Tower-defense games typically ask players to defend an objective from relentless waves of enemies by strategically placing turrets and other assets to keep the little (and big) buggers out. (Yep, that’s you.) There’s more than one race of green men out there, developing the story further.Īt its core, Anomaly is a strategy tower defense game in reverse, with enough cowbell to make Christopher Walken happy. This crash creates (you guessed it) an anomaly of titanic proportions, and it’s the 14th Platoon’s job to investigate. The year is 2018, and Earth’s been hit by a large comet, which us poor meatbags come to realize is actually the remains of an alien spacecraft. The story is simple and clichéd, but the delivery makes it interesting, and the presentation creates a sense of tension. The clip ends with a glance at a robot that looks not unlike a Cylon, with the perpetually evil red eye-and boom, the main menu shows up, and you’re hyped up and ready to go. It sets the tone perfectly, showing a rear view of your character with what appears to be a Crysis-esque suit and then of the convoy you’ll be leading onward to glory. The pre-rendered intro is well-edited and shows off some great sound work. Everything regarding the production values screams AAA more than bargain bin.ĭespite the suit, this is neither an FPS nor a Crysis clone The first thing that hit me was how slick the intro is. (Quick disclaimer here: I love indie games, but the signal-to-noise ratio isn’t as good now as it was a year ago). You’d think a small team would create one of those artsy but ultimately unfulfilling titles, with low production values and simplistic gameplay.

Two, the game creates a great movie atmosphere with simple-but-effective '2.5D' graphics, minimal CGI, and really good voiceovers.

One, it turns the tower-defense genre on its head and puts more spin on it than a pro soccer player performing a free kick. It’s the proverbial ice cream truck in the middle of the desert for two reasons. Sigh, there’s no appreciation for creativity these days.Ĭreativity, my friends, is what makes Anomaly: Warzone Earth so tantalizingly refreshing. What’s that? Cut out the B-movie crap? Okay, fine, whatever. They were waiting for me at every corner, red eyes in the darkness, flashing at me.
