Metal Swarm Infinity is an indie arcade shooter that proudly embraces the traditions of classic space-based shoot ’em ups while incorporating enough modern ideas to keep the experience feeling fresh. Developed by Andrew Nutter666 Jaggar and George Dutton, and published by Andrew Nutter666 Jaggar, the game places players in a galaxy threatened by a relentless mechanical menace known as the Metal Swarm. The premise is simple, but it serves as an effective foundation for a gameplay-focused experience where survival, reflexes, and high-score chasing take center stage. Rather than relying on elaborate storytelling, the game focuses on delivering a steady stream of action that constantly pushes players to improve their performance. The heart of the game lies in its procedurally generated wave system. Instead of presenting the same enemy formations every time, Metal Swarm Infinity introduces randomized encounters that help each run feel different. This approach greatly enhances replay value, as players never know exactly what combination of enemies they will face next. The constant unpredictability keeps the action engaging and prevents the gameplay loop from becoming too repetitive. As …3 found this helpful
Very nice and very affordable retro space action shooter in the line of old school Galaga. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H08v_chB2Vo This game offers a choice to play with mouse & keyboard, mouse alone, or a controller. Just make sure you select which option you want to use in the game options before starting a game. While I'd like to see the options off sliders for the sound effects and music, an off or on switch for these is all that's currently available. There are also no resolution settings, but there is a full screen or window option which helps. The controls are crisp and responsive regardless of which control option you've made. Sound effects are well done, but I did notice that your ships basic fire has no sound at all, which makes the game feel like it's missing something.. and it is! My biggest complaint with Metal Swarm Infinity is that there just isn't enough variety in the basic enemies and bosses. It's the year 2021, and even though this game only costs $5 USD, it would still be nice to see this game offer more variety and depth so that it has much longer replay value. Overall, I give this game a Recommend, and an 8 out of 10 score which some might find…3 found this helpful
