[h1] [b]I AM SWARM[/b] Drones are not toys so make sure to make good use of them. Send them to annihilate spaceships by dragging lines or create barriers for protection. Total drone count is your health, don't loose to many or it's game over. Another ability is charge, where you hold button in one point with your sausage finger and blast drones with high impact. Some objects can be pushed by doing that technique like cargo boxes. Missions include not always defending but also other goals to complete, but on the contrary missions are super short. Story is ok with comic book like cutscenes. Upgrade swarm for new attacks. Very atmospheric. Interesting mix of strategy and unique approach is what makes this one worth checking out.

The result is a game that feels refreshingly different from many of its genre counterparts and offers a strategic experience centered on precision, adaptation, and creativity. The story follows the crew of the Argo, humanity’s final faster-than-light spacecraft, as they search the galaxy for a new home. This narrative backdrop gives purpose to the campaign and transforms the experience into more than a series of disconnected battles. Throughout the journey, players encounter hostile forces, make decisions regarding their route, and interact with various events that shape the voyage. While the plot does not redefine science-fiction storytelling, it successf…

Game is not yet stable. It's a fun concept; the controls aren't bad, but it's not worth replaying a mission because it crashed at the end.
