GamesRadar - Build towers and hope they're strong enough to keep enemy hordes at bay. That’s the gist of a tower defense game, and when 11 Bit Studios released Anomaly Warzone Earth back in 2011, it turned the genre upside down. Instead of building up towers, you were knocking them down. Continuing this tower offense format, Anomaly 2 looks familiar but expands on what made the first one so much fun to play. New units, morphing abilities, and the addition of an asymmetrical multiplayer mode are just some of the reasons why Anomaly 2 is an impressive sequel.
gamrReview's Brent Galietti: "Strategy and Simulation games suck us into their worlds by putting our minds to work. We predict all the possible moves we can make and how the enemy can respond. Or we try to make our dreams come true in a virtual world that is tailor made to reward us for expressing our freedom. Whichever way they do it, these games keep our brains in the game, and that's true of this year's nominees."
Game review of the tower offence game Anomaly 2. It's an interesting take on strategic defence, but does it hold up in comparison with its predecessor and competitors?
From the review: "It's all about the multiplayer this time around in the Anomaly franchise. Anomaly 2's singleplayer portion is basically identical to the first game, so if that was your jam, then by all means, go weapons free. If it wasn't your jam, then maybe the multiplayer will keep you interested. Either way, there are fun and interesting gameplay ideas hidden away in Anomaly 2 that can keep you busy over a boring weekend."
