<< PREV Anomaly: Warzone NEXT >>
Anomaly: Warzone Earth and its sequel Anomaly 2 are among the most impressive ports of PC games for mobile devices. This is made more noteworthy when you re member that the first of them was done at a time when high-quality ports of relatively recent PC games were nearly unheard of on Android.
In a reversal of the popular tower defense formula, the anomaly games put you in charge of a small group of armored vehicles as they fight their way through a conflict of hostile static defenses. Along the way, you chart your platoon’s course through the stage, decide which vehicles to upgrade or add to your force with the strictly limited resources available, and choose when and where to deploy vital special abilities like repairs, decoys, and airstrikes. Anomaly 2 adds the additional factor of transforming vehicles that can switch between different modes and weapons for different situations as you see fit.
The port does a very impressive job of bringing the graphics and audio of the PC originals to mobile devices. There’s a tremendous visceral satisfaction in the way enemy defenses blow apart in the games that wouldn’t be the same without the sights and sounds of the originals, so that’s a very good thing indeed. The Anomaly games also translate readily to touchscreen controls,, luckily. If you’re interested in a sort of light real-time strategy/reverse tower defense game with lots of stuff blowing up real good, check Anomaly out.
