Great idea but with the ants not responding acoordingly to your commands this just gets worse the more you play, trying to min/max for achivments or other harder challanges you cannot lose an army of ants for no reason.
You can toggle ''Attack'' or ''Gather food'' so you actually make the ants do what you want them to.
Sadly they totally ignore those toggle commands anyway.
So yeah maybe that will be fixed in the future, if it does then so will this review.
But for now its a nope.

Ants go brrrr
Seriously though this game has been a fun game for me since I got it. It is an interesting game that has managed to hold my attention quite well and has helped with keeping me from being too bored. I would love if the game could have a co-op custom game mode so you could play with a couple friends. Otherwise it’s a great game that I have oddly enjoyed and that friends enjoy watching me fiddle with.

I absolutely love the game and hunting for the achievments. They are partly really challenging and just tickles that will to beat it. Also since it is in some ways "round based" it doesn't eat too much of your time (if you don't want it to XD)

This was a great game. The narration of the missions really sells it. Only complaint is that there were not more missions and some maybe a retreat command.
Can easily recommend this game. 10/10 would battle deranged scientists again.

This Game IS Great But Needs a Multiplayer feature that builds already off their core game (e.g. Invasions of other nests and multi queen maps) all in all really good game but its replay ability would be so much better

Good game just stupid there is no save feature? Like it's a single player game these kinds of things are the bare minimum. Missions can be an 1:00 to 1:30 yet you can't simply save it when you need to do something else. Also didn't really like the campaign, missions were great and idea was cool but it shoulda only been the missions not the extra unneeded formicarium builder that resets every 2 missions. Gameplay and missions however were all interesting and amazing. There's even more you can do in custom game/extra missions that weren't in campaign which is a nice touch.

Good to kill time, but it REALLY needs speed control. A simple level takes too long to finish.
