在绝大多数RTS玩家的刻板印象里，宏大叙事、星际战舰、钢铁洪流相比才是这类游戏的标签。哪怕是走微观路线的《英雄连》，打的也是血肉横飞的二战。所以《蚂蚁帝国》以蚂蚁为主角、主打拟真微观世界的这一一款RTS游戏还是颇为新颖，比较挺有吸引力的！ [h1]来自RTS的创新之路[/h1] 说实话还是很难在rts游戏里见到能把美术当作卖点的，《蚂蚁帝国》还确实做到了，游戏里的光影表现堪称恐怖。场景的质感、每一片枯叶的纹理、甚至空气中飘浮的微尘都清晰可见。各类昆虫的还原也都极为拟真，很多RTS游戏为了照顾配置或者战场全局观，往往会把单位做得很小，拉近了看全是马赛克。但《蚂蚁帝国》反其道而行之，它逼着你去观察这个微观世界的每一处微小变动。这种视觉层面的新鲜感，确实在一定程度拉高了游戏的初期吸引力！ 不过画面再好，不好玩也是白搭。在操作和核心玩法上，《蚂蚁帝国》做出了非常大胆、但也极具争议的改动，它取消了传统RTS上帝视角和框选拉兵。 游戏里，你扮演的是那只具体的蚂蚁指挥官。这意味着你的视角是第三人称，必须亲自在战场上奔跑、攀爬。这就带来了一个非常颠覆性的体验——地形是完全三维立体的。 传统的rts地图本质上是张带高低差的二维平面。但在《蚂蚁帝国》里，一根横跨在小溪上的枯树枝就是咽喉要道，一片竖立的落叶就能成为天然的掩体，你甚至可以带着部队直接爬上垂直的树干或者岩壁，从敌人的头顶发动空降突袭。 这种视角带来的沉浸感无与伦比，但代价就是操作上的手忙脚乱。因为你没有全局小地图（或者说小地图很不直观），你很难像传统RTS那样，拉一框兵直接A过去，然后切回基地切科技。你必须亲自跑到前线，通过释放化学信息素来给你的工蚁、兵蚁下达进攻、防守或撤退的指令。 对于玩惯了传统RTS的玩家来说，前两个小时会非常痛苦。你会经常找不到自己的大部队在哪，或者在密密麻麻的杂草丛里迷失方向。但只要适应了这种御驾亲征的节奏，你会发现它比想象中更强调战术走位和兵种克制。 游戏的的经济系统也做了一定程度的简化，但策略深度并没有缩水。游戏围绕着巢穴为核心。你需要占领地图上的各类腐木、石缝作为分巢，然后在巢穴内部规划建设。 资源主要分为两种：食物和木材。食物用来孵化和维持军队，木材用来升级巢穴建筑。整个运营逻辑很快就能上手，但好玩的地方在于它的生态相克系统。 游戏里的兵种非常讲究生态定位，• 工蚁负责基础的后勤保障，负责搬运食物和修筑巢穴，战斗力基本为零，但在遭遇战中可以用来当肉盾或者当做诱饵。兵蚁负责核心的正面战场肉搏主力，克制大部分无甲或轻甲的昆虫。喷酸蚁负责远程输出，能喷射蚁酸，是解决高防御单位或者打乱敌方阵型的利器。 除了蚂蚁本身，你还能在生态位里招募其他昆虫作为战术外援。比如能够提供空中侦察和微弱骚扰能力的某些飞虫，或者皮糙肉厚、在正面战场上充当重型坦克”的甲虫。 游戏的战斗遵循着严格的剪刀石头布克制关系。因为你无法在战斗中进行细腻的单兵微操，所以你的兵种组合是否克制对面，你是否利用地形打出了包抄或者你是否在关键时刻释放了增强攻击或防御的信息素技能这些在交火前就可能已经绝定一部分胜负了！ 游戏目前是分单人和多人，单人有完整的战役，奏掌握得不错，中间穿插了一些纯探索和解谜的关卡，用来缓解长时间高强度对战带来的精神疲劳。 [h1]结语[/h1] 总体来说是有门槛，操作别扭，而且独特的视角可能对3d眩晕的玩家也不太友好的游戏，但不得不说他也把我们小时候蹲在院子里，看蚂蚁搬家、看两窝蚂蚁打架的那种最纯粹的童年好奇心，用现代最高端的电子游戏技术给具象化了。同时也硬生生凭借着虚幻5的工业美学和独特的微观视角，开辟出了一条谁也没走过的赛道，而且这条道路也还算成功！ [b]欢迎关注 U_U鉴赏家培养计划[/b] 关注U_U鉴赏家，开启精彩游戏之旅。

For scale, across Steam · Top Sellers · Brazil over the last 30 days: the 25 chart moves that followed a price cut of more than 20% went a median of 10 places towards #1, and the 2,413 moves with no price cut behind them went 2 away. One store, one chart, one country — it is the only place we have enough observations to say even that.
