The team is led to strange, sprawling exoplanets, swarming with hordes of alien filth, to defend the outposts of humanity from certain doom in an absolute war for survival. With class-based gameplay, you and your team will utilize both weapons and cunning to complete the mission, make a daring escape with the loot, and save whatever — and whoever — needs to be rescued.
- Join an Elite Mercenary Squad – Take on perilous missions in both local and online co-op in teams of up to four players, with class-based gameplay that features four distinct roles and upgrade paths.
- Prepare Your Loadout – Select the weapons that will ensure your survival, and customise DarkSwarm's characters with a variety of skins to help stand out amongst the alien hordes.
- Explore Dangerous Exoplanets – Enter sprawling procedurally generated maps across four unique biomes, each with semi-destructible environments.
- Defend Humanity – Lead your squad on dangerous expeditions to protect the outposts of humanity from certain doom. Reach your objective, then escape with whatever – and whoever – needs to be rescued.
