    The game looks fantastic and the touch controls are quicker and more precise than its PC counterpart's mouse. Its glorious mix of tactics and action is both instantly accessible and deceptively deep. An anomaly indeed.

    It's ridiculous how much Anomaly has to offer and how natural it feels on touch devices. I don't think it's out of line to call it one of the best games on the market at the moment, as its easily one the visually sharpest, most well-produced, and executed out there.

    Utilizing a highly-stylized interface, intuitive controls, and plenty of tactical goodness, Anomaly brings both the noise and the funk as it ushers in a new era of iOS gaming.

    Fantastic game, great graphics, fine mechanism and satisfying challenges. Additional modes extend the gameplay. Ideal for ipad and touchscreen. Storyline is also ok.… Expand

    This is a really good game. It makes you consider your options carefully, choose a method (careful and well planned or cavalier and action packed!), has a new take on tower defence games (originality - tick!) and it must be said, is quite fun. However, there is next to no storyline, the number of units, upgrades and support are rather limited, and for some reason the game isn't absorbing. I am a TD nut, but was able to put this down unfinished after only a few hours. 100 metascore? I question whether this is the best game ever made for the iOS.… Expand

    Not quite sure why this is getting an unqualified 10 / 10- it's not a bad game, but it's hardly going to set the world on fire. The graphics are good, it plays well enough, but full marks? No. The game is overwhelmingly brown, the plot is generic beyond words (i.e. there are bad aliens, and you must stop them), and you don't really get to do that much.

    On the other hand, it's cheap, so if you need another disposable timewaster, go for it.    … Expand
