After 15 hours, all achievements unlocked, I can say Swarm Grinder is at its best when it fully leans into chaotic, high-tempo builds.
Combat
Players who bring up Combat mostly praise it.
9 of 82 sampled reviews raised it
Which is a shame, because when the game actually behaves, it’s a great, bloody little roguelike with solid combat flow and a constant feeling of pressure from the swarm.
