Über VOIDSWARM
VOIDSWARM is a spacefaring roguelike RTS of massive scale. Your fleet is the last hope standing between civilization and the endless swarm devastating our homeworlds.
VOIDSWARM features at a glance:
- An arsenal of ships to pilot and weaponry to deploy against alien hordes tens of thousands strong.
- A dual-role mechanic where you directly pilot our strongest ships, and act as commander of the entire friendly fleet.
- Cosmic glitches which reshape the battlefield. Some biomes may alter the fabric of reality, making your ships heavier, whilst some introduce new obstacles and enemy types to contend with.
- The Entropy system - a status effect with mysterious properties that you evolve yourself each run. Be wary, though, as each entropy boon you receive is balanced by the cosmic scales. Entropy may lead us to victory, or allow the void to claim you before our enemies are vanquished…
- An enemy that reacts to you and the battlefield, and will take advantage of our weaknesses, if you let them.
- Hard sci-fi style movement, where ships have realistic momentum and inertia. Moving units around the battlefield requires planning and precision!
- A suite of units and defenses to build to fortify our planets and take the fight to the enemy.
- Dozens of permanent upgrades to unlock that increase humanity's chances of survival every run.
- Hundreds of roguelike upgrades to combine each run to suit your personal strategy and style.
Build your arsenal
The swarm descends from the void in unimaginable numbers. But with every enemy eliminated we build our knowledge, capabilities, and unit designs. Our hangars hold a variety of fighters, destroyers, and utility ships like radar scouts and mining platforms - choose whether to be the tip of the spear, a slow but menacing dreadnought, or an invaluable support providing resources and intel to your fleet to maximise their effectiveness.
Ships build momentum over time and have no top speed. Heavy ships take longer to accelerate and decelerate. Moving across the cosmos takes time and precision, pick your ship and plan accordingly!
Adapt your strategy
The enemy is cunning, and no star system is the same. Resources, hazards, enemy tactics, all are factors to consider in your strategy. The enemy will work to outsmart and outmaneuver us if given the chance: they will target our weakest defenses, threaten our resource supply, and will try to disrupt your focus. Match their smarts, and outshine their strategy.
Every engagement is a chance to learn. Even in defeat we can send designs and upgrades forward to other systems to help them in the next fight. Each run introduces new challenges. Rescue lost personnel, intercept enemy logistics, and shut down enemy warp gates to enhance your chances.
Awaiting your orders, Commander
