How co-op works
Online co-op for one to four players combining four distinct classes to suppress massive enemy hordes across procedurally generated levels. Coordination and positioning are essential to avoid friendly fire while completing objectives and extracting resources.
About this game
DarkSwarm sends squads of up to four players into lost colonies overrun by hostile creatures. Every deployment presents procedurally generated environments where teams must fight through thousands of enemies, secure valuable resources, and extract before being overwhelmed. The game centers on tactical coordination rather than individual heroics.

Combat demands careful sight lines and disciplined fire control to avoid hitting teammates while suppressing waves of enemies. Four distinct classes bring complementary tools to each mission, from heavy weapons to support abilities, and the right composition makes the difference when swarms converge. Positioning, callouts, and managing crossfire separate successful extractions from failed runs.
Procedural generation ensures no two deployments play the same, and escalating objectives encourage repeated runs as squads refine their tactics. Class synergy and environmental hazards provide depth for teams willing to master the coordination loop. As an Early Access title, features and balance will continue to evolve around the core tactical co-op shooter framework.
