ANTS: Hive Warfare

Command an ant colony in a native real-time strategy game built for iPhone, iPad and Mac. Gather food, expand the hive, research biological evolution and improvised machinery, capture territory, survive hostile wildlife and break the rival colony before it breaks yours. A COMPLETE STRATEGY BATTLEFIELD • Build farms, chambers, workshops, depots, towers and a motor pool. • Train specialised infantry, from collectors and scouts to chemical troops, gunners, medics, mortar teams and commandos. • Deploy asymmetric vehicles including harvesters, transports, tanks, artillery and air units. • Research linked biological and mechanical technology branches. • Use attack-move, hold, stop, rally points, transports, repairs, numbered control groups and the tactical map. • Fight across seven distinct grounds with deformable terrain, cover, wildlife, living resource fields and neutral territory points. KNOW WHAT YOUR COLONY IS DOING • A red alert banner and a pulsing tactical-map marker tell you the moment your colony is attacked, and take you straight to the fighting. • An idle-forager control finds workers who have stopped earning. • Numbered squad chips keep your army one tap away. • Production readouts show exactly what is being built and how close it is. CAMPAIGN, SKIRMISH AND NEARBY MULTIPLAYER Play an eight-mission 3D campaign, configure human-versus-AI skirmishes, revisit the classic 2D campaign, or fight another commander on the same local network. Nearby multiplayer exchanges deterministic command frames rather than streaming the world, keeping both simulations in lock-step. DESIGNED FOR APPLE PLATFORMS ANTS uses native SwiftUI, SceneKit and SpriteKit interfaces, mouse and keyboard controls on Mac, touch controls on iPhone and iPad, adjustable 3D effects, optional haptics, independent music and battle-sound settings, Reduce Motion support and an accessibility representation for the custom tactical HUD. No account. No ads. No tracking. No in-app purchases. ANTS contains frequent stylised insect combat and optional stylised insect gore. Combat presentation can be reduced or turned off in Settings.
