We’ve just dropped the Closed Alpha Trailer for DarkSwarm – and now it’s your turn to suit up and join the action.
Welcome to the Swarm
DarkSwarm is a top-down tactical co-op shooter from Bitfire Games (published by Ghost Ship Games – the folks behind Deep Rock Galactic). You and up to three friends take on the role of synthetic mercenaries sent deep into abandoned space stations to wipe out a deadly alien infestation. Expect a tense mix of stealth, hacking, and wave-based combat playable online up to 4 players.
The Trailer is Here! - And It's Dark!
The new trailer gives you a first real taste of DarkSwarm’s atmosphere – dark corridors, swarms of hostile lifeforms, and just enough breathing room to make you paranoid. It’s intense, it’s gritty, and it’s exactly the kind of co-op action we’ve been dying to share.

DarkSwarm is an online co-op, top-down tactical shooter. Play as a team of elite operators in procedurally generated, semi-destructible levels. Use your skills, wits, and teamwork to destroy the alien DarkSwarm in daring operations deep inside the infested colonies.
A dark, futuristic world transforms you and your friends into a team of synthetically engineered elite mercenaries, dispatched on a series of perilous missions into the darkest corners of space to battle a horrific alien infection, the DarkSwarm. 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.
Some of the things you will be able to experience:
Loads of blood & gore
Local & online co-op
Huge swarms of nasty aliens
4 distinct player classes
Cunning gameplay like stealth, hacking and tactical play
