Our take on Swarm

The focus on rapid movement and short arcade sessions sacrifices slower pacing and the broader structure of a long-form adventure. Its demanding difficulty also leaves limited room for relaxed play.

What is Swarm?

Swarm is a fast-paced, arcade-style VR grapple shooter built around quick sessions, bright colorful worlds, and globally competitive leaderboards.

Players use a grappling hook and pistols while battling toward the heart of the Swarm. Quick reactions are part of the challenge, but survival also requires strategic thinking and planning the next move. The game presents intense, demanding action with a high difficulty level. Windows Mixed Reality and Valve Index headsets are supported.
