    Overall, Dreadnought is a capital ship battler set in the future where giant ships dominate the galaxy. Each different ship will offer you a different way to play, and more options as you upgrade. Currently only available on PlayStation 4 and Microsoft Windows, Dreadnought is a free to play game with optional packs to buy, and premium services to purchase to increase the number of rewards you receive.

    Dreadnought offers some unforgettable moments of cosmic warfare, and it’s refreshing to see a free-to-play developer bringing down some of its paywalls instead of building them up. But unless you have a penchant for pimping up some undeniably good-looking spaceships (complete with dynamically firing thrusters that glow red when you move the ship—phwoar), there’s little awaiting you at the higher tiers of the game that you can’t already find earlier on.

    Overall, Dreadnought offers a fun experience for anyone who has dreamed of commanding their own spaceship and battling against other people online. The triumphant feeling that comes with taking down an enemy with a well-timed volley of missiles, and watching as they go down slowly in flames, is an experience I would recommend to anyone. And hey, it is completely free, so there is really no reason not to try it.

    Dreadnought in many ways successfully brings the World of Tanks formula to outer space with sci-fi flair, and the vertical movements of the ships add some depth. It’s often fun, but if you want to advance at a reasonable pace you’ll have to deal with an unreliably active PS4 player population and an XP system that requires a lot of grinding to unlock new ships.

    Dreadnought is a great co-op experience. It fulfils a grand scale ship combat itch I didn't realize I had. The game offers so much by way of combat, progression and co-op play. Having now poured several hours into the game both in a coop setting (with dame) and also progressing by myself I can say that this game benefits from playing with Friends or clanmates. I had the most fun when communicating with my team, working together and playing our classes well. It is a great co op experience.
