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