Anomaly 2 is the sequel to the innovative 2011 Anomaly: Warzone Earth. It’s a reverse tower defense game or tower offense in which you protect the attackers and destroy the towers. The premise of the game is simple – alien machines have invaded and Earth is in ruins. You are the only hope to reach the titular anomaly and destroy them. Regrettably, Anomaly 2 has more story exposition than its predecessor which wouldn’t be a bad thing if it wasn’t very poorly written and voice acted. You have all sorts of terrible cliches including hillbilly marines, an elderly German scientist and a younger female doctor all with equally horrible accents. At least you can skip all the cutscenes.
Anomaly 2 is all about the gameplay and that’s where it shines. The player takes over the role of the Commander unit which is tasked to protect and guide the military unit convoy. You can choose your route on the fly and you can buy, sell and upgrade units at any time. The novelty in Anomaly 2 that provides a pretty big twist is that you can morph any of your units to suit the challenges of the current battlefield. For example, the armored vehicle with a long range gatling gun morphs into a robot with devastating short range flamethrowers. The morph mechanic does a great job at keeping you on your toes as different situations require different tactics.
Your convoy can only consist of up to six vehicles and you only have five unit types (ten if you count the morph ability). The enemy towers are more varied than that. Apart from the low level towers, there are also big boss towers which deal great amounts of damage, predator towers which only appear as you’re already passing through, hacker towers that form a disruption field in which your units will attack your Commander unit and so on. As the Commander, you have four different abilities – repair units, launch a decoy, target a selected enemy and disable enemy tower. All of these enemy towers and the morph and Commander abilities come together to create a a very dynamic and at times extremely intense experience.
The campaign goes on for 14 missions across a slightly disappointing variety of environments. The first half of the game takes you across a frozen United States mid-west and New York City whereas the other half you’ll be fighting through the jungles of South America and Rio de Janeiro. Even though each mission is different enough, it all kind of boils down to snow levels and jungle levels. It also feels too short, the game only starts to really get going and then pretty soon after that it’s over.
The graphics are great, both the friendly and enemy unit designs looks really good, the weather effects and the explosions look awesome. The soundtrack doesn’t really stand out, but the sound effects really heighten the intensity of the carnage even further.
Anomaly 2 successfully manages to carve out its own place in a rather saturated genre thanks to its new ideas and interesting tactical gameplay mechanics.

This game claims to work on Linux / Steam Play, but it simply doesn't. Once you get passed the intro video, the game crashes. This has been true for several years now, but few are failing to report it. Either create a patch for Linux so that it works or take down the Linux / Steam Play compatibility claim.Show moreShow less

☺ A role reverse of Tower Defence done very well.
☺ Intense gameplay.
☺ Good visuals.
☹ Feels more like an expansion than a sequel.
☹ Limited tactics.
(NOTE: This Review only takes into consideration the Single Player Campaign).
Anomaly 2 see's you take up the role of a commander, who's squad are wrapped in a struggle against an infestation of machine towers who's only goal is to destroy all which enters their firing range.
Anomaly proved you could make a great game by switching the roles of Tower Defence, forcing you to be in command of the troops rather than the towers and making strategic choices of what your squad is composed of, how and when to assist that squad during battle and the route you shall take to your objectives. Anomaly 2 goes a step further by giving your squad the ability to transform on the fly, expanding your options at any given time and also throws in a few more enemy towers.
The gameplay can be quite frantic as you manage your abilities in the heat of battle and scoop up additional abilities from destroyed towers, you can also pause the action to assign a new route for your troops or change the order your squad is currently in at anytime.
On a normal play through, I quickly found a squad set up that worked and while the transformations are useful at times (switching a front arc fire cannon to 360 degree missile fire for instance), I could largely switch to the preferred role and leave them be.
Anomaly 2 doesn't really do anything the original didn't already do. In fact, I preferred the original over this game (both the story and gameplay balance). Anomaly 2 feels more like an expansion than a sequel in many ways and as such, I wouldn't recommend the game unless you've got and enjoyed the original Anomaly: Warzone Earth and fancy more of the same - but I'd stress the original Anomaly is indeed recommended!Show moreShow less

