Swapmeat is a co-op roguelite third-person shooter where you drop onto a series of increasingly challenging planets and engage in combat with the unfriendly locals, swapping body parts with the alien weirdos you defeat. Attach a wide swath of strange (and usually squishy) heads, legs and torsos to your Meat Scientist suit, gaining powerful abilities to change up your play style on the fly.

Loot defeated enemies for fresh meat to top off your HP and fine-tune your arsenal of abilities as you face down the next wave of weirdos.

In Swapmeat, players step into the boots of Meat Scientists working for the multi-galactic corporation Rangus Meats. Your mission? Raid the weirdest worlds in the cosmos, engage in exhilarating third-person combat, harvest DNA samples from the locals, and extract the planets’ meat cores. Whether solo or with a four-player co-op squad, you’ll battle alien weirdos and beefy bosses for their meaty trophies. As you loot body parts – from heads and legs to torsos – you’ll enhance your character with game-changing abilities, switching up playstyles on the fly using Rangus Meats’ patented Smart Meat technology.

Developer One More Game announced that Swapmeat is now in Steam Early Access.

Join the ranks of Rangus Meats and experience relentless action co-op combat where every kill makes you stronger... and stranger. The Early Access version includes two solar systems (with three planets in each, for a total of six unique planets), up to four-player co-op multiplayer, four main difficulty levels (Easy, Normal, Hard and Nightmare - which has ten additional levels), and a ‘Random Solar Systems’ mode – a replayable experience designed to keep players engaged long after finishing the campaign.

Through Nov. 1, the game will be $19.99 reflecting a 20% discount (regular MSRP $24.99).

Those who purchase the game during Early Access will receive the Swapmeat Founder’s Edition, offering exclusive items before the game's full release. The Founder’s Edition includes one game key, an exclusive set of three in-game cosmetics (a Golden Spatula, "Carl's Golden Antenna Bobber”, and the “Alt-Comedian Mask Head”), access to the "SWAPMEAT: Rare & Questionable Cuts” musical companion, and the ability to preview an upcoming solar system ahead of its official release. The “Rare & Questionable Cuts” concept album can also be purchased separately on Steam for $9.99 and features a collection of 10 ridiculous anthems inspired by the skewed world of Swapmeat.

“We can't wait for even more players to get their hands on Swapmeat and have fun,” said Jamie Stormbreaker, Founder and Game Director at One More Game. “Our meat-swapping mechanic is precisely what makes the game stand out as a one of a kind roguelite co-op third person shooter. This is just the foundation, as we'll continue to experiment with new content and engage with our global community throughout Early Access to refine, balance, and polish as we work toward a full release."

Early Access marks the next step for Swapmeat in One More Game's ongoing Alpha-Driven Development process and represents the culmination of feedback from thousands of global players across several ‘Meat Lab’ playtests spanning two years. This approach has enabled One More Game to collaborate via early and frequent playtesting, listening to and iterating on player feedback in real-time while improving and enhancing the game hand-in-hand with the Swapmeat community. Early Access now opens the doors to an expanded player base where the developers can continue to gather feedback at scale, measure balance, stress test systems, and ultimately lock the game's complete vision, shaped in part by player engagement and input.

Stormbreaker added, “Building Swapmeat through our Alpha-Driven Development approach has truly created a better game experience as we work closely with our community to listen and address their feedback. We are grateful for their support, as that collaboration is at the core of how we make games. Swapmeat reflects our vision and our community’s feedback, which has helped shape every weapon, ability, and system that players will experience.”

Key Features:

• Swapmeat has the deep and rewarding progression you’d expect from a great roguelite. Every time you make it back to the mothership with your meat parts intact, you can upgrade your weapons, your abilities, and even yourself.
• Play solo if you’re in the mood for a single serving, or squad up with 1-4 coworkers, err, friends — SWAPMEAT’s tuned for co-op shootin’ and lootin’! With shared upgrades, strategic teamplay, and brutal boss fights, the chain’s only as strong as its weakest (sausage) link.
• You’re a Meat Scientist for Rangus Meats, a multi-galactic corporation dedicated to discovering the ultimate sustainable meat product to feed the universe…at least that’s what you think…
• This ain't your daddy's third-person action shooter with roguelite elements. In SWAPMEAT, a run doesn't truly end until you take down a gargantuan Beefy Boss, a planet-spanning encounter that challenges your entire team to work together, just like a raid boss in other genres.

Swapmeat is coming to PC/macOS (Steam) in 2026.
