The gameplay is characterized by an innovative "tower offense" mechanic that requires strategic planning and quick decision-making, offering a fresh twist on traditional tower defense games. While the core mechanics are engaging, some players feel that the execution is lackluster, particularly in the mobile version compared to its PC counterpart, which offers a more enjoyable experience. Overall, the gameplay is solid but may feel redundant for those familiar with previous titles in the series.
“The game’s innovative 'tower offense' mechanics require strategic planning and quick thinking as you navigate your convoy through alien-infested territories.”
“The concept of controlling the attacking force in a tower defense game is both original and engaging, flipping the usual genre mechanics on their head and providing a fresh experience.”
“It adds a new power-up and a few other things that significantly alter and deepen the gameplay.”
“The concept of offensive tower defense mechanics is innovative, but it is done in a lackluster way.”
“It's a direct expansion of this port, but it adds a new power-up and a few other things that significantly alter and deepen the gameplay.”
“For PC gaming, my recommendation would be to get Anomaly: Warzone Earth instead of Anomaly: Warzone Earth Mobile Campaign, as I find the PC version more enjoyable and with keyboard shortcuts, making the overall gameplay more convenient rather than having to use the mouse all the time.”

The story is praised for its depth and unexpected twists, emphasizing resilience and the unpredictability of life. While the narrative is engaging, some players found the gameplay experience frustrating, particularly in later missions, which detracted from their overall enjoyment. Despite these challenges, the graphics, music, and voice acting received positive feedback, contributing to a well-rounded storytelling experience.
“Moral of the story: you never know what life has in store for you, and if I had given up when all odds were against me, I wouldn't be where I am today.”
“Overall the graphics and music are great, the voice acting is good, and the story is actually quite engaging. I was pleasantly surprised as I was just expecting soldiers trying to navigate through a group of terrorists or shooting their way out of Korea, like in Homefront.”
“The story really draws you in and keeps you invested throughout the missions.”
“The last mission was a pain because of the stupid 'ray of death', but when I figured out how to pass it easily with two upgraded supply trucks and an upgraded dragon, it just crapped out and wouldn't complete even though I had the full map cleared.”
“Ended up rage quitting at mission 5 and uninstalled the game.”
“With everything else being the same (story, units, towers, final boss, etc.), I honestly think it's worth sacrificing the mobile-tailored UI in favor of a far better gameplay experience overall.”
