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.

Game Ratings for Empire of the Ants Video Game.
Pro Game Guides: 5 / 5 by Stephanie Watel
Empire of the Ants is a welcome breath of fresh forest air in a genre that can always benefit from more nature-based simulators, and sets a well-earned standard for those looking to achieve a similar vision. The story is an enjoyable 20 or so hours inside a world that is fascinating to explore, and I think Bernard Werber would be proud of what Tower Five has accomplished.
ZTGD: 8 / 10 by Terrence Johnson
Empire of Ants is a unique strategy game that offers players a fresh perspective on the insect world, the last game I personally played with ants was Sim-Ant. The game’s ability to blend realistic visuals with strategic gameplay creates a compelling and immersive experience.
Worth Playing: 7 / 10 by Cody Medellin
This iteration of Empire of the Ants is certainly an improvement over the original game released over 20 years ago. It looks absolutely gorgeous and has a fitting soundscape to boot. The lack of micromanagement makes it more accessible for most but alienates those looking for the next coming of SimAnt. The strategy elements and platforming are basic, but the game remains enjoyable in short bursts. As a whole, it's a good game that you'll only jump into if you want something that feels strategic without going too deep into what the genre offers.
