The Horus Heresy: Drop Assault

The Horus Heresy: Drop Assault is a mobile strategy game in the style of Clash of Clans. Released in 2015, players build bases, train Legions, and attack other players in this free-to-play experience set during the civil war. The familiar mobile strategy format meets the Horus Heresy setting.

The gameplay follows established mobile strategy patterns. Resources are collected, buildings constructed, and troops produced. Attacks on other player bases yield loot. Guilds enable cooperation with other players for coordinated assaults.

The Horus Heresy theming is present though surface-level. Different Legions offer different units, and known characters appear as heroes. Events tie into lore moments from the great civil war between loyalists and traitors.

Drop Assault was a typical mobile game of its time. For casual players with interest in 30K, it offered entertainment, though it never reached the depth of PC strategy games set in the same era.
