Anomaly 2

Like the previous Anomaly games, you control a convoy of military vehicles navigating a city overrun with alien turrets, basically a reverse tower defense where you control the creeps. In addition to choosing the units and giving them a route, you can pause the game and rearrange the unit order at any time, AND new to this game, the vehicles are all transformers and can be switched between two forms with different weapons and powers. There are also nifty new handling features, like if you maintain target lock for an extended time with the hellhound miniguns, their barrel rotation speeds up and increases damage output, which can be a game changer in certain situations. As before, your little avatar can drop area-affect powerups to aid the vehicles when the going gets rough, and his handling is slightly improved over the previous games. Now the negatives. There are 14 missions at 3 levels of difficulty, but sadly this is the kind of campaign that's a long, glorified tutorial drip-feeding new units bit by bit, so you only get a small handful of levels with your full strategic options available. What's worse, the designers REMOVED the skirmish aftergame from the previous titles where…

Same as the first one, just prettier and with more toys. Sadly, the little infantryman is back :/

works on linux, but needs a bit of finagling.

entretenido si te gusta los tower defence, en la linea del primero. me gusta aunque la campa;a es cortita

As a tower defense fan, I found Anomaly enjoyable at first, but it simply can't compete with the many better options available today. The content doesn't justify the price, and it lacks the depth and polish of modern tower defense games. Not recommended.

Over a decade later this game still holds up really well. The studio took all the things that made Anomaly: Warzone Earth fun to play, and took them even further. The soundtrack, voice acting and general storytelling are all way better than in the first game. Transforming units, new abilities, and even multiplayer mode where one player manages their towers and eco to defend a core (this is kind-of what the Anomaly Defenders spin-off game became). The main campaign can be completed in around 6-8 hours. I wish it was longer, but I also respect the team for not dragging things out too long. Every single mission has at least one new mechanic or unique gimmick that keeps you thinking. I feel like they covered pretty much every idea possible in this type of game. Give this a shot. No need to play the first game.
