What is Anomaly: Warzone Earth?

This top-down action-strategy game takes place in near-future cities occupied by alien forces. Across a story campaign and two Squad Assault modes, you plan an armored convoy's route, choose and upgrade its units, and use commander abilities to help it survive enemy turrets.

For you if...

+you like planning routes through hostile city streets
+you enjoy upgrading a small squad during battles
+you want challenging missions beyond the story campaign

Not for you if...

−you would rather place towers than guide a convoy
−you want direct control over your squad's attacks
−you dislike frequent support ability use during combat

What players say

87% of 4,693 reviews are positive

Players praise the attacking-side take on tower defense and the route-planning choices. Some say later missions become repetitive or demand frantic ability use; others find the convoy's slow pace and limited direct control frustrating.
