Tower defense is flipped around in Anomaly 2: rather than building turrets, the player leads a convoy of vehicles through machine-held territory and has to get it past the enemy's guns. The sequel moves the action to a frozen, post-apocalyptic Earth, where surviving humans travel in convoys searching for supplies, and the player's own convoy is called Yukon. Units can morph between forms, which adds flexibility to how a squad is arranged and used.
Besides the single-player campaign, a multiplayer mode pits tower defense against tower offense, with one side defending while the other attacks. The game follows Anomaly Warzone Earth and suits strategy fans who want a tactical twist on a familiar genre.
