Sequel to Anomaly: Warzone Earth, Anomaly 2 is a real-time strategy tower defense game where players can morph their troops into war mechs to take down enemies and tower defense vs. No matter how you play it, Anomaly 2’s enhancements and new features make it a game well deserving of your time. Play it with others, and a whole new way of experiencing the game becomes available. Play the game alone, and you’ll discover a rich Story Mode with enough challenge and surprises to keep you coming back for more. If Anomaly Warzone Earth was any indication that tower offense games were good, Anomaly 2 confirms that they’re amazing. Still, with four maps to choose from that unlock as you play, multiplayer gives tower defense players what they’ve always wanted, and lets Anomaly fans finally (not) walk in the enemy’s shoes. Because both sides have the same colored health bar, it can get confusing to distinguish yours from the enemy’s, especially when so many towers and units are so close to each other. Both sides can also upgrade their technology levels, opening up access to better units and towers, plus additional stat boosts. While it may seem they have the advantage, humans can quickly gain points just by shooting at towers, which will happen often. Aliens, for example, can build Harvesters that help them generate points and resources, but these structures will be destroyed for big points if left unchecked. Anomaly Warzone: Earth is a self-described tower offense game from 11 Bit Studios and most recently released on XBLA. Regardless of which side you choose, the game provides plenty of abilities and tools at your disposal to make for balanced and fun matches. Noticeably sharp difficulty spike, main game on the short side. Matches start off slow, but they have the potential to get more frenzied so long as both sides take the time to plan things out. Because both sides will be constantly setting up their lines of offense or defense, there’s plenty of opportunity for strategic planning not found in Story Mode. Both sides rack up points based on the number of hits, kills, and structures they build, and when either side reaches 1,000 points, the game is over. While being on the human team feels very much like the single-player game, playing as aliens offers another layer of strategy, as you’ll need to focus on building protective towers to defend your base. Multiplayer will also keep you coming back for more, offering a blend of tower offense and defense gameplay, depending on which side you play for. "Multiplayer will also keep you coming back for more."
