DG: I must say that for the first half of the year, Anomaly: Warzone Earth was among my favorite Android games. It had a unique gameplay mechanic, and was simple enough to grasp for a strategy game newbie yet challenging at the same time. Now, the guys at 11 Bit Studios are back with Anomaly Korea. How does this sequel stack up against the high standards set by its predecessors?
From the visual extravaganzas that make my PC’s graphics card keel over wheezing for air to games that are mostly played via spreadsheets, from games with simple mechanics involving no more information than what is immediately available to those with long lists of arcane stats spread across myriad menus and submenus and sub-submenus, from the simplest tower defense titles to ferociously complex and intricate games that threaten to make the uninitiated user’s head explode in a Scanners-esque fountain of blood and offal, strategy games come in countless forms. This list is intended to focus on games that lean towards the latter end of at least one of those spectra – the complex, the detailed, the rewarding but plain-looking. Some still have more widespread mass appeal, some don’t, but if you’re a hardcore fan of strategy or management sim games looking for something to play on Android they’re worth at least a look.
The games for this week's Humble Sale have been announced, this time coming from the portfolio of 11 Bit Studios.
Remember Humble Bundle, those nice folks that give great titles from Indie companies to us gamers for a cheap price, but also giving it to charity at the same time? Well, they finally announced another weekly bundle sale. This time being from 11 Bit Studios, those folks that created the enjoyable tower defense vs. tower offense franchise known as Anomaly.
Why do you say that? I feel it's pretty good in my opinion; but then again, I'm a huge fan of Anomaly, or technically strategy titles in general.
