Anomaly: Warzone Earth
Apr 05, 2018 8 years ago
Anomaly Warzone Earth is an extraordinary mixture of action and strategy in a reversed tower defense formula. The game tasks you with saving a near-future Earth from an alien onslaught. The invaders have captured several of the world’s major cities, building huge turrets that destroy everything in their path. It’s up to you to lead an armor squad through the streets of cities like Baghdad and Tokyo, planning the route and strategically choosing which units to deploy in order to crush the opposition. Take control of the Commander, whose special abilities and quick thinking will be vital in supporting the squad in its mission as you engage in fast-paced, tactical battle across a story-driven campaign and in two heart-pounding Squad Assault Modes. Enjoy innovative game play, mixing action and strategy in a clever twist on the familiar formula--because this time you're attacking the towers. You will need to think both tactically and strategically, choosing the right squad and the best route for each mission. What worked in the last mission might lead you to wrack and ruin in the next one! Extend tactical possibilities by gathering resources to buy new units and upgrade your squad during a battle. The great graphics and audio tie this game up in a neat bundle, and a sure-fire hit with strategy and action fans alike.
What it’s like
Anomaly: Warzone Earth flips the tower defense genre on its head by casting you as the attacker rather than the defender. You command a convoy of armored vehicles through heavily fortified urban landscapes, plotting routes to bypass enemy turrets while engaging in fast-paced, real-time combat. The experience is defined by its high-octane pacing and tactical depth; success relies less on brute force and more on strategic positioning, resource management, and adapting your squad composition to counter specific defensive layouts. Visually, the game offers a polished, vibrant aesthetic with detailed environments that contrast sharply against the chaotic explosions of battle. The audio design complements this intensity, providing a driving soundtrack that matches the urgency of the countdown timers and mission objectives. While the narrative serves primarily as a backdrop for the action, the core appeal lies in the clever mechanics and the satisfaction of outsmarting static defenses through dynamic movement and tactical upgrades.
