Игра "Formicide" — необычный симулятор управления муравейником с элементами стратегии. Главное — выращивать и контролировать колонию, бороться с врагами и развивать территорию. Графика минималистичная, но атмосферная, а геймплей требует стратегического мышления. Однако механика управления может показаться сложной для новичков, а сюжетная линия минимальна. Забавно и увлекательно, но не для всех.
