In Anomaly: Warzone Earth Baghdad and Tokyo are taken from wreckage of an alien spaceship. To the fragments are anomalies in which sprout from the ground turrets.
Instead of setting up defense lines for incoming crawler, you are the forces that must survive the gauntlet. The aliens have many different weapons with countless strengths and weaknesses, so that survival depends on your ability to get around (and out-think) these alien cutthroat.
Your convoy is does the damage, but you're down there frantically trying to keep it alive. You run around on foot to scout ahead, distract enemy turrets, and deploy weapons power-ups to keep them safe.
Additionally, you can bring up a tactical map screen at any point to adjust the travel route of your convoy on the fly or scope out the action ahead to concoct an battle plan.
Whatever route you end up with, it is inevitably littered with various types of enemy towers, each with different types of attacks, Planning or changing routes (enemy actions will often disrupt your carefully plotted strategy) is as simple as toggling directional arrows at each intersection through the available options by clicking on them.
There are a lot of strategic flexibility as you choose in most missions, deck out your convoy. A mixture of tanks, armored personnel carriers, missile launching robots, drones shield generator and other special vehicles can be purchased and upgraded. Another subtle balancing act that you, in your capacity as commander, you have to deal with is the decision between choosing the safest route or the most lucrative.
Anomaly can be very challenging on the "normal" difficult, even for experienced strategy players. They are found again from a checkpoint rather often in the later missions.
Anomaly: Warzone Earth even more exciting. It's surprising how much of a difference a few simple tweaks can make toward revitalizing a genre that has long grown stale for some players. For the price, Anomaly: Warzone Earth offers a fresh and exhilaratingly fun strategy experience that only few titles can match.
Score: 77 / 100
