Most of these forms are similar to each other, such as the gatling gun assault unit morphing into a walking mech with flamethrowers. Each unit in Anomaly 2 has an alternate form which is accessed with a double click. Subtle refinements to user interface and unit design make Anomaly 2 a better game, but it’s the addition of alternate roles for units and the vastly improved graphics that make this sequel a noticeable step-up.
The mix of slow paced strategic planning and fast-paced, click-happy action gives Anomaly a unique and engaging ebb-and-flow. Anomaly 2 refines abilities, getting rid of the lackluster mist and bomb drop and adding in an EMP blast and power-up that concentrates fire on a single unit. Directing an EMP blast that temporarily disables a heavy damage tower is as essential to success as a well rounded squad. On the field, Anomaly plays more like an action game as you frantically acquire and apply support to your squad via area-of-effect abilities. You also buy a variety of vehicles that offer defense, support, offense, or produce buffs, like slowing enemies down or temporarily cloaking the squad. Since you are the creeps, not the towers, you can choose different routes and even loop back to the beginning (though there isn’t often a good reason to do this). Off the field, the game most closely resembles tower-defense as you plan actions on a map that displays enemy towers that will meet your troops. The fourteen levels of Anomaly 2 take place from within two viewpoints.

As the name suggests, it’s a strange amalgamation of genres and design that is hard to qualify. Anomaly is all about action, which is what made the original stand out. Waiting for impending doom is boring, but I won’t notice if you give me sun drops or coins to collect. The dividing factor is basically “action” or the lack thereof. I either love or hate tower defense games with very little room between the two extremes. Anomaly 2 is a more complex and difficult game, but it doesn’t fix the faults in the winning formula 11 bit Studios established in 2011. The key difference is that in this game the player has a say in the pace and positioning.Īnomaly 2 builds upon the first entry by accentuating the game’s twitch-based elements and introducing story elements that differentiate missions. It’s not entirely dissimilar to the tower defense genre since Anomaly still revolves around choosing the right units in preparation of foe types to come. The first Anomaly was an unexpected sleeper hit that found a successful formula on flipping tower defense on its head by putting the player in the role of the invader. Don’t let the screenshots fool you: This isn’t the game you think it is.
