In the event, this all translates to a top-down view of the city from either a very high-level view that you can use for route planning, or a lower-level view that you can use to manage the tactics of moving the convoy past enemy emplacements. And if you get killed, you spring right back to life. Oh, and you are on the hook for repairing any damage they may suffer as well. You have a position of high importance in that you alone are responsible for determining the route of the convoy and managing the use of countermeasures. It might seem as if you got the short end of the stick with that assignment, but it’s not all that bad. At the end of the day, that means you will be running along outside being shot at while all of your compatriots are ensconced in armored vehicles. The aliens are, naturally, opposed to your efforts and will fight you with many, many exotic weapon emplacements.
#ANOMALY WARZONE EARTH LEVEL 11 HOW TO#
These aliens have created immense domes over various cities and you as the player have been selected to lead the group that will figure out what’s going on and how to resolve it. For some reason, aliens have again decided that Earth is worth having, or at least worth mucking about with. I’ve gotten a little ahead of the story, so I need to back track and pay at least a small homage to the underlying story line. With Anomaly, the strategic factor has primarily to do with the selection, outfitting, and positioning of vehicles in your convoy. Luckily for me, the strategy involved with Anomaly isn’t the high-level positioning of hordes of troops, battalions of armor, or squadrons of aircraft that you find in many strategy games.

It’s not the “action” part that I struggle with I just don’t have the time or attention span to dig into the intricacies of anything more strategically complex than Battleship. Steam describes it as an Action/Strategy game which is nearly always the kiss of death for me. it turns out to be worth the effort, and that was the case with Anomaly: Warzone Earth from 11 bit studios. So, you will find it unsurprising that I never hold out much hope that a $10 game will be worth more than a quick glance and a muttered profanity. Or, so believes every former optimist you’ll ever meet. Strip away the veneer of optimism and you will find find a core of pessimism every time. It’s not like no one has ever been lied to (or about) by a politician, right? Okay, that was a bad example because it’s anything but an unfair generalization, but the point is still valid: pessimism usually comes from somewhere, and when you’ve been around as long as I have you have had plenty of time for the cumulative burden of life’s constant little disappointments to erode your optimism. Pessimism is like a stereotype: sure, they’re unfair generalizations, but they come from somewhere. I own my pessimism, and often wear it as a badge of experience. You would not be the first, and given that it’s completely true, you sure won’t be the last.
