In addition to the aforementioned, the commander can aid the party with power-up abilities only he can use. Tactical View lets you plan ahead before engaging the enemy. So it’s best not to take it head-on and attack it where it can’t hit you. Its thermal laser can cut through armor easily, though it cannot rotate. As every unit in your arsenal has its ups and downs, so does the enemy. Constantly changing the plotted course of your convoy is an essential strategy to keep in mind, because if all your units are destroyed, it’s game over. By pressing the triangle button, the game pauses and you are given a full overview of the entire map. You cannot directly control the units in your platoon, so you’ll have to dictate which paths they should take via Tactical View. So the more enemies and combos you can rack up (judging by how frequently you kill enemies), the more points you accumulate for your global score in the game’s online leaderboards.Īs the commander, you give the orders and have the most freedom of movement on the battlefield. The number of enemies you destroy in each level also factors into your overall score. It’s a highly convenient gameplay element, as it eliminates most, if not all tedium and minor annoyances should you decide to destroy and collect everything (which I totally did). Another good thing about Anomaly is you can speed up time to move things more quickly than usual. One plus side about all this is most levels don’t have a time limit, so you can usually take the completionist route, killing every enemy and scrounging up all the Carusaurum you can find before exiting an area. Collecting the alien substance called Carusaurum scattered throughout the map awards cash as well.

There are more units to unlock as you progress through the campaign, so I won’t delve too deep into it.īut I'll go on ahead and show you a picture of the units anyway. The APC tank has low attack and mostly serves as a meat shield, the Crawler has poor defense but packs a wallop with its rocket launchers, and the Shield generates a force field, giving surrounding units (two to be exact) extra protection. Like any tower defense game, each unit has its uses, strengths, and weaknesses. At the center of all this mayhem is you, the commander of the "14 th Platoon" sent to investigate these anomalies and gather as much information on the extraterrestrial threat as possible. Anomaly is set in the not-so-distant future, where remnants of an alien ship have crash landed and devastated major cities around the world, notably Baghdad and Tokyo. Anomaly: Warzone Earth is a ‘tower offense’ game, which plays much like a tower defense game only in reverse you attack while the enemy defends.
