Anomaly: Warzone Earth Message Board older than one year ago

Something else that’s true is that tower-defence-but-in-reverse game Anomaly: Warzone Earth now has a demo out, and you can get it here.

You'll lead Earth's forces through the defenses set up by alien invaders, in what Polish developer 11 bit is describing as "reverse tower defense," a taste of which is offered in the gameplay video after the break. Also, we're told the previously announced iOS version is still in the works, though no date has been set.
