I had a soft spot for swarm arena, but this just feels worse?
Plus, the dialoge & 'setup' is irritating and just not fun.
Enjoyed going for high scores for a while in this unique little game, i don't really know how to explain it. It's kinda like a twinstick arena survival game but you really have to play it to get a feel for it, it took awhile for the game to click with me but once it does it's really satisfying.
You basically have a swarm following your movement so you need to control it in such a way you send the swarm into the enemies based somewhat on a physics system but you can also 'shoot' them out.
Just grab it if you think it looks interesting, it's different and you might like going for the achievements like i did if you enjoy finding unique games off the beaten path.
Best game with level editor I played recently
Avoid unless the game is on discount and you already own a controller or stick.
If you want to rebind keyboard controlls for a more ergonomic experience, a restart of the game may be required for the controls to work, and they'll still only provide a clumsy aproximation of control over the swarm.
NO options for mouse controls except for when playing a "shooter mode" that has nothing to do with controlling a swarm.
Didn't bother to try much of the game's content because of the nature of the keyboard controls - this review may be updated after I find my controller.
genius mechanics... and extremely fun
..but also rage inducing. But that's not a negative thing....all my favorite games are rage inducing. Haven't played long enough to say much more, other than the fact it's definately worth buying.
It's really fun!
In one word, this game is "Perfection". You're like a swarm of angry bees.
Pros:
- Simple to learn, hard to master
- Runs smoothly considering you know what you're doing
- Modding = Infinite possibilities
- The story is hilariously rushed but funny
Cons:
- The serious modding is BRUTAL.
- Did I mention how much I hate the Scorpions and Penta-Turrets?
- The early levels are a bit lewd at first glance, because the first enemies look like sperm, and you are a swarm "egg".
Nice Game. The levels are challanging but not to hard. If your are in search of an retro akade game with some refreshing new game mechanics, then you will have some real fun with this game.
Great top down game with a truly unique combat system.
Pros
-Great Controls
-Fun Combat
-Nice graphics (screenshots don't really do it justice, game looks much better in motion)
-Varied enemies, lots of levels
-Great price
-Extensive modding tools
Cons
-Havent noticed any yet
I didn't know what to expect when a friend recommended this game to me.
Now I'm enthusiastic. Maybe because of the funny guide through the game or the music that drags you into this challenge. The drone-thing is a nice idea by the way. There is so much to improove and discover.... gotta go back to the swarm universe!
My first impression is, that Swarm Universe is a great game! Bot-7 has a great sense of humor and introduces you really well to the game and it's mechanics. The well integrated ranking system gets you hooked. You want to climb the ladder further and further (or at least be better than your friends).
The gameplay itself is fun and challanging at the same time. I have played with the keyboard. The controls are good, but I can imagine that they are even better with a controller. The level editor opens up a huge potential for future maps and game modes. The price is fair for the amount of content that you get. I can definitly recommend this game!
Its a fine Indi game with a story you have never seen before !
I would recommend a controller to play it !
Neat looks and a great soundtrack! Gameplay works really well, as soon as you get used to "moving like a swarm". Bot-7 has kind of a "tongue in cheek" humor, made me laugh. Cute! Didn't check the modding stuff yet, but this is a really nice indie game.
Hier mal meine +-
+ Flüssiges Spielen (kein einziger lag aufgefallen)
+ Herausfordernd
+ Angenehme Musik
+ Witziger 'Kommentator' (alias bot.7 )
+ Man merkt die Liebe zum Detail
- Steuerung mit dem Keyboard ist mit 4 Tasten nicht genau genug (ja bot-7 emfpielt ein gamepad ... das hab ich nicht). Ich würde empfehlen eine Stuerung über 9 Tasten (Nummernpad) oder noch besser mit der Maus zu unterstützen.
- Die ersten Level sind etwas zu schwer für Einsteiger und da passt das Frust vs. Belohnungs-Verhältnis noch nicht ganz
- Eine Audio-Wiedergabe vom bot-7 würde ich bevorzugen ... zu viel zu lesen ;-)
Interesting...
Basically a game where you control an army of particles with one large unit.
Pretty unique game concept. Haven't seen that before.
You use your movement plus abilities to control your swarm (?) - In one-on-one combat you basically need to hit the opponent with one of your tiny particles and defend yourself with your own particles. Which sounds easy, but needs practice. Trying to get used to multiplayer at the moment.
I got addicted to the game within the first minute. Very intuitive but also challenging gameplay. I do really like the swarm idea. Graphics and animations look gorgeous. This is the kind of game I have waited for a really long time!
I’m preparing myself for multiplayer matches!!
Fast paced game. Fair price for the amount of entertainment you get. Single player to get used to the game mechanics. The muliplayer has different modes like capture the flag. I can create my own maps and creatures, which is awesome! The editor is a bit overwhelming so that will take some more time to get used to.
Reminds me of geometry wars but has more to offer. I like it!
