A new twist on an old favorite. Its graphical elements are engaging, and the player interface is familiar. This is a solid title.

There's nothing that can't be fixed by a patch, however. If you are an RTS fan, Empire of the Ants will deliver.

Gamer's Pulse
Hardcore RTS fans will be unimpressed with EOTAs strategically-lacking and limited combat, hands-off management, and overall dull brand of gameplay.

I found myself wishing for the gameplay of Maxis’ "Sim Ant" using the graphics of Empire instead of the lackluster strategy found here.

The lack of stimulating combat or camp building will turn off quite a few others. But hey, the premise is cool.

IGN
The idea is really great and the gameplay holds glimmers of what could have been. Sadly, it falls a quite a bit short of perfect. The lack of character and sorry graphics slap the game down at the surface and some interface and gameplay ideas wound the title a little deeper.

Adrenaline Vault
It is indeed fun to control unusual units in battle, but the focus on micromanagement can become a bit more demanding than most players want for their entertainment dollars.

GameSpot
The game has its moments, but not frequently enough to lift it out of mediocrity. EoA just doesn't do justice to the really unusual and interesting premise.

Computer Games Magazine
More control of your units is necessary for a strategy title, and more impressive graphics and more complex tasks are important for a city builder. As it stands, this game gets neither right and has little to offer aside from a great concept.

If you are looking for a playable, original strategy game then you're best off looking elsewhere. And if you want ants, well, just buy an Ant Farm.
