Good TD game for casual playing here and there, took 25 hours to beat on all difficulty and to get all tech points. A good game to pickup on sale and play when the internets out or no ones online to play with in other games.
Solid tower defense game. Part of the Anomaly Warzone series but this time we attack humans. Prepare for meteor showers and more chaotic gameplay where you have to repair your towers regularly. Various towers each for a different occasion. Visual side is decent. Soundtrack is great. Recommended obviously, duh.
Steam reviews, mixed to its ratio and rotated daily. Opinions are theirs.
About the game
Anomaly Defenders is the closing installment of the Anomaly series. The original incarnation of the Tower Offense sub-genre had players controlling humans fighting alien invaders. Now, the tables have turned. The human counterattack is underway and the alien homeworld is under threat.
