Drone Strike Force is Now Available on Steam

Drone Strike Force hit Steam’s Early Access program today, with a price of 19.99 USD. Drone Strike Force will bring a new approach to the FPS genre in the form of highly-skilled and competitive drone combat. To celebrate this launch, starting this weekend, top content creators will be doing battle to compete in a “Skins for Wins” event. Limited Edition skins are on the line for any player that records 20 wins as their favorite drone before September 1st.

Drone Strike Force has also revealed its first several months of free content, which you can see in the image below. This includes a PVE mode, new skins, and rewards that are on the way in September. That new PVE mode will see players fighting hordes of AI-controlled drones, whether you choose to play in groups or solos, for the best score possible. What’s better, this mode can be played while in the queue for other modes, so you are never far from the drone-filled action.

October through January is also outlined, with a Skirmish Lobby, an Armor and Shields System, New Weapons, Achievements, New Game Modes, Ranked Mode, and Leaderboards all planned to land at varying times. The future is bright, even if it’s mostly controlled by drones fighting one another.
