Oct 7, 201411 bit studios continues to prove that a little innovation can go a long way. Anomaly 2 capitalizes on what made its predecessor so great by improving on an already unique take on the genre, adding great visuals, and a cleverly crafted competitive multiplayer that tower defense fans will surely enjoy.
-
Oct 10, 2014This is a competent PlayStation 4 port for a very good game.
-
Oct 6, 2014The charm of tower defence games can be limited, but Anomaly 2 steps beyond this threshold to not only give devoted followers something fresh, but also provides those curious about the genre an entry point that will undoubtedly entertain anyone’s fancy for a spell.
-
Sep 22, 2014It may not convert those who avoid the tower defense genre at all costs, but it does prove that a few small but important tweaks can change one's perception in a big way.
-
Sep 22, 2014If you liked the first episode you'll like this one, especially thanks to its new multiplayer mode. We miss a wider variety of situations, but in general terms it's well designed and engaging.
-
Sep 25, 2014Anomaly 2 takes the tower defense model, flips it, adds some bells and whistles and makes one hell of a fun time out of it. While not having the most extensive story and somewhat repetitive gameplay, Anomaly 2 makes up for it by throwing in enough in game variations to keep you interested as well as having quite challenging difficulty curves to keep you coming back.
-
Sep 25, 2014For $15, hardcore strategy fans should take a look at Anomaly 2, but be warned, it can get messy in there and when it does, you’re going to need a cool head if you want to survive.
-
Sep 23, 2014Anomaly 2 is an exciting proposal in the tower defense genre.
-
Oct 21, 2014Anomaly 2's singleplayer portion is basically identical to the first game, so if that was your jam, then by all means, go weapons free. If it wasn't your jam, then maybe the multiplayer will keep you interested.
-
Oct 8, 2014An interestingly designed take on the tower defence genre.
-
Sep 25, 2014Anomaly 2 preserves the unique twist its predecessor brought to the tower defense genre but does little to expand on what came before it.
-
Sep 22, 2014Anomaly 2 builds off the first Anomaly with some fresh, new ideas, and is an intelligent, strategic game with plenty of replayability value. It is not perfect by any means, but for the price ($14.99), it is a pretty fun game.
-
Sep 21, 2014An enjoyable single player tower offense game that unfortunately suffers from a barren and empty online multiplayer.
-
Sep 22, 2014As much as I enjoyed Anomaly 2, I have a very hard time recommending the console version to anyone. Even this non-PC gamer thinks I would have had a far better time with a keyboard and mouse.
-
Sep 29, 2014Without a strong multiplayer community behind it though, I would say skip the PS4 release and head straight for PC if you have the means.
