Overview
Description

Alien Swarm drops you and up to three friends into a hostile off‑world colony, forcing you to coordinate tactics and choose from four distinct marine classes. The free‑to‑play title blends intense shooter action with squad‑level strategy as you clear icy surfaces and lava‑filled mines of relentless alien threats. Beyond the core campaign, the game includes the full Source SDK code, offering developers access to a 3rd‑person camera, depth of field, dynamic shadows, and numerous gameplay enhancements for modding and custom content creation.

Trapped on a derelict space station, you and a friend must share bizarre British farming secrets while fending off relentless waves of killer robots. Grab gadgets, wield an Energy Shotgun and a Pie‑O‑Matic, and solve quirky puzzles to escape the alien madness. Space Farmers delivers a frantic, laugh‑filled co‑op adventure that blends shooter action with brain‑teasing challenges, all wrapped in a quirky sci‑fi indie package perfect for split‑screen play.
