How it feels

You control a desperate defense against an unending, chittering alien tide that moves like a single angry organism.

What players say

Players say the game is a promising swarm RTS with deity skill trees and an addictive loop, but early access balance issues, fast waves, scarce resources, and clunky micro, sour the experience for some. Many compare it to They Are Billions, and supporters urge continued development.
