About the Game

Swap Fire was originally a Nintendo Wii U Exclusive. With the closure of the Wii U eShop, we've decided to preserve Swap Fire via Steam. We are especially excited about Steam Remote Play Together, which allows Swap Fire's local multiplayer experience to go online for the first time. Please check out our video tutorial for Steam Remote Play Together and be sure to share it with your friends. They don't need a copy of the game to play with you!

Swap Fire is a high-intensity game show based on RQI's latest teleportation technology. Shooting other players swaps your locations. Using this simple principle, players must out-wit and out-maneuver each other in 9 different game types (King of the Hill, Capture the Flag, Swoccer, Control Point, Find Buddy, Rally Point, Dropzone, Jettison, and Race). It's the ultimate risk-reward proposition!

Before players compete, they can tackle RQI's training, led by its revolutionary AI (which thinks that it's Dr. Nathan Rosen, co-creator of the EPR Paradox). During training, contestants will learn all the ins and outs of Swap Fire and if they're paying attention, they might stumble upon a few secrets!


THE LIMITS:

- Swap Fire runs in full screen 720p at 60Hz with vsync disabled.

- Swap Fire does not have typical PC game options.

- Our intent with this port from Wii U to PC is to preserve the game and hope that more people can enjoy it in multiplayer via Steam Remote Play Together.

- We have added Keyboard and Mouse controls but the game was designed for a controller (a Wii remote no less) and in Steam Remote Play Together, only one player can use a mouse and keyboard, so it is advisable for all players to use controllers when competing.

- The SteamDeck is a lot like the Wii U Gamepad, only BETTER! Swap Fire has never looked or played better than on this amazing device!

- Steam Input is enabled by default. However, you can disable it if any issues arise (such as inability to play local multiplayer).

Thank you for playing!
