Invader Swarm:

In Brief:
Invader Swarm is a vertical scrolling space shooter (shmup) on the lines of the old Space Invaders game. Earn points by destroying the advancing aliens then spend the points on various weapon and armour upgrades.

It was originally given away on the 25th May 2021 last year where it received a 59% positive rating from 17 votes with 14 comments which you can see HERE. Twelve out of twenty one Steam community members give this a thumbs down; you can see their comments HERE

You can see some videos of game play HERE, HERE and via the Steam store page HERE.

Introduction:
Invader Swarm is an old-school hardcore game. You are the pilot of a galactic ship and it's time to destroy hundreds of aliens! There are 40 levels to beat in four locations, with several types of enemy ships, each with different behaviour and weapons. There are 8 bosses to contend. For the destruction of enemies, Each enemy you destroy earns cash which can be spent on different weapons and ammunition as well as the ability to upgrade your warship!

Edited reference accessed HERE ...th 2022.

The Game:
Invader Swarm is a basic space shooter, commonly referred to as a shmup, with an obvious 'hats-off' to the classic Space Invaders game that appeared towards the end of the 70's (I spent a small fortune playing Space Invaders back in the late 1970's, competing with my old school friends to see who could survive the longest. Whoever lost would have to buy the next round of drinks in our local hostelry). I would say, todays giveaway is an improvement on the original concept, with the ability to upgrade your ship and weapons. Plus there are 40 levels to work through. The aim of the game is to survive waves of descending enemy space ships that are invading your planet.

Upgrades are purchased from the shop at the end of a level, but not all are available from the outset, even if you've earned enough in game cash to purchase them. You can buy armour and weapon improvements, with nine armour improvements and fifteen weapon enhancements. Plus you can pick up weapon armour and health boosters as well as cash grabs that randomly drop from the top of the arena.

You can see a health bar to the left of the arena, that indicates the health of your ship. Your ship can take a certain amount of damage and can be repaired by picking up a health booster, or protected from further damage temporarily by picking up a shield booster.

Conclusion:
It's not the best shmup I've played both graphically and game play wise; but it has all the usual elements you'd expect a shmup to have and personally I like the retro looking graphic. The game feels slow at first, but this is how Space Invaders starts. As you progress through a level, certain ships speed up as they descend from the top, especially after destroying a few (reminiscent of the original Space Invaders). Overall I'd give this a thumbs up. I don't agree with a lot of the negative reviews posted over on Steam, especially receiving this for free; that said, even at Steams £1.69 price tag, (basically the price of a single Starbucks coffee latte), I think it's worth it. I'd also go as far as to say, it's an ideal starter shmup for those who are new to the genre as it's relatively easy to survive each wave due to the generous health attributes of the ship.

Notes on Security

I scanned a zipped copy of the installed game using Virus Total and it found zero hits from 59 antimalware engines.

The downloaded executable 'may' include some low level adware that only opens your browser once to Falcoware's home page after the game has installed and also places four shortcuts onto your desktop (which can be safely deleted once the game has installed).

The installation does NOT inject any malware into your system. When your browser is opened to Falcoware's home page following the games installation, it earns Falcoware games some money, part of which is given to the developer of the game for allowing the game to be given away free. Once you've installed the game, there are no more browser redirections. This is because Falcoware removed their installer over a year ago (that installer would show an advert for a game and then open your browser each time you played and then closed the game down.)

We have been given over 340 games since I started to check the freebie section several years ago. But around 60% of those are no longer available free. The following recent freebies have now been removed from the free library: Leisure Suit Larry 2 Looking For Love (In Several Wrong Places), Leisure Suit Larry 1 - In the Land of the Lounge Lizards , Figment, Pixel Puzzles 2: Space, Revolution Ace, Six Sides of the World, Byte Family, Alone on Mars, Garfield Kart, Nostradamus the Last Prophecy, Snowball, Pixel Puzzles 2: Christmas , Die Young (Full version), Distortions, Dino Run DX, Cheap Golf, Kill Em All, Dead Hungry Diner, and Contract with the Devil. If you claimed those while they were still available you can access them via your Indie Gala account under the showcase section. Each page from your free list can take 30 or so seconds to move to the next page; so, if like me you've added most of the free games over the last several years, it can take almost half an hour to get to the last page. I have just over 340 games in my free section. All remaining freebies can be found in the showcase section (113 games are still available). Not all games that go into the showcase remain free and are removed after a short period (e.g. the recent adventure puzzler Figment that costs almost £15 on Steam); so, you should grab them as soon as you can. All titles are DRM free.

This is your last chance to grab a copy of the latest Epic Game, Brothers - A Tale of Two Sons - Guide two brothers on an epic fairy tale journey from visionary Swedish film director, Josef Fares and top-tier developer Starbreeze Studios. This is one journey you will never forget. (This game is also included in the latest Humble Choice bundle as a Steam key - see below for the Humble Choice details). From 4pm UK/11am Eastern Time today we will be getting Cris Tales (an indie love letter to classic JRPGs with a new perspective).

