Evaluation

DROP - System Breach launched on March 28, 2023 as a complete, finished game. In the weeks and months following launch, the developer shipped several patches addressing bug fixes, accessibility improvements, and quality-of-life features such as leaderboard metrics and post-story procedurally generated levels. On March 28, 2024, the developer posted a first-anniversary celebration highlighting the speedrun leaderboard — a community engagement post with no announcements of upcoming content. The most recent developer communication of any kind was a small bug fix posted on January 3, 2024. Since then, there have been no posts, patches, announcements, or roadmaps of any kind. The game's only DLC is a soundtrack that released on launch day. There are no unreleased DLC entries, no season pass, and no developer statements pointing to future content. The game launched as a finished single-player experience and has shown no indication of planned post-launch content expansions.

About this game

DROP is an action-strategy hacking simulator with puzzle and roguelike gameplay elements. Challenge yourself to the unique gameplay and intensity offered by Developer Etherfield Studio.

The future is disconnected. The world has recoiled and fractured into countless digital enclaves and virtual fortresses in an era of digital isolation, suspicion, and espionage. In this world, there’s only one truth: hackers get fame, money, and dead if they’re not careful.




You are a promising hacker with huge ambitions, an empty bank account, and the burning desire to prove yourself. When your actions attract the attention of a notorious hacker group, The Swarm, life gets complicated - real quick.

Your world turns upside-down when simple jobs hurl you into a power struggle between The Swarm, different factions, and megacorporations that could decide the fate of the world’s fragmented networks. Use your cunning, stealth, and prowess to stay ahead of what lurks around the next node.
