Dropship will be an exhilarating, accessible and highly atmospheric action game, combining air-to-air and air-to-ground combat elements with real-time strategy influences. Players take the role of a rookie pilot who will be flying different types of advanced Dropships, each heavily armed and capable of different flight modes, in a variety of hazardous military operations.

Incorporating three different game styles: Space-To-Ground, Real-Time strategy and Flight Sim Combat, Dropship presents the player with a completely immersive and original battle experience. By combining previously exclusive gameplay elements, Studio Camden has developed a game that is challenging mix of strategic and action-packed missions. Dropship will enthrall players as they advance through a variety of missions (Offensive, Defensive, Stealth and Surveillance, Escort/Patrol, Productive and Rescue/Retrieval) each requiring the deployment of suitable tactics and combat policy.

Players can drop through the stratosphere, delivering their troops safely to the planet's surface where they will proceed to dispatch artillery and vehicles to key strategic positions; and interact with the troops directly in the battles that unfold. How successfully they advance through the mission will directly effect the playerˇ¦s ranking and licences throughout the game.

Dropship allows gamers to participate in an epic war that escalates and unfolds before them, where their individual strategy decisions can influence the outcome. One false move could effectively jeopardise the safety of the troops under their control. All is to play for in these, the battlegrounds of the future.
