How it feels

A fast-paced tactical game where you command thousands of drones in quick, physics-driven fights, balancing offense and defense to protect your mothership.

What players say

Players praise the swarm control mechanic as fresh but say the game suffers from repetition, a very short campaign, and an unfinished feel. Many complain that deluxe weapons are bugged and fire automatically without player control. Reviews are split on the story, with some calling it interesting and others finding the writing insultingly bad.
