I remember playing Sim Ant way back when. To this day people still call it one of the most boring games of all time, but my 8-year-old self managed to have fun with it. Needless to say, I'm looking forward to this.

[@SubtleOrangeYT]

Such an underrated game. Play it once in a while still. The only bad thing I can say about it is that it started my fear of spiders...

[@christopherlundgren1700]

There's no way Sim Ant is one of the most boring games of all time. You establish supply chains, muster your army to take down threats, and destroy the enemy colony. It's just an RTS game.

[@Monocular0]

They taste salty.

[@sarahshaw-sehgal1146]

Man whatttttt I spent hours and hours playing it!!! One of my favourites 😂

Absurd. Anyone who says that must have never bred endless soldier ants to defeat the Red Menace or otherwise battle the various enemies that required building small battalions of ants.

I think it has the potential to be big yes, after doing some research their steam page emphasises the fact that you can progressively grow your colony and make "unusual" allies which is weirdly accurate to how some ants go. A buy for me if it is open world, crossing fingers.

As a Frenchman 🇫🇷 i must say that i am really proud of what French Developers are doing in the Gaming Industry, most of the time with small budgets : Vampyr , Vampire Masquerade Swansong , Greedfall , A Plague Tale Innocence / Requiem , Assassin's Creed Mirage, Stray , and this Ant Game ... I understand those projects might not be for everyone, please a lot of Gamers but, i sincerely do respect the fact that each of those games has its own identity ❤
