About

Empire of the Ants is a real-time strategy game published by Microids and developed by Tower Five, released on November 7, 2024. Players command insect legions in photorealistic battles from a third-person perspective within an RTS framework. The title offers both single-player and multi-player experiences across different platforms. The game includes Horde Mode for solo or co-op survival against endless waves of enemies, as well as a Story Challenge Mode featuring six missions with a scoring system. A specific mode allows two players to team up against two AI colonies on a map designed for large-scale battles. These options provide various ways to engage with the content depending on player preference. New units such as the Paussus support unit enable stealth infiltration to steal resources, while the Pheromone Storm power creates a fog that blocks vision in targeted areas. Players can choose from starting, support, and super-predator legions to shape their strategy and upgrade nest tiers for stronger units. Special abilities allow users to reinforce units or spy on opponents using pheromones. The experience involves exploring environments and forging alliances with local wildlife to overcome challenges and conquer new territories. Users can build chambers to manage economies, gather information, gain powers, and strengthen defenses within their nests. Conquering other nests expands territory and provides additional space for growth. An online cross-platform ranked multiplayer component lets players challenge friends in skirmishes or participate in player-versus-player matchmaking. A custom private lobby is available for training against a friend or AI. The solo campaign draws inspiration from Bernard Werber's saga, focusing on strategic combat and tactical missions.

It's gorgeous to look at and has some depth to its tiny battles, but a lack of modes and unit variety means Empire of the Ants's multiplayer isn't likely to have a lot of legs.

Pretty to look at but painfully dull and frustrating to play, Empire of the Ants's single-player campaign has none of the depth of the multiplayer and packages bad AI with boring missions and a meandering story.

Empire of the Ants features a lavish rendering of the world from a few millimeters high, but fails at the basics of interesting RTS play.
