Our take on Anomaly: Warzone Earth
The store presentation foregrounds the reversed tower-defense concept and fast tactical action, but gives less attention to the game's compact structure: a story campaign accompanied by two additional Squad Assault Modes rather than a broad set of play types.
What is Anomaly: Warzone Earth?
Lead an armored squad through Baghdad, Tokyo, and other near-future cities occupied by aliens.
The game reverses the usual tower-defense structure: the squad attacks fortified positions and large turrets instead of defending them. Missions involve plotting routes, selecting units, and directing the Commander, whose special abilities support the squad during combat. Resources collected during battles can fund additional units and squad upgrades. The game includes a story campaign and two Squad Assault Modes, combining real-time action with tactical decisions. It also supports touch-screen play on Windows 7-compatible PC systems. The setting presents a future Earth under attack, with city streets serving as battlefields for missions against the occupying forces.
