11 Bit Studios’ reverse tower defenseAnomaly: Warzone Earthwill be arriving on Mac and PC soon. Friday, April 8 is when it’ll first become available from Steam, GamersGate, and additional digital distribution outlets for an affordable $9.99.

Aliens, being the jerks that they are, have invaded. Rather than blowing up courageous, forward-marching soldiers from on high, you play as the turret fodder. Abilities and strategic thinking are at your disposal, however, so it’s not simply a matter of running in a straight line until the troops survive a gauntlet.

The game seems rather cool, and the price is right. Experimentation in this genre is always welcome.
