Critic Reviews for Empire of the Ants
Pretty to look at but painfully dull and frustrating to play, Empire of the Ants's single-player campaign has none of the depth of the multiplayer and packages bad AI with boring missions and a meandering story.
Empire of the Ants features a lavish rendering of the world from a few millimeters high, but fails at the basics of interesting RTS play.
It's gorgeous to look at and has some depth to its tiny battles, but a lack of modes and unit variety means Empire of the Ants's multiplayer isn't likely to have a lot of legs.
Empire of the Ants is a true celebration of our natural world that just happens to be disguised as a real time strategy game.
Overall, Empire of the Ants is an experience that is perhaps less ambitious in terms of gameplay than others, but very satisfying in terms of making us "feel" like we are an ant . Seeing our sisters carrying food in a row, feeling the tension when a predator approaches... It is very interesting to immerse ourselves in the cycle of life, but without Timon and Pumba.

Beautiful, contemplative and engaging, Empire of the Ants is a unique hybrid that will delight fans of the natural world.
Empire of the Ants is a visual masterpiece based on the 1991 sci-fi book by Bernard Werber, but its streamlined RTS gameplay may be too limited for hardcore fans of the genre. The game is approachable for newbies or those who do not want to hassle with elaborate strategic maneuvers, and it offers additional gameplay via the hub, world exploration, and a surprising amount of platforming.
Empire of the Ants bends the boundaries between videogame and science communication. The use of the Ureal Engine 5 is critical to achieve an unbelievable level of photorealism that leads to full immersion into the huge tiny universe of ants. The light gameplay mechanics designed to be accessible to as many people as possible may alienate the hardcore players of strategy games though.
