About

You are Squishy, a shape-shifting operative of Rangus Corp. Adapt to your enemies and outmaneuver them by stealing heads, torsos, and legs – each equipped with a unique power-- creating thousands of possible strategic combos. This unique mechanic makes you harder to kill and your gameplay more strategic, no matter what enemy you encounter.
Survive your runs alone or recruit up to three friends to destroy aliens and swap their meat alongside you. With dynamically scaling difficulty, the game gets harder when players join and easier when they leave.
If you’ve ever threatened to break someone’s arm and beat them with it, well, this is that mechanic in action, and the game for you. Every limb and extremity you equip changes your strategy instantly. Rapid adaptation is your key to success. For example, equip Squat Daddy legs to jump and butt-slam enemies, or an Octo Swirl head that shoots in all directions! This upgrade path is unique to SWAPMEAT: evolving strategically mid-combat, stealing abilities and turning them against your enemies. Muahahaha.
SWAPMEAT forces improvisation in a fresh new way: you work with what drops and learn to thrive in unpredictability, while under constant siege by alien weirdos.
Waves of screwball enemies threaten to overwhelm you, but every weapon can be stolen for yourself. Dodge, shoot, and swap your way through escalating chaos while racing against time to complete objectives.
Risk of Rain 2 and co-op shooters like Helldivers 2 inspired our developers, but the speed of core combat harks back to some of our favorite games, such as Quake 3, Serious Sam, and Overwatch. Hark!
Each mission throws new enemies, random events, and unexpected part combinations at you. No two runs are ever the same. Every death teaches you something new.
Bring your research back to HQ and cash it in for weapon unlocks, new perks, and company-approved improvements. Over time, you get more powerful between runs.
Drop into random and bizarre planets, from an urban speedway thick with hungry mutant speedsters to a planetary cookout overrun by hostile aliens. Battle across wackadoodle, vivid landscapes strewn with the ruins of galactic capitalism, ancient tech, and '90's references.
SWAPMEAT offers four different difficulty levels, from Casual to Nightmare.

A fun game with a lot of meat on the bone. The enemies will constantly grill you and sometimes if you're lucky they will drop a rare piece of meat. The beaks and b-holes of the game breaks down to the tried and true game play loop from games such as Risk of Rain 2, but in Swap Meat we also get beefy upgrades to sear the faces off enemies rather than just anemic additions. Yes, this isn't exactly revolutionary as far as game play goes, but I'll be damned if it isn't a load of fun. The story is goofy as hell and who doesn't love a meat based post apocalyptic story of altruism gone wrong?
Yo SWAPMEAT is actually insane. This game lets you run around alien planets blasting weird mutant monsters, then you straight-up rip their body parts off and swap them onto yourself mid-fight. Like legit, I got triple-jump legs and started bouncing around like a maniac, then slapped on a turkey head that yeets grenades everywhere. One time I had a torso that drops turrets while I was running — it was so broken and funny. You can play solo or go with 4-player chaos. Every run feels different ‘cause the meat combos are wild. It's funny, shooting is smooth, levels look cool and it gets harder the deeper you go but in a good way. If you like fast action and stupidly fun stuff, this is it. I’ve been playing way too much and I’m not even sorry. don’t sleep on this one. seeya out there!
Way too overstimulating with way too much stuff going on on screen with very little explanation or direction. I've seen a lot of comparisons to Risk of Rain but the gameplay loop is worse, the progression is drip-fed to the player and the soundtrack is very mediocre. Also I will say the like... hip young "meme" language throughout the game is giving me Borderlands 3 dialogue in terms of how cringey some of it is.
Risk Of Rain 2 on shrooms
All around terrible game. Worst reload system ever conceived, terrible objective design, awful maps, uninspired weapons, the list goes on. The body part swapping was a neat idea, but this whole game was poorly executed.
much depth and hilarious delight around every corner.
Good fun, excellent art direction, and strikes a tone that Borderlands wishes it could. The movement is probably the best thing about the game mechanically. Finding a meat combo that serves your playstyle is oh-so-nice.
BEST GAME IVE GOT in a long time
My boyfriend suggested trying this game together and it is actually so much fun. We spent the whole night playing and im excited to play more when we wake up. There are many different heads, chests and legs and also elements. I already found my favourite items so far. I like that you can play this game in a groupe and can split up to get all the things done. The bosses are amazing aswell. It reminds me a bit of world of warcraft what I like a lot. Also so there is so much detail in the lobby room. First I thoughts there is not much to do and its just a simple game but no. There is so much to unlock, quests to do, items you can get to get better weapons. Figureing out what power ups are the best to choose is also very fun. Overall a very VERY good game. There are tiny little things that has to be fixed like. But that doesnt make the game bad. I would appreciate another way of healing. Like Fleshy Hearts as healing orbs or so. Or a power up to click that gives life steal. It doesnt have to be much more but the healing stations are simply not enough. Especially since you also can play meele and then you take lots of damage. Will definetly keep playing this game
Pretty good, similar to Risk of Rain but with extra meat
