❤ Tactical Stealth Gameplay

You, as the player, take control of an alien Matriarch and her insectoid swarm to defend your home planet from an invading human corporation. The gameplay focuses heavily on stealth and tactical positioning, requiring you to carefully maneuver your units through levels to ambush and eliminate human workers without alerting the entire base.

❤ Unique Alien Unit Abilities

The Matriarch is your central unit, capable of spawning and evolving three specialized drone classes - Goliaths as tanky bruisers, Disrupters as ranged specialists, and Stalkers as stealthy assassins. Each unit type has distinct abilities you can leverage to overcome the levels' challenges. For example, Stalkers can cloak, backstab enemies, and temporarily disable foes, making them essential for stealthy takedowns.

❤ Biomass Management and Progression

As you eliminate human workers, you accumulate biomass that you can use to spawn additional drones or upgrade the abilities of existing units. This creates an interesting resource management element, as you must balance expanding your swarm with ensuring your key Matriarch unit survives. Upgrading units between levels also allows you to tailor your strategies for each new challenge.

❤ Varied Level Design

The seven levels in the campaign each present unique twists on the core gameplay. Some levels may task you with disabling security systems, while others have time-sensitive objectives. This variety keeps the stealth-based gameplay feeling fresh, as you must adapt your tactics to the specific level layout and threats.

❤ Dark Comedic Tone

While the gameplay focuses on tactical stealth, the experience maintains a dark comedic tone throughout. The bumbling human workers and their inept corporate overlords provide humorous situations and dialogue that complement the alien swarm's violent takeover. This blend of challenging gameplay and quirky humor is widely praised by players.
