Episode 12: Swarm

Swarm is the newest grapple hook game in town and it’s bringing out the big guns (literally)! Will it perform well?

Swarm is a new fast-paced, arcade-style grapple shooter, and we think it’s going to perform pretty well. But why do we think that, and what do the developers need to do to ensure it? This week, listen to us inspect (and recommend) the game from a developer’s perspective.

Check out Swarm.
