It’s an adrenaline-pumping tower defense with a twist--you’re the attacker!

Anomaly: Warzone Earth, a fast-paced tower offense, is available now on GOG.com for $9.99, with the soundtrack, avatars, artworks, and more all included for free.

In the near future, something has landed in Baghdad and Tokyo. Something alien, something protected by force fields, something hostile towards the human race--an Anomaly that needs to be eradicated. That’s when you, commander of the elite 14th Platoon, come into play. With a limited number of units and scarce resources, you need to investigate, gather information, take down enemy fortifications district by district, and finally neutralize any and all the threats that exist within the anomalies’ borders. You cannot control your units directly, rather, you set the path for the convoy, drop power-ups, repair damages, and react quickly to the rapidly changing situation on the battlefield. Some routes are safe, some rich in minerals (war is expensive) and you’ll need to find balance, sometimes you’ll have to abandon your mates and gather supplies, and sometimes click frantically in the heat of the battle--either way, it’s the art of balance that will keep you alive and kicking hard.

Anomaly: Warzone Earth sports a top-down 3D view of the battlefield, with surprising amount of details, like dust storms, abandoned cars, and destroyed city streets. What’s best is that even though Anomaly is a 2011 game, it will not put too much strain on your hardware, and that speaks highly of 11BitStudios programming expertise. Controls are as simple as you can get: a two-button mouse (or a touchpad) are enough to blast the alien invasion back to spacehole they crawled from, but learn some hotkeys.

Anomaly: Warzone Earth is not a simple role-switching tower defense, but a state-of-the-art and invigorately fun take on battle strategy genre, for only $9.99 on GOG.com
I'd buy this in a heartbeat if my laptop could play it. I love my computer, but a Zacate E-350 is just not going to cut it for this game.

kalmis666: Tower Defense, no thanks. No matter how awesome it is supposed to be.
I have a similar opinion on TD and Plants vs Zombies was the one big exception (which might however be tied to the fact that PvZ is completely different mechanics than any other TD I know). But Anomaly is not really a TD game as you control a convoy that has to get past defensive structures and you have to directly control a commander unit that supports it. Personally I was quite amazed from the very first moment despite hating TD.
Anyone know of a demo for this?? Any sort of linkage to TD kinda puts me off after playing so many in the past.
I recall playing a demo at some point, I think it's on Steam.

JediLoop: Newsflash: some of us (e.g. ME) didn't know about indie bundles. I've only found out about them because of the Botanicula debut thing.

GOG is doing a great thing for many people, including me, introducing a lot of great indie titles. I will definitely buy a lot of them in the future.

And if you already got the games released here - from HIB or other bundles - don't criticize GOG, because they didn't do anything wrong. Just the opposite!
Well there is that, and some of us never cared to buy the humble bundles because we never wanted all the games. there is no point in buying a bundle of six games (or wherever) when you only want one of the titles ... no matter how cheap it might potentially be. I'm glad to see the indies here on GOG so that I can buy them on my own time and not someone else's. I really wish people would stop complaining. If you already have it from an HB, fine. Leave it at that and don't say anything. If you do not have it from a HB, great! You can get it now. Either way it is win win.

DoctorGOGgles: Don't get me wrong, I love GOG and have bought dozens of games from them. I just wonder why they exclude potential Mac and Linux customers...
Probably because they are not set up to support Mac or Linux for any of their other games. You know that the minute they include Linux/Mac in the indies, people will be pressuring them to overhaul the whole catalog to make it Mac/Linux compatible as well. I'm guessing that GOG is just keeping that catalog focused, and I do not see anything wrong with that since people searching specifically for Linux/Mac games generally would be going elsewhere anyways ... theoretically anyways.

You don't want it, don't buy it. ;) I'm not interested in it, but I'm not going to deny somebody to spend their 10 bucks on something they're interested in.

Kudos for providing soundtracks for both of today's releases!

Thanks for the info, I'm dling it now.
I'd just like to add that I am very, very happy to see a release of both something new and something older on the same day. That is excellent - the best of both worlds. I hope GOG can continue to do this.

I can appreciate that many people picked up various indies via Humble and other bundles but that doesn't mean the games should not be here. Plenty of people missed various bundles for whatever reasons and this gives them a chance to pick up GOG versions of great games. I know I've only bought one bundle myself thus far.

Now, give me Ultima IX please! Oh, and I'd like a side of Wing Commander Prophecy with that as well. Oh, and I should not neglect newer stuff so how about a bundle with Defcon, Uplink, Darwinia and Multiwinia! You know you want to!

Not criticizing them (well, for their business sense maybe), just pointing out that churning out release after release of single indie games for $10 that everybody and his cousin already bought in a Humble Bundle for much less than that, is unlikely to be a huge financial success.

It's called customer feedback, and companies need it to stay in the game. Guess what doesn't help a company whatsoever? Mindless praise. I love GOG, and I want to see them succeed, so when I see something I think they could do better, I tell them.
There are some 300 million people playing PC games today. About 150,000 of them bought the Humble Bundle containing this game. Obviously I'm not saying that the remaining 299 850 000 people are going to descend on GOG to buy it, but I don't think people appreciate just how many gamers there are who don't make use of the bundles.

Frankly, I don't think I'm even going to buy any more indie bundles. 95% of the stuff is left unplayed, as it is. Buying them super cheap and not appreciating them just seems silly. Grimrock was one of the few indies of late that I've played right away to the finish when I got it here. Otherwise I'm just too distracted by all those other GOG games I have. So much so that I've even ignored my Xbox 360 for a while now.

While I may own most of the indie games that have shown up so far, GOG's selection of games has been terrific so far. You can't fault them for that.
Well, this release seems like a bit of an anomaly.

Ha, ha, ha.
Thank you so much!! This game is really awesome and it's great to see it here.
Nice to see another Indie game featured here. I find them fun and enjoyable.
