The highly anticipated sequel to Anomaly is almost here. For gamers not familiar with the series, Anomaly is a tower defense game with a few added twists. Things have been amped up and some major changes have been applied to Anomaly 2. In fact, the features that gamers wanted in the previous game will finally come to light in this sequel.
Anomaly 2 now includes the ability to transform your units. With this new ability, you can turn normal Assault Hounds into mech dwelling Hell Hounds or Sludge Hammers into Rocket Hammers. This adds an exciting new element to the gameplay.
You can now battle your enemies when caught in close quarters. Granted, the new formations are not always suited for every situation, but they do come in handy when you’re wedged inside small areas.
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."
