Launch Window

Night Swarm delivers fast-paced roguelite combat with strong visual identity and engaging build crafting, but uneven balance and progression pacing hold it back from lasting greatness.

Night Swarm is a Vampire Survivor clone that keeps the fangs in tack. Embody a man who is fighting for his right to sit on his throne as his fellow vampires try to kill him. The story is fed to you bit by bit as you complete runs in this roguelike, seeming to imitate the feeling of Hades. Roam the castle you live in to find several mechanics to use and upgrade, and then drop into a run of monster-infested torment.

Early Review

Night Swarm earns an 8.0 for blending razor‑sharp roguelite systems with a charismatic, living hub. Its combat loop is tense and skillful, companions and Totems create compelling build variety, and biome mechanics add real tactical weight. Small polish and pacing issues, plus a handful of QoL and difficulty options still needed, keep it from a higher score; but what’s here is confident, fun, and full of potential.
