Night Swarm

Night Swarm takes a familiar set of mechanics and adds just enough innovation to make them feel engaging again. The actual missions are quick, with quests thrown in to add variety and plenty of abilities to mix and match. The randomized runs cannot fully compensate for the repetitive action gameplay, but they come close. The title’s biggest weakness is that it gives players a few too many resources to juggle. Boss battles also fail to shine. Night Swarm is a good Vampire Survivors-like that shows there’s still plenty of space for the genre to try out new ideas.
