Anomaly: Warzone Earth is a tower defense game with a fast-paced, reversed perspective. The player takes control of a single convoy and guides it through several cities that aliens overrun. The players can alter the convoy’s configuration and utilize unique powers such as repair units. Each mission has its objectives, and as a result, it typically calls for a unique strategy and convoy compositions. The game aims to look into reports of an alien infestation.
The PlayStation 3 version features a local cooperative option that allows two commanders to work together in combat. This mode is exclusive to the PlayStation 3 version. While the other is in charge of planning the strategy, the first controls the armor units.
