About the Game

Spider Matrix is a tactical 3rd-person 3D shooter with platformer elements where you must stop the Machine Swarm—a ruthless hive mind.

Your squad previously deployed with a single task: forcibly shift an enemy base from orbit—a massive asteroid fully adapted by the Swarm—but the operation failed. Thought the mission was over? You were wrong.

The worst has just begun—your mind is trapped inside the metallic body of a Scout Spider, part of an alien system, but the human intellect can find a loophole in any defense.

FIND THE WEAK SPOT

Every Swarm enemy has an Achilles' heel. Break their shields, find vulnerable nodes, and use their own weapons against them. Support drones, assault mechs, automated defenses—everyone has a weak point. Find it before the system breaks you.

SET YOUR OWN RULES

The asteroid's multi-layered labyrinth offers vast maneuverability, as your spider frame's built-in magnetic grapples securely hold you to any surface. Attack drones from the ceiling, flank heavy robots, and use the environment to your strategic advantage.

DISARM AND DESTROY

Strip weapons from enemies right in combat. Every barrel that fired at you a second ago can become your arsenal. Grab a Gatling laser to ricochet shots across agile drones or intercept a grenade launcher to trap heavy bots. Use Swarm tech against itself.

ECHOES OF THE EXPEDITION

The expedition failed, comrades perished, but you fight on. Inside the Swarm system, you see all its vulnerabilities, while every trace of your fallen squad reveals the scale of the catastrophe. Foil the Hive Mind's plans and save your home planet.
