What is Swarm Queen?
In this single-player real-time strategy game, you play an insectoid queen battling a rival on Jupiter's moon Europa. Across campaign levels, you spawn harvesters to collect nectar, mutate eggs within four available slots, and choose which combat bugs to produce. Your units pick their own targets, and each level introduces an enemy unit or ability you can unlock for later battles.
For you if...
- +you enjoy timing unit spawns and adapting to counters
- +you like challenging solo campaigns with unlockable units
Not for you if...
- −you want to command every unit's movements directly
- −you want multiplayer battles against other players
