Now you have to consider a unit’s morphed form when choosing what you want to bring along with you in a mission as they all have their pros and cons. The biggest change to the gameplay comes in the form of morphing your units by double clicking an assault hound (machine gun unit) you can morph it into the hell hound that wields two flamethrowers. Unit placement is key to getting through a situation and you can instantly rearrange your squad with the push of a button. You’ve got six slots to place units in and five different unit types.

The strategy comes in when deciding how to customize your squad. You’ll go through various missions that feel more like puzzles as you plan out the right path that will allow you to complete the mission with as little casualties as possible. You can quickly jump into the tactical menu to plan out the path you want your squad to take and you can easily make quick changes. The core gameplay in Anomaly 2 remains practically the same with you controlling a human character you can move around the battlefield while your squad moves along a path you select. The game stays consistently challenging throughout and didn’t feel sadistically hard for the sake of being hard besides a moment or two later in the game. My main gripe about the first game was how relatively easy it was until the very end where the difficulty suddenly ramped up drastically and thankfully it’s been fixed this time around. My only gripe was that controlling the commander with the keyboard didn’t feel as smooth as it does with the controller.

With just a flick of the mouse wheel you can quickly access the tactical map and the space bar brings up your squad menu.

I played Anomaly: Warzone Earth with a controller so I jumped into this one with my controller as well and while it still plays well with a controller I quickly realized how much better the PC controls are. I’m sure fans of the first game will be happy to know that the campaign is a few hours longer this time around. The story isn’t anything impressive and is clearly just there as an excuse to tie together all these missions, but it’s decent enough. You’ll play as a new commander as you search for a professor who has a machine that might be able to tip the scales in your favor, unfortunately there’s a horde of aliens between you and him. It’s been a while since you defeated the aliens in Anomaly: Warzone Earth, but if cheesy sci-fi movies ever taught you anything it’s that alien scum never stays dead they’re are back and they’ve turned Earth into a frozen tundra. It’s been a while since Anomaly: Warzone Earth gave us a clever twist on the tower defense formula and while Anomaly 2 is mostly more of the same, that’s not exactly a bad thing.
