Will you survive this time? A time when we no longer walk this planet as its rulers but as hunted creatures, is a future that is being made a reality by 11 Bit Studios with Anomaly 2, the freshly revealed sequel to Anomaly: Warzone Earth.

In the years following the invasion of Earth in 2018, the planet is overrun by alien machines.

 

 

Humankind is on the verge of extinction. Banded together in huge convoys, they search the frozen tundra for food and supplies. Since the war, the roles have been reversed: now our species seems to be the Anomaly on a machine-controlled planet. Your convoy, Commander, is called Yukon.

 

Anomaly 2 is a real-time strategy game that takes the tower offense concept from Anomaly Warzone Earth to a new level. Maintaining the core concepts of the original – tactical planning and the on-field Commander to support troops in combat – Anomaly 2 introduces a number of important new features:

 

 

- 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 a million tactical combinations to build your squad, your options in combat are nearly endless.

 

 

- 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

 

 

- Experience alternative endings dependent upon your approach to enemy machines in the campaign.

 

 

- 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.

 

 

- Dive into a beautifully rendered world, thanks to the team's new and improved visual engine

 

 

 

You are destined to become the glitch in the system, as the fight is about to begin, in the second Quarter of the year.

Here’s the thematic concept: Earth got itself invaded by aliens, which look like giant metal snakes, giant metal crabs, giant metal spiders and other giant metal animals-that-people-don’t-like-much. For Reasons, these aliens are rooted to the spot, becoming deadly, laser-spewing sentinels which guard the city streets and nobble any human life which passes. You are Ian Military or someone, in charge of a small rebel army, scouring the ruins for gizmos and doohickeys with which to beat the invaders. It looks very shiny, high-tech and explodey, in its desaturated way.
