Hey Everyone! This week I played through the Indie game Adamant Ants on Xbox 360. It is a fairly standard side scrolling rts game. This was the first time I have ever played a side scrolling rts and so I did need to spend some time to get acquainted with the game to judge it fairly. The game has its strengths that will draw in the rts fan base but it also has some other details that can be discouraging to indie fans. The high note of this game and the reason I was drawn to it from the start was the quality of the graphics/backdrops. Indie games don’t get the 6-7gb disc that we expect from beautiful looking games so when I see an indie game that looks polished I am impressed even by the screenshots. The colors are vibrant and set the mood for the game. When it gets cloudy at night it can start raining which can make the water that you’re trying to avoid seem much more intimidating. Now that I have dealt with the beauty the game offers lets figure out what the heck were playing.
