help Alien Swarm FAQ
How many players can play Alien Swarm cooperatively?
Alien Swarm is built around four-player online cooperative combat. Each player chooses one of four classes, so the squad must balance weapons, healing, engineering, and special abilities.
Was Alien Swarm originally a mod?
Yes. The game grew from a total-conversion mod created for Unreal Tournament 2004 by the team that later joined Valve. Valve released Alien Swarm as a free PC game on Steam in 2010.
What type of shooter is Alien Swarm?
It is a top-down squad shooter rather than a first-person game. Players fight through missions against waves of aliens while managing ammunition, class roles, doors, objectives, and emergency defenses.
What is the difference between Alien Swarm and Alien Swarm: Reactive Drop?
Alien Swarm: Reactive Drop is a later community-developed expansion of the same four-player top-down formula. The original Alien Swarm is Valve's free 2010 release and provides the base campaign and mechanics.