The SP is fine but 14 Missions are done very fast. Nice little story and a little better and more details look of the end of the world trough USA to south amercian and then antarctica and 2 short different endings. The MP is dead. Nice idea the balance is okay but after short time its get boring. The SP becomes 7.5 points.Show moreShow less

This sequel lacks the same balance/pacing the previous one had, unfortunately. It is more frustrating than fun, and the interesting design decisions (morphing units) are lost under the frustrating ones (mostly new tower designs that require very quick response times or just seem flat-out unfair). Also, most of the things the units say are really annoying, and they say them A LOT. You can't disable the unit speech without also muting the cut scenes, either.
I have not tried the multiplayer, so I can't speak to that. The game looks good graphically, but I just don't want to keep going with it.Show moreShow less

A nice sequel to Anomaly Warzone game.
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1475534547
The game has the same gameplay as the original game. You read about it here:
https://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561198263427469/recommended/91200/
Aliens eliminated most of human in 2018, so now in 2034 a bunch of survivors move from 1 destroyed town to another seeking a way to push aliens back. You are an officer who has a task to return files of project Shockwave, the only thing which can destroy aliens.
So, there are 14 missions in the story. You start with a few vehicles and need to plan your way to complete tasks. Most of the time you need to reach certain points on the map or destroy a several towers.
The sequel brings new mechanics. Each unit has 2 modes, for example, the hammer unit is a long distance artillery, but it can shoot only forward. You can transform it to rocket machine which has 360 radius of fire, but has less range and less health.
If you just used abilities in the original game, in this game you need constantly transform units, using abilities, change route.
In overall, the gameplay is very active, you make things every second. If you like games like this you should definetley try this game. P.s. Strategy included.
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1475534689
Pros
- A good addition to tower attack mechanics. Every attacking unit has 2 modes which can be useful in different situations. Playing the game you need to constancy to change modes
- Battle combat has very addictive gameplay. There is no time where you can do nothing.
- Good cinematic, voice acting
Cons
- First 3 levels are kinda boring even on Hardcore difficulty

Resume
A well done sequel of Anomaly Warzone. Basically, the game offers nothing new except transformation mechanics and new attack units (all towers and abilities are the same), but it plays very good. The combat is very active and you could not have time when you have nothing to do. I am not sure about a price tag, but if you will get it with 66% it would be a great deal. I can recommend this gameShow moreShow less

In a land of code and virtual domain,
Anomaly stands, with boredom as its reign.
A tower defense, but in reverse,
A game where excitement seems to disperse.
Clicking troops in a monotonous spree,
In this world where thrill just cannot be.
Double-click, repeat, a mindless chore,
In a game where excitement's truly poor.
Boring and bland, its colors fade,
In the gaming world, where it's dismayed.
Anomaly, a title devoid of glee,
In its lackluster realm, no adventure to see.
Boring and bland, its essence is clear,
A game of tedium, drawing no cheer.
Discounted or not, its value is small,
Avoid it altogether, don't buy it at all.

Anomaly follows up the story of Anomaly Warzone Earth. Earth's been invaded by aliens, you're going to lead a bunch of vehicles to blow up towers. If one has ever played custom maps of Tower Defence in Warcraft 3 or what me not, you'll find it pretty similar.
http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=294231543
Except this time, you're on the attacking side.
Units can morph about, giving more depth in the strategy used to blow up the towers. For example, a unit has 2 attack modes now and can be given the ability to switch between either mode at any time. Each mode has their own respective advantages and disadvantages and can be combined with the original Anomaly strategy of unit swapping, and throwing in special abilities such as smoke, repair or decoy.
The soundtrack is in my opinion, way better than the original. But then again, Anomaly had a great soundtrack to begin with.
The graphics are great, both the friendly and enemy unit designs looks really good, the weather effects and the explosions look awesome. The soundtrack doesn’t really stand out, but the sound effects really heighten the intensity of the carnage even further.

In the later level the game expects you to do way too much micromangement of units and powers, to the point where it stops being fun and starts being tedious work.Show moreShow less
