Plot

Battleswarm takes place on a foreign planet during a catastrophic war between humans, and a race of giant bugs.

Gameplay

Battleswarm had a unique gameplay concept which pitted two genres of gameplay against one another. The human side was played as a first- or third-person shooter, while the bugs were commanded in the style of a real-time strategy game.

The game had both PvP and PvE gameplay, and had a large selection of game types and maps.
