About Insect Swarm


Insect Swarm is a flying shooting game from a top-down perspective, with features that you need to fight against a huge number of insects, explore freely in the borderless map, collect resources, and upgrade your airframe and weapons.

You can switch the Mecha mode and equip the Mecha with a melee weapon with extended reach and a heavy Gatling gun.

You can use the Keyboard to control movement and the Mouse to shoot/perform a melee attack, and carry one main weapon and one secondary weapon to fight.

All upgrades have no level cap, players can continue leveling up as long as your resources are sufficient.

Game Story



Only you and countless insects are left on this planet, which was found in the vast space just a few years ago. Though it's a barren desert world, there’re numerous rare minerals discovered on its surface, which contain extremely high energy, so people began to build mining bases to exploit these valuable resources until a terrifying roar came out of the underground in a day, and then a number of alien creatures crawled out, which are called "Blood Insects".

After that, it was unveiled that these minerals are Crystals that are condensed from highly concentrated blood of the Blood Insects! It was our large mining vehicles that had disturbed these creatures slumbering underground, so they launched a fierce retaliatory attack on us, destroying almost all mining bases and equipment. Unfortunately, you were not able to evacuate in time and have to try to survive and escape from this hell. And if you can... destroy this planet to put an end to this trouble once and for all! Good luck!

THe game runs well, and is very, very simplistic. You get dropped into a desert and told to farm crystals and kill bugs. Raise numbers. Kill big bugs. Go. When you kill the first big bug you get a mech. The game gets very stale, very quickly. My best explanation of it is an incremental game that requires a lot of manual movement with very little novelty in it. I cannot in good faith recommend it, but if you just want some bug swarm squsah of this sort, it will run okay.

Don't know whats wrong with this game, it made my previous PC shutdown while I play it and it does the same to my current setup. Game seems cool to play but just cant recommend it (obviously).

great arcade game to kill some time worth giving the devs some cash, really excited to see if these guys can flesh it out more and get some more meat into the game. Maybe a sequel with modular parts or new weapons or better yet environments. still a good time have no problems with the game other than it can get repetitive but I dont think thats a big deal.