Prices outside the United States have been collected since 6 August 2026 and chart positions since 19 July 2026, so a cut older than that has no market to compare and a market that joined later has no history yet. Nothing here is converted between currencies.

I was extremely excited to play and genuinely thought this would be a hidden gem but now I'm missing half a head of hair. I truly wanted to love the game but the core issues are just irredeemable. The first 2-4 hours hook you to the premise (the demo convinced me to buy it) but it is rapidly downhill from there. The non-combat missions and tasks are all extremely boring and sometimes stressful. The most common example is you're put into a massive map and need to find 10+ tiny, barely visible items at night with a 15 minute timer that completely resets all of your progress, meanwhile your stamina keeps depleting every 20 seconds. Timed missions are always rage-inducing especially since it was clearly designed to be a slow paced game. This is a campaign-centric game. I do not know what the developers were thinking when they decided there would be absolutely no rewards or stat benefits from progressing the campaign. Nothing is permanent and nothing is new, you just repeat the same thing on every main mission. Farm for 20 minutes, fight for 20 minutes. Rinse and repeat. There is no sense of anything being rewarding since there are no permanent rewards or, at the bare minimum, cosmetics to obtain. You end the game the exact same way you started it. Actually, that's what I would say if that was the case, but in truth you become worse the more you progress through the campaign. While you don't get any better, the enemy AI decides to just ascend into Godhood, constantly becoming stronger, more coordinated, more intelligent, more aggressive, and somehow always larger in number. They also upgrade faster than you, restore fallen legions faster than you, and on top of all these advantages they start off owning 90% of the level's territory with farms and armies already established before you even spawn a single soldier. Farming is also garbage. Resources are incredibly slow to obtain and everything is absurdly expensive. If you try to acquire more nests to gain sensible wealth accumulation without investing a good bit of time into building expensive defenses , they will destroy them within 30 seconds. It sounds like the solution would be to just take your time, enjoy the ride, slowly conquer territory, and progress safely. Nope. The game practically forces you to take ridiculous, often low-chance-of-success risks and expand at an extremely aggressive and unsafe rate. You can't take your time because the AI quickly gets very ambitious and starts sending armies on armies to obliterate your main nest. I'll be desperately picking up whatever scraps I can to afford tier 1 legions while they're sending multiple legions consisting of Tier 2 and Tier 3 soldiers at me. This game is so unbalanced it makes me constantly pull my hair out. These missions are substantial time investments, so getting 99% of the way there just to lose everything is more confidence-wrecking than your wife leaving you for a broke, old, fat dude named Gerald. Also, the defend-your-base missions are genuinely broken. The ant nests have barely any health and get absolutely crushed instantly, meanwhile they are scattered all across a gigantic, maze-like map and your legions move so slowly that most of the time the nest is already destroyed before they even get there. The only remotely decent thing about this game is that the graphics are amazing and an indie dev somehow put together the only Unreal Engine game I have ever played that has not had a single stutter or crash. It is unbelievably optimized. These developers are clearly talented and should continue making games, however they should NEVER, and I mean NEVER, be allowed to write a single line of code pertaining to a game's story, campaign progression, mission design, or balancing again.
