Funguys Swarm

Funguys Swarm

Released Aug 2026

Funguys Swarm is a cartoony survivor bullet hell where the forest is on fire. Become a Funguy, arm yourself with forest-crafted weapons, and unleash some bonkers powers on the Fireking’s army. And maybe... just maybe, save the day if you’re skilled (or lucky) enough.

Evaluation

Funguys Swarm officially launched its version 1.0 release today, August 25, 2026, graduating from Early Access on Steam and simultaneously launching on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch 2, and the Xbox app on PC. The 1.0 update is described as the largest version of the game yet, adding a new final arena, the Forest Strength meta-progression system, new playable characters, Twitch integration, new skills and relics, and at least one secret character that had not been revealed at the time of the announcement. During Early Access, Stairway Games maintained a prolific and consistent update cadence: v0.2 Lava Jungle shipped on October 16, 2025; v0.3 Egglosseum on November 13, 2025; v0.4 Starpath on December 18, 2025; v0.5 New Characters on January 30, 2026; and a major optimization patch on March 12, 2026. Each major update also teased further work in progress — notably, the March 2026 patch notes listed additional arenas and key binding customization as upcoming items, suggesting development momentum going into the 1.0 launch. Because version 1.0 launched today, there is no post-launch track record yet to evaluate whether content development will continue. The developer has not announced the conclusion of content support, but neither have they named specific post-1.0 updates. Given the game's strong development history and the fact that several prior updates teased work still in progress, ongoing post-1.0 support is plausible — but it is simply too early to confirm the pattern will continue.

About this game

Funguys Swarm is a survivor-style roguelite where you play as forest weirdos fighting the Fire King’s flaming minions. Level up, unlock new heroes, pets, skills—even mechas—and rescue creatures to grow your Forest Sanctuary for permanent upgrades. Perfect for both newcomers and seasoned survivors!

Choose from a cast of silly funguys, each with their quirky charm and unique abilities. Whether you like getting up close and personal or prefer to keep things tactical from afar, there’s a funguy for every playstyle.

Face off against never-ending waves of flaming minions, mutated veggies, and things that probably shouldn’t be on fire. The longer you last, the weirder—and wilder—it gets.

Grab upgrades mid-run and stack chaotic, over-the-top powers that turn your goofy forest friend into a full-blown nature-powered menace.

A weapon to surpass the m.... menace of the fire king! Powered by the forest and questionable engineering. It probably shouldn’t work, but it does.

Every now and then, the swarm throws a tantrum and sends in a giant boss. They're huge, unpredictable, and almost always on fire. Oh yeah, did I mention that there's even a bigger baddie at the end of each arena?

Fret not, you have the forest backing you up in the Sanctuary, a place where you can upgrade your powers to be more ridiculous than it is right now... for the right price of course!

Initial early access release includes:

  • 2 Biomes

  • 2 Characters

  • 50 Upgrades

  • 3 weapons

  • and many more we lost count
