Storyline

Armorines: Project S.W.A.R.M. puts players in the boots of a futuristic marine unit tasked with defending Earth from an onslaught of extraterrestrial, spider‑like creatures. The game’s setting is a near‑future conflict where advanced armor suits give the soldiers a near‑indestructible edge against the alien threat.

Two playable protagonists, Tony Lewis and Myra Lane, each don a distinct Armorine suit equipped with its own specialized load‑out. Their gear reflects the high‑tech nature of the force, allowing them to tackle the spider invaders with a variety of weapons.

These Armorines are described as a highly classified, virtually indestructible fighting force, built to survive even the most devastating nuclear scenarios while wiping out the alien menace that threatens humanity.
