Interesting as a concept in the Anomaly series, but not that interesting on its own.

ive been trying to get into tower defense games again: this game is everything i was looking for and more. not only is it different than most tower defense games, but it teaches you things you might not ever otherwise think of. i never even conisdered 'tower macro' could be a thing, and now i know two seperate ways to impelment it without ever having to be told. hard mode is perfectly balenced, and every time i thought the game was about to be unfair, unfun or incomprehensible, i was emphatically proven wrong. if you have trouble with tower defense games: play this game if you like tower defense games: play this game if you like games in general: you wont be disappointed

Fun and tough (at higher difficulty) tower defense in the Anomaly universe. Decent tower variety and playing maps again is interesting as the map itself changes as well as increasing difficulty of enemies. Higher difficulties definitely require a extensive strategy and micromanagement of the special abilities, but make winning all the more worth it. Recommended!

Loosely based in the Anomaly Warzone Earth universe from the other two games, this one is a more traditional tower defense game, rather than squad-based tower offense which made the others unique. Apparently it was originally made for iPad, which is why the advisor talks about tapping on things rather than clicking on them, and also explains the lack of keyboard support for anything. You may get a little RSI from dragging around the battlefield and rapid-firing through menus for a few hours. Despite that, it's a solid strategy game with a resource-based economy (both from kills and from harvesting). Unlike other TD games that sometimes provide extra commander abilities to be used on a specific location, often with cooldowns, the abilities in this one always involve the towers themselves, and the energy is something you manage by collecting energy balls from destroyed units, with varying amounts based on the unit type and veterancy level. Balancing energy economy becomes crucial later in the game. Beating the whole game on Hard was a challenge, but nothing too bad for anybody who pays attention to each tower and enemy unit's strengths and weaknesses. Also, the soundtrack is kick-ass. I wish it was longer. I say give it a try!
