    Empire of the Ants is a strange blend of RPG and RTS action. However, it is the ultrarealistic world and the phenomenal audio that makes this shine. Though the camera angle was occasionally horrible, I enjoyed the variety of missions and the interesting but flawed story.

    Empire of the Ants is a visual masterpiece based on the 1991 sci-fi book by Bernard Werber, but its streamlined RTS gameplay may be too limited for hardcore fans of the genre. The game is approachable for newbies or those who do not want to hassle with elaborate strategic maneuvers, and it offers additional gameplay via the hub, world exploration, and a surprising amount of platforming.

    After a meticulous dissection of The Ants, we can conclude that the experience of following the footprints of these insects is no small feat. The different levels offer an immersion into the heart of the infinitely small that hits the bullseye. There are even a few butterflies in our stomachs when we think of the combat possibilities offered by the multiplayer modes. However, the problems with the camera make us wonder about the target audience for this adventure. The on-screen instructions are apparently written for ants, and it is often difficult to get your bearings properly due to a lack of legibility. We therefore recommend the title to curious and patient minds, or to those who are a little “boar-ed”!
