Sadly, the voice acting is rather naff on the whole, with a couple accents verging on a stereotype level that is a touch more than is really comfortable, and not aided at all by what is some pretty mundane writing throughout.Īs you progress through the story you’ll slowly be introduced to additional forces for your squad, and so while you’ll start with APCs and Crawlers, you’ll soon be able to bolster your forces with tanks and units that fire plasma on multiple targets and vehicles that provide suit upgrades or shield nearby units for extra protection. In addition, there’s a plot point that comes up halfway through the story that’s totally ignored until you’ve finished the final level, yet fails to surprise or shock in any manner.
The game tells you that the ‘comet’ destroyed several major cities around the world, but you’ll only find yourself visiting two throughout the campaign, and you visit one of those cities twice. Anomaly: Warzone Earth is a tower defence game, but not in the way you think, because you’re the one attacking the towers, not defending them.Īnyone expecting a similar kind of twist to the story will come away feeling disappointed as there’s no real complexity to it whatsoever. Hold on a second… you have to take various fixed paths through a level whilst protecting your units from turrets and traps? And then it hits you. Wait, aliens? I fear I’ve got ahead of myself here so allow me to explain: once you’ve passed through the anomaly you discover that it wasn’t a comet that killed everyone inside those major cities, but vastly technologically superior aliens that appear entirely in the form of various turrets attempting to block you from your objectives.

Your commander, however, is free to move across the map as he wishes, which allows him to pick up and use various suit abilities in whatever way you see fit, though as he can’t actually fire on any of the enemies himself – your role in the game is a far more non-violent one as you simply have to protect your squad as they take on those pesky aliens.

There are a series of fixed paths throughout each mission that your squad will rigidly adhere to, with your control over their movement limited to where they’ll turn at each crossroad and what order they’ll move through the terrain. The tutorial level begins with you about to head into an anomaly and it’s here that the game slowly eases you into the mechanics you’ll have to swap the order of units about to form a more strategically viable lineup, activate suit commands to protect your units, and be constantly changing your path through the level to get through in one piece. A week later, the commander of the 14th Platoon leads a squad to investigate what’s going on inside the anomalies and this when you come in. Oddly, instead of wiping out the cities entirely, the comet fragments have instead caused giant forcefields – or anomalies – to appear. Bought to us by 11bit Studios, the game begins in 2018 after what appears to be a comet crashes to Earth and destroys several major cities, causing ‘Day Zero’. It seems like it was only recently that I was contemplating why so many games find themselves obsessed with the idea of the apocalypse, and once again we find ourselves at the end of the world as we know it, thanks to Anomaly: Warzone Earth.
