Deep Among the Swarm

Deep Among the Swarm is a survival RTS roguelite about holding out against thousands of enemies and drilling as deep as you can. You build and expand a base, gather Radium to fuel your drill and customize your army as you descend through increasingly powerful enemies.

Defend your base

Starting the drill brings a massive swarm of monsters to attack. You set up defensive barricades and choke points, and clear out the surrounding darkness to expand your base. Controlling more resources lets you grow more powerful, while collecting more Radium allows you to drill deeper.

Equip your forces

After every level, you can customize all units and buildings with different weapons, armour and upgrades. Doing better in each mission earns more currency to craft new equipment.

Grow between runs

Defeat ends a run, but each loss lets you unlock meta-progression upgrades that strengthen future attempts. The further down you go, the more meta progression you gain. As you descend, the enemies become increasingly powerful.
