1/31/2024 0 Comments Anomaly 2 ui design![]() ![]() None of the levels are bad, but none of them are especially inventive or original. Which is thankful, because the levels do have a tendency to blur into one big tower defence-y mush. It gives the game a degree of pre-match strategy which can make the individual levels more interesting. The sense of development is on point you’ll always feel as though you’re one step ahead of the humans, even on the trickier levels, and that free-form approach means you can adapt your set of skills for each mission. You can use it to unlock and improve towers, upgrade tower abilities and access general stat boosts such as cheaper towers or improved health. It’s a free-form tree with which you can allocate and reallocate points at will. The technology tree is the slightly more unique aspect of Anomaly Defenders. This is certainly one of the best looking tower defence titles out there. The animations have also been transferred over the only visual difference is the alien home-world setting, a vibrant land which strikes an amusing balance between retro 1980s alien and modern designs. All of the in-game towers and human vehicles are taken from the standard games, which will be pleasantly familiar for series fans, although it’s a shame 11 bit studios didn’t include a few new varieties to pick and see. The overall feel and presentation is still classic Anomaly, all shiny robotic aliens and cheesy sci-fi mecha-tanks. However, with three difficulty levels available there’s something for every standard of player. The UI is pretty intuitive, so even tower defence newbies will sink into the gameplay process quickly. It’s all the help you’ll get before you’re thrown into the combat zone. The game begins rather abruptly: you’re given a very short introduction and told to defend the launch ships from the human attackers. Plus an accessible and understandable tech-tree keeps the game interesting throughout. There are 24 levels to get to grips with, each offering a slightly new challenge. If you’ve got the right mindset, however, or if you’re a big tower defence fan looking for a quick fix, then this is a good little game worthy of your attention. It’s a tower defence game in every sense of the term, so those looking for the same genre-twisting fun of the first games will be severely disappointed from the off. So this new Anomaly isn’t about commanding a convoy of vehicles through an alien tower infested Earth, this time it’s those very alien towers that you must control as the humans launch an attack on their home planet. Or an Assassin’s Creed game in which you couldn’t run - at all. One might compare this new direction to a Battlefield game which limited players to 4v4 fights over tiny maps. It removes the tower offence unique selling point of the original two Anomaly games and leaves players with a familiar, albeit fun, tower defence game.
