About the Game

Hold against the swarm. Every run drops you into new terrain. Gather resources, shape your base, and survive the onslaught.

Every builder plays different. Each brings its own kit: 7 structures, 7 abilities, and its own blueprint draft pool. The Architect commands an arsenal of towers. The Pyro breathes fire and takes the swarm head on. Shelly holds it down with fortified defenses. The Cryo controls the field with ice.

Blueprints shape every run. The drafts you pick mid-run evolve your build. The same builder can specialize into different structures and abilities from one run to the next.

The swarm never lets up. The horde hits harder every minute, without a moment of quiet in between

Solo or 4-player co-op. Face the swarm alone or bring up to three friends to hold the line together.

New lands, new enemies. Each biome brings its own enemies, events, and challenges.

Unlock and upgrade. New builders, biomes, and blueprints unlock as you hit milestones. Cogs earned in runs fund permanent Workshop upgrades.
