“奇妙有趣的微观世界!作为一款主打策略、即时战略的游戏,玩法、题材十分的新颖,难度和操作非常亲民。玩累了还能在巢穴闲逛,跟周围的各种昆虫进行互动,收集图鉴,也可以寻找一下食物的踪迹,找到食物上的气味再回去汇报,更可以操作蚂蚁爬上一只蛞蝓的背上,看着蛞蝓带我爬向了远。它并非把其他类似的游戏里人物变成蚂蚁换皮了事,而是全方位的制作出一个蚂蚁的帝国。对于喜欢这类玩法和即时战斗的玩家来说一个绝佳的选择。”

Conquer and upgrade outposts
  • Adapt your strategy by building the right chambers: build your economy, manage your legions, gather Information on the battlefield, gain new Powers, or strengthen your Defense.
  • Not enough space? Conquer other nests to expand your territory and get stronger.
