PlatyGuard: Swarm Slayer is a fresh action roguelike now available on Android, developed by ChillyRoom—the studio behind beloved titles like Soul Knight, Meow Hunter, and the recent Inkvasion.

Parry Counter x Action Roguelike

Set in a post-apocalyptic wasteland steeped in biopunk and dark sci-fi, the game plunges you into a world of Hive portals, corporate catastrophes, and grotesque insectoid horrors that have obliterated humanity’s vision of the future.

You take on the role of one of many Platyguards, venturing into the ruins. Choose from over a dozen unique heroes, each with distinct playstyles: some excel at precise parries, others rely on devastating combo attacks, while some favor dodge-and-shoot tactics. Charged strikes, assassination-grade mobility, and specialized mechanics round out the combat depth.

PlatyGuard: Swarm Slayer packs every run with hundreds of skills, items, and explosive synergies—think magic-heavy builds and lightning storms that wipe the screen clean. Everything is viable if you can survive long enough.

Across six vast zones, the wasteland shifts between crumbling shelters and plague-stricken wastelands, featuring diverse hazards and more than 50 enemy types. Elite foes and bosses appear with relentless aggression.

PlatyGuard: Swarm Slayer is a biopunk gauntlet

The developers have prioritized tight, responsive combat that aligns with the core loop: identify weaknesses, dodge, clash, and shatter enemy defenses before delivering the final blow.

The launch includes a small update: Lark’s technique now allows thrown shurikens to parry targets or deflect incoming projectiles. The Prophecy – Build Ban system has been expanded to let you block undesirable builds right from the stage’s starting room. Drone range has also been freed from environmental obstructions.
