About Here Comes The Swarm

✦ AI summary

Here Comes The Swarm is a strategy defense game where you build and manage a settlement while defending against endless waves of hostile creatures swarming toward your walls. Combine resource management, army training, deity-granted powers, and roguelike upgrades through an Arcanum system to create a unique defense strategy that evolves with every playthrough.

The hive is angry. They have claimed this planet. Today, today, today, they whisper to their brothers, to their sisters. The swarm shivers in anticipation. They click, they chitter, they burst. Today, today, today. They move as a river, a steady stream, towards the camp of the walking machines. In unison they chant: we kill, we kill, we kill.

Will you stop them?
Managing your settlement is crucial in Here Comes The Swarm. Gather enough resources for upgrades and expansion while keeping your population fed and happy. Make sure your defenses are ready when the swarm comes.
Build the army you want, and train your units to ready them for the hive's strongest enemies. Strength comes in numbers for the swarm, and their onslaught will be unrelenting. Get ready to find thousands of fiends trying to breach your walls.
Choose between various deities and their divine powers to help you on your journey. Their blessings may very well be the difference between survival and defeat. Will you focus on attack, defense, or something completely different?
Find Arcane essences on your skirmishes to upgrade your Arcanum, unlocking new, powerful nodes that will change the game. Choose between these new boons to further tailor the game to your own preference.
Enter the expedition map for a whole new adventure. No play session will be the same as you encounter new blessings and empowered enemies. With every new step, your adventure will be further shaped by your decisions.
Don't let time be your enemy; make tactical decisions by pausing the game during critical moments. You can plan the building of your base, assign army movement, or use it to make yourself a hot drink: you deserve it.

✦ AI summary

Here Comes The Swarm is a roguelike survival game that players praise for its engaging gameplay loop, flexible upgrade system that allows different playstyles, and solid replayability through varied buff combinations. While some note it could benefit from more unit variety and additional content, players generally find it to be a fun and well-made experience that scratches the itch for this genre, with comparisons to similar titles like They Are Billions suggesting it delivers on what fans of that style are looking for.

I wish i could give this a middling review. It is fine. There is a significant lack of variety, the first few minutes of every game are identical. The developers added a bit of variability with a talent system based on each god but it ends up being stale. I think a few more units with a few more towers would have made a huge difference in the feel of this game. once again, not bad not great. it's just barely a positive review.

Yes I like this game. Can't explain why...just here to flex my pc specs :D

I'm not sure why, but it seems Here Comes The Swarm has slipped under the radar and it shouldn't have. If you liked They Are Billions this game is for you. If you like the RTS genre this game is for you. If you enjoy tower defence games this is for you. If you enjoyed Diplomacy is Not an Option buy this game. This game is excellent. There are hundreds of hours of gameplay here and it's still in EA for only 17 sterling. My ONLY gripe is the lack of unit diversity. But it is in early access.

The rising difficulty without forcing "no pause" give interesting long term challenge without needing to be a god tier player.

If you love old school RTS games this is the modern game you want. So many of these kinds of games try hard but I feel miss that nostalgic itch. This game is fairly simple and straightforward and that's why I love it. I sat down and within 30 minutes my old RTS roots were firing on all cylinders and I felt right at home. We do not need a complicated economy or manage a million things just low key and simple and I deeply appreciate changing game speed as a true RTS and 4X fan I enjoy a nice long slow burn game playing at my own pace. Also being able to pause and look around the board is a chefs kiss thank you for this feature. This allows you to stop the clock and strategically think about where your choke points could be placed what you should build next or how to best improve a wall point that isn't up to snuff.
