[Play now] En Masse Entertainment today announced the launch of Game of Drones, an update for its free-to-play, third-person shooter, Zombies Monsters Robots (ZMR). The update introduces a fleet of drone companions that provide backup in ZMR’s many challenging co-op scenarios, in addition to five new maps, a new competitive game mode, and a new improved leveling-rewards system.
The update’s defining feature, the drone system, allows players to unlock mechanical companions that fight alongside them in co-op modes. Players can unlock four unique drone types, each with their own unique attacks and appearance. Players can also customize their drone with abilities and modifications to best suit their play style and the operation at hand.
1. The Gatling Gundrone trades a higher fire rate for lower damage per hit, making it ideal for controlling crowds and taking down airborne enemies.
2. The Thunderdrone launches powerful, high-impact grenades, making it well suited against larger, slow-moving creatures.
3. The Lazerdrone fires powerful laser beams and is ideal as an all-purpose companion for its high single-target damage. T
4. The Dragondrone fires electric bursts that can damage multiple targets at once.
In addition, Game of Drones also introduces five new maps to the game, including the Assault Ops co-op campaign, “Occupied Earth,” which includes an extremely challenging Nightmare difficulty mode. The update debuts “Charnel Halls,” a new multi-level map for the Mercs vs. Monsters mode, in which players assume control of one of more than 20 unique playable character classes.
