Tower "Defense" takes a dramatic back seat. Welcome to the world of tower "Offense" that is Anomaly 2
ges-sa.co.za | "Starting the tutorial was seriously a mind altering experienced firstly we dive straight into a rich and beautifully rendered environment and being an avid tower defense operator since its initial introduction back in the 90's I was expecting the usual build your towers smash the endless hordes of foes under the might of your boot (or click of a mouse) action. No, this perspective changed in a blink of an eye when I was presented with a "What’s this" moment. Thrown into the shoes of a commander I was seen as a small guy running into the hornets’ nest of well-placed alien enemy towers.... How was I to cope with the table turning scenario read on avid gamer to hear more?"
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."