Empire of Ants was a game I was really looking forward to because it looked unique. It does have a cool premises but ultimately falls flat after a few short hours. I lost interest and to be brutally honest, there isn't much to do. You can explore (which isn't very interest), command armies of ants (a very basic RTS) or play a platformer game (this is also part of the exploring process). The game looks gorgeous, but it still manages to feel lifeless and boring despite being surrounded by millions of ants and other bugs. It's simply missing a core loop gameplay that is fun. As far as multiplayer, I didn't get a chance to play coop but I have no doubt it's more of the same as playing solo. Best thing to do for this game is buy it on sale or don't buy it at all.
Pretty much all the content is shown off in the first 2 hours of the campaign after which it is just very repetitive. Quite disappointing
Got this to play in co-op and it was quite disappointing, 2vs2 AI co-op even set to the "easiest" the AI still feels over tuned and leads to a frustrating and boring snowball that feels oppressive. We also tried the Horde Mode and whilst it was slightly more enjoyable after a 30 minute run it still felt like there wasn't much more to see or do. Overall I cannot recommend this game.
I suckered myself into it when I saw it on sale. Excellent graphics and smooth game play, 5 stars for both of those. Very immersive in the eyes and world of an ant. Severely lacking on the multiplayer community. Another RTS where you can't find anyone else to actually enjoy the game. This makes it a campaign based game with skirmish and horde modes against AI. As I've personally played thousands of hours of RTS, I started to find a lack of enjoyment in story and AI skirmish rather quickly. The inability to place strategic structures at your own discretion, or in this case ant burrows, is probably another detrimental factor for new players. However, I can see how the race to secure the ant hills on the map can be invigorating as that aspect is shared in other successful RTS like Halo Wars which I thoroughly enjoyed. But for Age of Empires players and beyond, I can imagine it more as a hindrance. I may finish the campaign but lack of multiplayer community is demoralizing. Summary: Fun, simple strategy aspects, amazing graphics and smooth gameplay. No community to play with. RTS are meant for player vs. player and without that component it's not worth the time.
its good if there is more to play the story was 2 small
Сначала игра очень понравилась, но чем дальше играл, тем меньше восторга получал. Я ожидал именно стратегию, а не платформер с прыжками по кочкам над водой. После задания охоты на светлячков дропнул игру. Очень жаль, нарратив мне нравился.
Fascinating game, cool concept of being the general and controlling your armies and taking over nest, the story is very good and cant wait to try co-op and multiplayer.
C’est avec beaucoup de déception que je laisse un avis négatif. Quand j’ai appris que Microïds sortait un nouveau *Les Fourmis* après 26 ans, j’étais enthousiaste. Les premières minutes de jeu sont d’ailleurs prometteuses : la caméra rapprochée à la troisième personne, le contrôle de 103ᵉ (qui colle au plafonds !) et les graphismes superbes sont une véritable réussite et donnent immédiatement envie d’explorer cet univers. Mais une fois la manette en main, la magie retombe vite. Le gameplay est d’une pauvreté déconcertante, au point de rappeler certains jeux mobiles. On devine pourtant de très bonnes idées, mais elles ne sont exploitées qu’au strict minimum. C’est d’autant plus frustrant que les bases existaient déjà. Reprendre les mécaniques du jeu de 2000 en y intégrant les nouveautés et la mise en scène de cette version aurait pu donner quelque chose d’exceptionnel. J’aurais sincèrement aimé recommander ce jeu, ne serait-ce que pour soutenir un studio pour lequel j’ai de la sympathie. Malheureusement, aussi soigné soit l’emballage, il ne suffit pas à compenser ce qu’il manque à l’intérieur.
