Extremely underrated game in my opinion.
Every now and then I'll come back and play and put a handful of hours into it, the RTS elements are fairly simple however they work extremely well and at higher difficulties can be quite challenging.
This game is a must own for an RTS fan whether you be a hardcore starcraft competitor or a lowly C&C nostalgia nerd.

Fantastic game with excellent ants, strategy and fun narration. Still have not finished it yet, but I am enjoying it greatly ! Devs seem to be super enthusiastic in developing the game too. This game inspires me to become a myrmecologist !

O começo do jogo é meio sem graça, mas com a evolução da colônia e os cenários/inimigos externos vão ficando mais interessantes; de todos os jogos de "sim ant" que já joguei no pc/cel, esse é o mais completo, mas só ficou interessante depois de algumas horas de evolução.

I'd say this game is the GOAT, but it's not.
It's the ant, and it was so good I accidentally left it running for 4 days straight.

The game is really good, but I am playing it on mac and it crashes all the time. I thought I fixed it once (Airpods pro 2.0 are not compatible apparently), then another crash, and another... wasted too much time on this :(

I’ve absolutely loved this game, especially the story missions, which play out as narrated nature documentaries, immersing you in realistic scenarios with a variety of unique ant species! If you're interested in ants or nature in general, this game is definitely worth a look.
The gameplay differs from typical RTS games. Instead of controlling individual units, you manage pheromone trails to direct your colony; control still feels reasonably responsive. Base building is more akin to Dungeon Keeper, with underground nest construction rather than traditional RTS structures. Despite these differences, the core strategic elements remain—battling for resources, managing unit compositions (balancing different ant castes and food reserves), and deciding where to focus your forces.
The developers have been fantastic in supporting the game, consistently providing updates and engaging with the community, both throughout early access and after the 1.0 release.
