The story in this game is largely a rehash of the original "Anomaly Warzone Earth," offering a familiar narrative that some players find cliché but fitting for the gameplay. While the graphics, music, and voice acting are praised, the overall execution of the story is seen as lacking depth, with minimal dialogue and a focus on mission briefings. Players note that the missions are easier and more balanced compared to the original, but the story does not significantly enhance the experience for those familiar with the series.
- “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 a good story, kinda weird as I was just expecting soldiers trying to move their way through either a group of terrorists or shooting their way through to get out of Korea, like Homefront and such.”
- “It has a cliché story but it suits the game very well, so that's not a problem.”
- “There's also less dialogue, just a lot of mission briefings from the general character of the original, and incidental lines from Air Force 7, the character dropping those support items for you.”
- “It's more of a re-hash of the same story, abbreviated, for those who haven't seen the story before (in the full 'Anomaly Warzone Earth').”
- “If you have already played the PC version of this game, you may wonder what the developers wanted to achieve by doing so, since the game adds nothing new to the original concept or storyline.”

The gameplay is characterized by its innovative "tower offense" mechanics, which require strategic planning and quick decision-making, offering a fresh twist on traditional tower defense. While the mobile port retains much of the core gameplay from the original, it is often criticized for being overly simplistic and less engaging, particularly due to its reliance on touch controls. Overall, players find the gameplay to be fluid and addictive, but recommend experiencing the original PC version for a more satisfying and challenging experience.
- “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 offensive tower defense mechanics is innovative, but it is done in a lackluster way.”
