The insect swarm is a swarm consists of millions of alien insects, and you, as the only survival on this barren planet, will have to fight against them dauntlessly. Good luck!
The game hooks players with its engaging and addictive gameplay loop. Players fly around, eliminate hordes of alien insects, collect resource crystals, and then return to base to upgrade their ship or mech. This cycle of combat, resource gathering, and progression consistently satisfies, compelling players to continue "one more run."
Combat represents a key strength, as players unleash barrages of firepower from plasma cannons, missiles, and Tesla coils to mow down the bug hordes. Transforming into a powerful mech with a devastating melee weapon further enhances the combat experience, allowing players to unleash devastating attacks. Reviewers praise the "satisfying," "chunky," and "smooth" feel of the combat, with visuals and audio adding to the visceral impact of explosions and insect guts.
Progression and upgrades comprise a crucial aspect. Players collect crystals from defeated enemies and invest them in a wide range of ship or mech improvements, such as weapon, armor, speed, and cargo capacity enhancements. Watching the once-vulnerable vessel transform into an unstoppable juggernaut motivates players to keep progressing, as they unlock new and more powerful abilities.
Many reviewers praise the game as an excellent "turn off your brain" experience, where they can immerse themselves in the mindless joy of blasting endless bug hordes. The simple, easy-to-pick-up gameplay loop, combined with satisfying combat and progression, creates an experience players can lose themselves in while unwinding and destressing.
