Metal Swarm Infinity

Metal Swarm Infinity is an arcade-style shoot ’em up in which you fight procedurally generated waves of bugs to rid the galaxy of the Metal Swarm. Collect power-ups to access special weapons, defeat five bosses and harvest their power cores to unlock upgrades for your ship.

Game modes

Choose from three modes, each with a different challenge:

• Arcade Mode: Fight through more than 50 waves, defeat the giant bosses and set a high score in classic arcade-style shoot ’em up gameplay.
• Practice Mode: Play through the first 25 waves and practise against each boss with extra starting lives and more forgiving mechanics.
• Deathwish Mode: Start with one life and survive for as long as you can in a challenging mode.

Unlockable content

Completing in-game achievements unlocks bonus content through gameplay. There are 40 achievements, each of which also unlocks an equivalent Steam Achievement. You can earn cosmetic ship skins that show off your achievements, a CRT filter for retro-style visuals and a bonus mission where you follow a mysterious distress signal to discover what happened to a lost vessel.

Twitch integration

Streamer Mode lets you invite the H1V3M1ND bot to your stream so viewers can vote in real time to influence events. They can vote on which of the five bosses you face next and spend your power cores to choose an upgrade. You can also overrule their choices.
