About this game

Swarm is a platform game where the player controls 50 small blue creatures, called swarmites.

With these swarmites, the player has to collect DNA to safe their race.

When the player controls the swarmites, all 50 are controlled at the same this.

Every swarmite does have its own AI, which causes the interaction to be a lot more dynamic.

For example, walking around an object may cause several swarmites to walk around the other side of the object than the other part.

The title is marked by its dark humor, since the game has a lot of ways the swarmites can die, from falling to their deaths to burning alive.

To complete a mission successfully, at least one swarmite must be alive at the end of the level.

The game does support checkpoints from which the player can restart when all swarmites are dead.

To unlock further levels, a minimum set of points must be obtained.

These points are obtained by collecting the DNA.

Most of the time these DNA can only be obtained when several swarmites are alive.

So it's best to keep as many swarmites alive as possible.

About PlayStation 3

Released in 2006, the PlayStation 3 had a rocky start thanks to its high launch price but became known for its exclusive franchises and Blu-ray drive, which doubled as an early home theater upgrade for many households. PS3 collecting is still relatively young — most titles are inexpensive — but the console's digital PSN storefront closure risk has pushed more collectors toward physical copies specifically to preserve access.

Gamevaro tracks Swarm (2011) for PlayStation 3 with separate market values for loose, complete-in-box (CIB) and factory-sealed copies, sourced from real eBay sales. Prices also vary by region — PAL, NTSC-U and NTSC-J releases of the same game often sell for different amounts due to print run sizes and regional collector demand.

Adding Swarm (2011) to a Gamevaro collection takes seconds — search by title or scan the box barcode, and the app fills in cover art, release details and current pricing automatically. This PS3 release dates back to 2011.

Rarity & condition

Only a handful of market sales have been tracked for Swarm (2011), suggesting it doesn't trade hands very often — a sign of relative scarcity compared to more common PlayStation 3 titles.

Complete-in-box (CIB) copies typically command a premium over loose cartridges/discs because the original box and manual are more fragile and get discarded or damaged over time — fewer complete sets survive.
