The Ants: Underground Kingdom gives you a look into the
inner workings
of an ant colony — which is something new to the
city-building
genre. What's more, it offers a relaxing experience that makes it a great game when you want to unwind.
Build and defend the colony
The Ants: Underground Kingdom starts with building the colony around the Queen ant. You'll have to
train
worker ants to
expand
the tunnels and
discover
the necessary resources to
grow
the territory. Moreover, you'll need to build different sections in the colony where you can
farm
and
upgrade
your supplies. You should also establish sectors for
hatching
and
training
different ant species.
One of the buildings you need to establish and upgrade in your colony is the
Guardian Ant Nest
. This section is where you can hatch and
unlock soldier ants
that will
defend
your empire against other insects. Another important nest is the
Sentinel Tree
, which is home to
sentinel ants
that are responsible for
scouting
the colony and
alerting you
of any possible threats.
There are a lot of elements in this game, but they are not overwhelming since you'll be
guided by tutorials
along the way. However, these guides will
feel overarching
since they expand through the first few chapters. Another downside is the
long build times
for creating and upgrading different sections of the colony. Both these factors become a big issue if you're a competitive player.
Hours of relaxing playtime
This game is a breath of fresh air to the strategy and city-building genres. It offers a
plethora of content
and
relaxing gameplay
that will keep you entertained the more you play. However, the lengthy tutorials and building time can be off-putting if you're into a more competitive gaming experience. If you don't mind these downsides, though, then this game is a good companion for you during your downtime.
