Empire Of The Ants NEW Gameplay Demo 4K (New Photorealistic Ant Simulator Game 2024)

[@punish]

This game is absolutely fun. I had a week to play it early and there is a small learning curve to it, but once you understand the mechanics and how the game works, it is so much fun and satisfying to play which is something I thought I would never say for a game like this. A demo will be releasing very soon to steam, so please if you have a chance, try this game out!

Is this a strategy game? Action?

[@FranklynSantiago-h3o]

This game really does highlight how ants do have an entire civilization, and it's crazy to think about. Imagine the wars ants have fought in our yards, or out in the middle of a forest.

[@beruga]

Check out the movie The Besieged Fortress for a real-world example of insect society and warfare. It has termites instead of ants, but it's insane how their lives basically resemble humans in medieval Europe.

[@Ddgi-u73]

I hope the resource management and base building system is a lot more robust than it first appears.

[@PaulodeMelo]

The stupidest thing they could have ever done they seem to have indeed done: remove underground nest gameplay. Facepalm.

[@Ddgi-u73]

@paulodemelo oh dear. That’s a shame. I’m not sure why developers always flake out on resource management etc. with ant games. The last ant game that was worth anything was Sim Ant back in the day 😅

[@PatchworkStudios]

This is absolutely stunning! I never thought a game about ants could be so engaging, but I've found myself staring at the screen this whole time, without even a thought of looking away. The sound effects and score really make it, and I love how there are times when you don't have music playing in the background the whole time. It allows for other features such as the world and mechanics to take front stage. And when the music does come back in, it feels earned and dynamic. Well done! I can't wait to play this game!

[@matthewwilliams3827]

[@slasher3428]

[@17th_Colossus]

The game looks gorgeous, but the UI is too intrusive.

[@GaiusSuSpiciusGallus]

I'm so glad someone else noticed this. I'm trying to marvel at this gorgeous engine, but my eyes are drawn only to the bright lines and obscure icons, which stand out against the dark ground filled with insects. It’s even more infuriating when you ask, 'How does the player know which ant they are controlling in a massive group?' They should have used Spore as a model for how to design this game.

[@armandblake]

I once saw during a picnic an ant carrying a piece of crumb at least 5 times its size and the nest was a good 6/7 meters away… I also went to a buffet dinner that night and admired human greed and people just trying to stuff as much food as possible in their faces.

[@king_fisherXX]

6 minutes in and I’m already saying, “Yep, I'm getting this!” This feels like Ancestors: The Humankind Odyssey, but without getting bored after 1 hour. Ancestors were more free to roam and do what they wanted to do (find a new home, learn more things to create, discover new foods/animals, etc). In this game, you're given a task and you go out to complete it. Also, the combat looks pretty interesting as well and I do like how there's dialogue for the ants. So yeah, I'm hooked 🙌

[@ramtigerfalcon8387]

I'm in love. This is incredible!. I'd love to know whether or not it has a true to life colony expansion ( its a wonderful process involving precision birthing, flight ,mating, and death) This game only may encourage me to purchase a PS5
