What it is
Anomaly 2 is a strategy game from 11 Bit Studios that turns the tower-offense idea of Anomaly Warzone Earth into a campaign and a competitive multiplayer mode. In its post-apocalyptic setting, humanity travels in convoys through a machine-controlled world; the player commands the Yukon convoy. Troops can transform into war mechs, with different forms and abilities for different combat situations. Alongside the single-player campaign, the game has a tower defense versus tower offense multiplayer mode: one side controls towers and the other leads human forces. The Steam feature list includes multiplayer, cross-platform multiplayer, Steam Cloud, Family Sharing, and trading cards. Anomaly 2 was developed and published by 11 Bit Studios. It is listed for Windows, macOS, and Linux, and is categorized as action, indie, and strategy. The listed release dates are Jan 1, 2013 and May 15, 2013.
