An RTS, in which we command an army of ants. Empire of the Ants is an adaptation of a novel of the same name, written by Bernard Werber and published in 1991.
Empire of the Ants is a real-time strategy game developed by Tower Five, responsible for games such as Lornsword Winter Chronicle and XIII. It's an adaptation of a novel of the same name, written by Bernard Werber and published in 1991.
Empire of the Ants takes place in a French forest, more specifically - in a conflict-ridden world of ants. The player controls the "savior" of the titular insects, whose task is to lead them to domination over the local ecosystem.
Our objective in Empire of the Ants is to create a prosperous anthill. To do so, we must gather supplies, expand our headquarters and recruit troops to ensure our safety. In the longer term we can ally with the local wildlife and lead our armies to battle for new territories. Combat requires tactical thinking and skillful use of our ants' abilities. The game features a day-and-night cycle as well as changing seasons, which affect the environment and the mechanics.
We can also directly control a single ant from the third-person perspective (TPP), interacting with other ants and denizens of the forest.
Due to the gameplay's complexity, the developers have prepared special tutorials to introduce us to the game; aside from that, the difficulty is modifiable and adjustable to one's individual preferences.
Empire of the Ants can be played in singleplayer and multiplayer.
Empire of the Ants runs on the Unreal Engine 5. The game's visuals are very high quality; the locations are densely vegetated and filled with detail, just like the ants themselves.

PC Gamer: 60 / 100 by Jonathan Bolding
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.
Gaming Nexus: 8.5 / 10 by Jason Dailey
Far more than just an Unreal Engine 5 tech demo, Empire of the Ants is a brilliant RTS game. Smart, confident gameplay design keeps things simple while challenging your tactical abilities at a near-perfect pace. It's one of the best surprises of 2024.
CGMagazine: 6 / 10 by Brendan Frye
Empire of the Ants is visually beautiful and narratively fascinating but isn’t consistently fun to play.
