Gi - Anomaly 2 is a real-time strategy game for the PC (Windows, Mac and Linux). The game utilizes the popular tower defense sub-genre and turns it on its head by putting players in control of the moving units, while the computer controls the towers. 11 bit studios developed and published the title. The studio’s prior work includes several iOS mobile titles such as Funky Smugglers and Sleepwalker’s Journey, as well as the Anomaly series. Anomaly 2 is a sequel to the refreshingly good Anomaly: Warzone Earth and the side-quel Anomaly: Korea. Its predecessor Anomaly: Warzone Earth was wildly popular receiving many awards and honors, and spanning several ports from PC to mobile to PS3 and Xbox 360. Can Anomaly 2 recapture the magic of the original or has the good will for the concept dried up?
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."
