Dreadnought is an online multiplayer, action shooter game that puts you in control of million-ton capital ships for tactical matches in space and over planetary surfaces. It is a free-to-play full game experience with no Pay-to-Win mechanics. The game offers a deliberate combat pace that gives players time to think and react to an evolving battlefield. You can take into combat a selection of ships and loadouts, which gives you the opportunity to respond to the opposing team's fleet composition and strategy.

The game offers an energy management system that gives your crew the ability to activate shields, increase engine speed, or put all power to weapons to increase your damage output. Through cunning ship configuration, effective energy management, ship positioning, and an intimate understanding of your weapon systems, you can lead your team to victory. As you play, you earn credits and experience to unlock over 60 ships and over 150 weapons and modules across five tiers. Dreadnought also offers new ships, new game modes, new maps, and regular game updates.
