US Steam price, checked 5 h ago
A charming ant-colony RTS with documentary narration, varied missions and strong replayability. Skip it if you can't commit an hour per mission with no saves, or want fine unit control.
Great for
Ant and nature-documentary fans and patient RTS players who like challenge and replayable missions
Main risk
No mid-mission saves plus hour-long, trial-and-error missions with difficulty spikes

“Having a documentary style narration playing works extremely well: both to inform you about the different species of ants you're playing, and act as a tutorial when introducing enemies.”
