Discounts
Every price cut of more than 20% we have observed, in each market that quoted one, with this game's chart position on either side of it. These are episodes, not a model: a sale is one event, and one event cannot tell you what the next one will do.
Reviews, worldwide (the counter carries no country): 1/day in the week to Aug 25 → 3.86/day in the week after.
For scale, across Steam · Top Sellers · Brazil over the last 30 days: the 25 chart moves that followed a price cut of more than 20% went a median of 10 places towards #1, and the 2,413 moves with no price cut behind them went 2 away. One store, one chart, one country — it is the only place we have enough observations to say even that.
Prices outside the United States have been collected since 6 August 2026 and chart positions since 19 July 2026, so a cut older than that has no market to compare and a market that joined later has no history yet. Nothing here is converted between currencies.
About
The hive is angry. They have claimed this planet. Today, today, today, they whisper to their brothers, to their sisters. The swarm shivers in anticipation. They click, they chitter, they burst. Today, today, today. They move as a river, a steady stream, towards the camp of the walking machines. In unison, they chant: we kill, we kill, we kill.
Will you stop them?

Managing your settlement is crucial in Here Comes The Swarm. Gather enough resources for upgrades and expansion while keeping your population fed and happy. Make sure your defenses are ready when the swarm comes.

Build the army you want, and train your units to ready them for the hive's strongest enemies. Strength comes in numbers for the swarm, and their onslaught will be unrelenting. Get ready to find thousands of fiends trying to breach your walls.

Choose between various deities and their divine powers to help you on your journey. Their blessings may very well be the difference between survival and defeat. Will you focus on attack, defense, or something completely different?

Find Arcane essences on your skirmishes to upgrade your Arcanum, unlocking new, powerful nodes that will change the game. Choose between these new boons to further tailor the game to your own preference.

Enter the expedition map for a whole new adventure. No play session will be the same as you encounter new blessings and empowered enemies. With every new step, your adventure will be further shaped by your decisions.

Don't let time be your enemy; make tactical decisions by pausing the game during critical moments. You can plan the building of your base, assign army movement, or use it to make yourself a hot drink: you deserve it.

I have a few hours into this game and can't get enough of it. Can't wait to see future improvements to this game, specifically pathfinding. Units tend to get stuck behind objects or takes a path directly into enemy units or strongholds.
Game has definitely sucked me in. It deserves a lot more recognition than it's received so far. TAB-like in a good way, Arcanum is a fun aspect and allows for different builds to have some fun with. Looking forward to more from this one!

Feels like they are billions. clearly a long way left to go, but it's firing on all cylinders so far.
Super jeu, moins difficile que le jeu Age of darkness mais tout aussi interessant
棘やヒールの概念は面白く感じました。 防衛施設(バリスタとか)の種類が少なく成長率・将来的な伸びしろが少ないのは個人的に残念でした。 まだ早期アクセスなので今後のアップデートが少し楽しみです。
Good RTS/Survival game. Can lack a bit of choices in terms of units variety (both yours and enemies, maybe a second faction could be cool). However it works very well, good gameplay flow, clearing the map to get essence is fun and rewarding and animations are funny. I was searching for a replacement for They Are Billions and I'm sure Here Comes The Swarm is a really good candidate (what's up with those game and titles that are sentences ??). Anyway, good job devs, keep up and add a bit more content us the players to enjoy and it'll be an (even more) amazing game !
I never leave reviews but this game is incredibly underplayed. As a dad, having the ability to pause and save when I want is a huge plus. The three deities bring a nice mix and unlocking new nodes really adds some different strategies to the mix. All 3 game modes are fun: classic skirmish to have a mess around, expedition brings some really fun and interesting power ups for that play through finishing with a boss, and finally endless to see how far you can push yourself, balancing expansion and defense. All around great game which deserves more love

This is a fun spiritual successor to They Are Billions. RTS where you need to clear the map of mobs and prepare your base for timed waves. I like the Arcanum buff slots that allow you to customize what type of buffs you want to play with
