Description

"Armorines: Project S.W.A.R.M." is a first-person shooter video game developed by Acclaim Studios London and published by Acclaim Entertainment for the Nintendo 64 console in 1999. Set in a futuristic world where Earth is invaded by a hostile alien insect race, players assume the role of Armorines, elite soldiers equipped with powerful exoskeletons. The game allows players to battle through various environments overrun by these alien creatures, using a wide array of weapons to neutralize the swarm and save humanity. Players can choose from multiple characters, each with unique attributes, and utilize different tactical approaches to combat the alien threat in environments ranging from tropical jungles to icy wastelands.

The gameplay in "Armorines: Project S.W.A.R.M." is noted for its cooperative play feature, which allows two players to team up and tackle the campaign together, adding a strategic layer to the game. This was a significant draw at the time, as cooperative play was a popular and sought-after feature in console games. The game also made use of the Nintendo 64’s hardware capabilities to render detailed 3D environments and effects, aiming to immerse players in its intense sci-fi action. Despite mixed reviews from critics, who praised its co-op gameplay but critiqued its graphics and level design, "Armorines" managed to carve out a niche among N64 enthusiasts, remembered for its unique premise and multiplayer experience.
