals will have a more streamlined experience. It’s also a great introduction mode for players to ease into the game, to prepare for the other modes where micromanagement and strategy becomes more of a factor.

The update also contains the brand new Ranked Draft 1v1 mode. This is a new competitive mode which raises the stakes as players will need to maximize their load outs for their Pilot, Rig and Gear. If you want a more competitive gameplay, the new Ranked Draft seems like the perfect mode for you.

In a previous article, we’ve already talked about what players can expect as a whole from this unique hybrid game. Now that it’s free to play, there is no better time to grab some friends and jump in today.

Dropzone is a new hybrid MOBA with real time strategy elements and it has just entered Steam under Early Access. The game’s combination of the two genres is a refreshing mix on an overcrowded market.

A lot of what the game’s developers, Sparkypants say do make sense though. Most MOBAs are born with game play roots and mechanics that date back to real time strategy games.

Titles like Dota, HoN and League of Legends all started this way. What Dropzone has done integrates the two genres together to combine the best of both worlds.

For starters, players will no longer control a single hero character. They now have several units to control and fight against the opponent and their units.

From the trailers and snippets, you can see that the intensity is definitely there. Because it’s more than one thing you’re controlling, the game has a lot more micromanagement. So there isn’t any downtime and you’re always moving and making tactical decisions every second during a match.

What I also like are the visuals of the game itself. It’s very thematic and the units and map reminds me of the good old Starcraft days. It is a mix of DOTA, Starcraft and some LoL all thrown in together and the result looks interesting.

At the moment, there isn’t any information on a possible release date or price so let’s hope that the early access goes well. For strategy lovers who also enjoy MOBAs, keep your eyes on this one because it has the potential to give you countless sleepless nights.