The best Indie Bundles sites that have been operating from around 2011 are the Humble Bundle and Indie Gala sites (though the latter isn't as good as it used to be) where you'll sometimes find decent bundles with over 90% off the usual price of the games included in the bundles. The Humble site is in my opinion the best; though a more recent addition that is worth checking out called Fanatical games looks to be a serious contender for that title as they have some very good bundles. You can find Fanatical games (that used to be called Bundle Stars) HERE.

I've restarted a project I originally started back in 2008 that used to be called Good Games to Grab, where I posted free games over in the forums on a daily basis. I won't be posting them daily this time; only as and when I have time and the inclination. You can find the new forum section entitled 'Free Game Project' HERE. So far, I've posted eight excellent PC games, plus one android game as well as suggested or linked to others similar to the ones posted e.g.

Hidden & Dangerous Deluxe (a squad based solo shooter). Battlegroup 44 (a free-standing mod for Battlefield 2 that is a follow up to the original Battlefield 1942). Slam Tilt (an excellent pinball game with four tables). 3-D Ultra Pinball: Creep Night, (one of my all-time favourite pinball games from the mid 90's). Breakquest (one of my all-time top ten 2D breakouts). Messy Paths (an android game). Castlevania The Lecarde Chronicles (fan made free standing Castelvania game). Conflict Vietnam (third person squad-based shooter). Cabela's Big Game Hunter 2006 Trophy Season (a linear hunting game). Just added Open TTD (Transport Tycoon Deluxe). I'll be adding more over the coming months.

Black And White Apocalypse that was given away some weeks ago by the developer Hammergames is always free and can also be downloaded as a colour version. The community member Space pointed this out at the time. You can find both versions over on itch.io via the following links Black & White version, and Coloured version. :)

You can also find 'all nine' of the developers' games (for free) HERE. Some of them look like they are worth investigating. :)

The latest Humble Choice bundle went live at the beginning of February and includes eight games plus one DLC pack; i.e. Borderlands 3 with the director's cut DLC included, Black Book, Per Aspera, Just Die Already, Before We leave, Paradise Lost, Everhood and Calico. For original Humble Bundle subscribers, the cost is $12/£8.99 with other benefits such as access to a lot of indie titles for free while subscribed and a percentage off other purchases from the Humble store. This increases the longer you keep subscribed up to a year with 20% off all none bundle purchases. (1 month sub' gives 10% off, 3 months sub' gives 15% off and six months sub 'gives 17% off). The next Humble Choice bundle goes live Tuesday 1st March 22.

The latest Humble Bundles include a VR bundle called VR Discovery Bundle (Synth Riders, Blaston, Cook-Out, Panoptic, Trover Saves the Universe, Red Matter and Tower Tag + Soundtrack) that ends on the 11th March 22 and you'll find the first ever Epic Game bundle HERE that includes a good set of AAA and Indie arcade games (Saints Row: The Third Remastered, Kingdoms of Amalur: Re-Reckoning, Mortal Shell, SCARF, The Last Campfire, What the Golf?, Shakedown: Hawaii) that ends on the 24th February 22.

If you are a removed game collector Gods Remastered a classic platformer from the early 90's is being removed from steam on the 27th March. You can swap between the original and the remastered version. You'll find the Steam page HERE

If you have Amazon Prime, the free February games are now available. You can get Stellaris on GOG for free. Visit Prime Gaming for details.

Stay safe everyone.

Whiterabbit-uk, hi.
I would like to inform you that the Steam link to
game collector Gods Remastered is throwing a
404 error .
Maybe you can fix it (if it is fixable) ...

JEDIGEG,

Yes it is the correct page..

I'd copied over the link directly from the original page to the comments. For some reason, when I do it that way, the url address doesn't copy properly. I have to first copy to a word document, then copy it to the comments. This has happened a few times. I've fixed the issue now. Thank you for pointing it out.

Apparently Microsoft though it was a cool way to copy url's, so that instead of seeing the url in all it's glory, it gives it a shortened title that looks readable instead of all the code, but it doesn't work unless you copy the code directly to a Microsoft Edge browser page comments field. I only use Edge to read the news. I use Google Chrome for all other online related stuff.

bobbo,

Hi Bobbo,
It's a false positive. The game is absolutely fine. Check the security scan link I've included at the end of my review. What your security may be picking up is the low level adware that is not installed to your system. It's there to earn the developer and the distributor money for allowing the game to be given away. Basically it opens your browser once the game has installed, nothing more, nothing less. Also the four shortcuts installed to your desktop can be deleted as they are not required to play the game.

Whiterabbit-uk, ==> Thanks. I believe you but Windows won't even let me install the file. As stated: FIRST TIME in 20 years. I post not to complain.......but to let you know. I have gotten the "Warning Unsafe Source' notice from GAOTD fairly often and I have installed those without negative effects AS I WANTED TO DO today: but Windows would not let me with notice of this "Severe Trojan." ........I'll try again and report back if it allows installation..........
