For the multiplayer modes (which are much better!), read the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ign.com\/articles\/empire-of-the-ants-multiplayer-review\">multiplayer review<\/a>. <\/p>\n<p>It may be nice to look at, but Empire of the Ants\u2019s single-player campaign is outright terrible and dull. It\u2019s around 12 hours worth of missions that pivot between being pointlessly easy \u2013 due to a passive enemy AI that doesn\u2019t even know how to use powers to buff its troops, which is crucial to success \u2013 to obnoxiously difficult on a dime, and it doesn\u2019t let you save mid-mission. Most infuriatingly, there\u2019s one where nine waves of enemies spawn and attack from all directions, and you instantly fail if you lose control of a single one of the seven nests you have to defend \u2013 so many that it\u2019s impossible to upgrade them all with effective defenses. That last wave is a doozy, too, which meant I had to replay it from the start multiple times just to overcome the final challenging moments where they come in large enough numbers to be a threat. <\/p>\n\n<p>Mixed in with those combat missions are absurdly tedious ones where you only control your single ant as you hunt for tiny bugs \u2013 which are usually very effectively camouflaged thanks to the realistic art style \u2013 spread across a big map. You\u2019re guided only by a non-directional proximity sensor, so you have to run in circles to triangulate each bug. There are also \u201cstealth\u201d missions that don\u2019t actually care if you\u2019re detected as you scan enemy legions (dying has basically no consequences either), and these similarly amount to running around a map looking for things. Sometimes you\u2019re told to catch butterflies or fireflies that fly away when you get close \u2013 the only way I found to do it was to wait for them to repeat their scripted movement pattern and land right in front of me, and that is exactly as much fun as it sounds.<\/p>\n<p>Considering you can climb any object and walk on the ceiling, it\u2019s surprising that only a couple of the missions make any use of this ability at all, and those that do are mostly the boring, non-combat variety. (There was only one mission where my units fought upside-down, which was very funny because the corpses of dead ants rained down.) Similarly, the only thing Empire of the Ants does with its impressive sense of scale is give you a few objects \u2013 like a glass bottle or a toy giraffe \u2013 to run around, picking up little glowy things as you explore them. I\u2019ll grant you that this does remind me of how I\u2019ve seen real ants figure out if an object is something they want to eat, but I don\u2019t think ants are doing this for fun, and I am not having much fun doing it either. <\/p>\n<p>I don\u2019t think ants are doing this for fun, and I am not having much fun doing it either.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>You aren\u2019t forced to do all of these missions to complete the campaign \u2013 you select missions by speaking to quest-giving ants in a sequence of hub areas that serve as a sort of menu \u2013 but I don\u2019t recommend any of them, or the campaign in general. The nicest thing I can say about it is that it\u2019s not all that buggy (other than\u2026 you know).<\/p>\n<p>The other thing you do in these hubs is talk to ants. I haven\u2019t read the books Empire of the Ants is based on, but if the Wikipedia synopsis is anything to go by this game\u2019s story isn\u2019t even close to following them because there are no human characters or secret ant weapons to make it remotely interesting. I\u2019m going to assume that its numerous conversations about how your nest is threatened by termites and other visually identical ant species or floods don\u2019t do the novels justice. Even the ant civil war that breaks out is over almost as abruptly as it begins, ensuring there\u2019s no substance there either.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This review covers the single-player campaign of Empire of the Ants.
