Anomaly Defenders: The Final Battle in the Tower Offense Subgenre
Anomaly Defenders (2014) is the final installment in the Anomaly series, a unique subgenre of tower defense games known as “tower offense.” In the original Anomaly games, players controlled humans fighting against alien invaders. Anomaly Defenders flips the script, putting players in control of the aliens as they defend their homeworld from a human counterattack.
This change in perspective brings with it a number of new gameplay mechanics. In Anomaly Defenders, the human troops are not simply passive targets for your towers. They can actively damage and destroy your defenses, so you must be constantly reacting and counterattacking.
To help you in this task, Anomaly Defenders offers a variety of new towers and special functions. You can repair your towers, make them go berserk, sacrifice them in explosions that damage nearby enemies, and more. You can also research new technologies to upgrade your towers and give you new abilities.
With its fast-paced gameplay, challenging敌人, and unique tower offense mechanics, Anomaly Defenders is a must-play for fans of the genre.

Some towers are good at attacking air units, while others are better at taking down ground units. You must carefully choose which towers to build and upgrade in order to create a defense that can withstand the enemy’s onslaught.
In addition to towers, you can also use a variety of special functions to help you in battle. These functions include repairing your towers, making them go berserk, and sacrificing them in explosions that damage nearby enemies. You can also research new technologies to upgrade your towers and give you new abilities.
The gameplay in Anomaly Defenders is fast-paced and challenging. The enemy waves are relentless, and you must be constantly adapting your strategy to counter their attacks. However, the game is also very rewarding, and it is immensely satisfying to successfully defend your base from the human invaders.
