The game is a sequel to critically acclaimed Anomaly Warzone Earth strategy. Maintaining the core elements of the original,
Anomaly 2 adds new features to the single player campaign and finally puts your skills to a test in a completely unique
experience: tower defense vs tower offense dynamic multiplayer mode!

Anomaly 2 takes the RTS tower offense concept from Anomaly Warzone Earth to a new level. The core elements of the original
– tactical planning and the on-field Commander to support troops in combat – are spiced up by a number of important new features:

  • Morph your troops into war mechs to discover the new face of strategy: each unit has a different mech form with various
    abilities to help you overcome specific combat situations.
  • Engage in a multiplayer experience unique to Anomaly 2: tower defense vs. tower offense. Play as the towers and destroy
    the humans or lead the humans to annihilate the alien towers.
  • Fight across a post-apocalyptic world in a new single-player campaign that offers a more intense strategy
    experience than the acclaimed original.
  • Carve your own path to victory and create your ultimate battle squad. With over million tactical combinations to build
    your squad, your options in combat are nearly endless.
  • Dive into a beautifully rendered world, thanks to the team’s upgraded and improved visual engine.
  • Experience alternative endings dependent upon your approach to enemy machines in the campaign.

"Anomaly 2 is a unique experience that turns the Tower Defense genre on its head. Strategy fans shouldn't pass this up."


"Anomaly 2’s campaign feels a lot like the original, but it still offers up plenty of expertly designed strategy thrills with plenty
of replay value. The addition of its innovative competitive asymmetrical multiplayer is the big draw here – as long as everyone
takes the time to learn the complex rules, that is."


"Cheap, beautiful, entertaining, and highly replayable: Anomaly 2 is well worth your money."


"Anomaly 2 builds upon the original in every way, leaving me to wonder if this is as good as the concept of a deconstructed tower
defense game can get. Anomaly 2 is an immediate and exciting strategy game unlike any other, but over time the repetition and lack
of depth leaves something to be desired. It’s a welcome distraction on a phone or tablet, but the limits of the game are quickly noticed
when played in long bursts on PC. For fans of the first that looked past these shortcomings, Anomaly 2 is a bigger, smarter,
and better looking game."

loved the first one. a versus mode is exactly how i would want the devs to expand on the formula.

thanks for making an OT cause too often titles like this get neglected around here.

played this for a bit last night. they really ramped up the production value on this one.

everything looks/sounds so much better. The camera shifts around in really cool ways and the addition of mech transformations adds quite a bit to the depth.

The setting is much more interesting this time around. Seems almost Lost Planet with all the snow, monsters and mechs.

Pretty curious to see how the multiplayer is, if any of you want to squeeze in a match let me know:

Finally beat it, took 6 hours, pretty solid game and felt more polished then no.1

Got no.1 in a indy pack and enjoyed it, so had to support no.2, think the 8/10 reviews are deserved.
