Swordship is set in an unforgiving post-apocalyptic world where the consequences of global warming have forced the vast majority of humanity to take refuge in three gigantic underwater cities. The megacities exchange millions of containers loaded with goods every day while those on the outside scrape what they can together in order to survive. You play as one of the small number of inhabitants prepared to steal those precious containers to deliver vital supplies to those that have been banished to the outside. Select from a number of Swordship variants, each with its own unique active power, offering the opportunity to experiment with a variety of approaches to overcome challenging and dangerous levels. Players can further experiment with their play style by choosing between risking it all and banking stolen containers for massive score boosts, or playing it safe for passive upgrades and extra ships. “We have taken on board lots of helpful player feedback and can’t wait to bring some new content for returning players as well as welcoming new players to this one-of-a-kind dodge ‘em up,” said Game Designer, Sandro Dall’Aglio. “Get back in there, bring your skills and climb to the top of the leaderboard!” For more information, visit the Swordship Steam community page.
