The Shield unit can project a protective bubble on the units directly in front and behind it, for some extra defense. The Crawler has a very strong dual-missile attack, but is slow and weaker when on defense. For example, the APC is heavily armored, but weak at attacking. The battlefield can change dynamically mid-mission, but players can enter tactical view at any time (which pauses the action) and re-plan their attack route.Īrranging the different types of units in a convoy is also an important strategic consideration. With the exception of a couple of missions with pre-selected loadouts, players begin by purchasing up to six different units for their team from a limited cash pool, and plotting the initial route through the map. You are in charge of leading a convoy into the anomaly, discovering what's going on, assessing the situation, and going from there.Įach of the game's missions begins with a tactical view of the map, which displays all of the routes, intersections, and enemy placement. No one can see in it, to see what's going on underneath. A protective dome goes up around the ship, almost immediately. Until an alien spaceship crashes in the middle of Baghdad. Despite the reminders that the builds I saw were in-progress, everything already looked like it was coming together quite nicely for its planned digital release in 2011.Īccording to 11Bit, Anomaly's plot is a simple one:
Not long ago, 11Bit stopped by the Shacknews offices to show us how Anomaly is shaping up on PC, iPad, and iPhone. You'll be defending your convoy (basically a mobile base) while attacking enemy turrets and vehicles in your path. Instead of placing turrets to defend against waves of attackers, the player assumes the role of antagonist, guiding a convoy of various units through the field of battle. Indie developer 11Bit Studios upcoming game, Anomaly: Warzone Earth, flips the tower-defense gameplay on its head.
A sea of hits and misses followed that attempted to harness the addictive gameplay formula pioneered by the original. Ever since the release of Desktop Tower Defense, scads of tower-defense games have been produced by a ton of developers.
