I remember playing this game like 10 years ago, it was colorful and funny as heck + it had great visuals for what it is. IDK maybe i had not that much games to play, or i am just too old for that kind of games, but i dont feel it as enjoyable as it used to be. Maybe it's just no my cup of tea. It's still a good game tho +Cheap +Steam achievements +PvP and PvE +Colorful arcade with physics involved. -No cards

60 / 100 Swarm Arena is a great concept for a simple 1-on-1 battle arena game that is rather unique. You control a swarm of flying pixel thingies that when in range of your ship can be used defensively or offensively. Defense, forces the swarm to hold its position, providing you with some cover against incoming attacks, where Offensive has a number of modes (shoot, circle) used to push your swarm out to attack your...

It's a game about hitting things with particles. That's your one sentence elevator pitch right there. YOU HIT THINGS WITH PARTICLES. And it works. To a point. It's a really weird game because when it works, when your play and the game come together and you're spinning around this arena with your swarm of particles (hence "Swarm Arena") smacking the hell out of whatever comes your way, it feels tremendous. The way...

Swarm Arena is a minimalistic game where you control a swarm of particles and fight other swarms. Since there's no story we're jumping to graphics. Graphics: Swarm Arena goes for a very minimalistic art style, it's background is a space screen with a bunch of different colored particles flying around the screen. There's not much to talk about here, but it does it's job well, however I will say that sometimes when...

The most beautiful CRAP game in my library. My goodness. I rarely recommend against games, but this one, bought like a decade ago or so, is one of them: While the graphics are nice and music and sound make for a great arcade vibe, the gameplay is just awful: The (lack of) control you have over your swarm makes it pretty much random whether you score 100.000 points or 1 million. Due to the very same lack of control...

Swarm Arena is a compact but conceptually distinctive indie arcade title developed and published by Dedication Games that experiments with control, motion, and tactical pressure through its central swarm-based mechanic. Rather than presenting players with a conventional avatar wielding weapons, the game asks them to master a living cloud of entities that function simultaneously as offense, defense, and identity. This...

Tell you what, I had this game on Demo originally and I played it and played it and played it, that I decided to buy the full product. I really liked the concept, the minimalist simplicity, and the explosive glow-y looking graphics, but after I installed it, I reached about level three in 90 minutes, and then I kept getting snipped by the AI, and I haven't made any progress in the last twelve years. Huge...

Graphic and music of this game is art. I can enjoy seeing orbits and listening good music at the same time. This is beautiful idea. It's like "Universe Sandbox" combine with space fighter game.

Control swarm of drones (particles in this case) and accelerate or stop them inside your zone of influence (green circle around your orb). Goal is to maneuver them so they hit the enemy (red orb). Pretty bad if you ask me and doesn't offer anything more. Skip it.

A nice arcade style game for casual players or hardcore ones. Basically, the tiny droids revolve around you that attack and protect you from opposing droids. A pretty good game that anyone can play and play against for a couple of bucks!
