About

Antdom

Features
Read full description

Build an ant empire from a single queen. Antdom is a real-time strategy game about growing an underground ant colony. Dig a sprawling nest tunnel by tunnel, raise your family, and go to war with a rival colony sharing the same soil. Only one queen can rule. DIG & BUILD • Carve out tunnels and chambers: queen's room, food storage, nursery, and sleeping rooms. • Your nest slowly decays and must be maintained — keep your builders busy. ASSIGN YOUR WORKERS • Balance Builders and Foragers with a simple slider. • Draft Soldiers when danger approaches (careful — soldiers can't go back to work!). • Numbers rebalance automatically so your ratio always makes sense. SURVIVE & GROW • Feed your queen so she keeps laying eggs; carry eggs to the nursery to hatch new workers. • Well-fed colonies fight harder. If your family is nearly wiped out, the queen breeds emergency workers to survive. • Day and night cycle: the whole colony sleeps, then a new morning begins. WAGE WAR • Launch an all-out attack on the rival nest, or dig in and defend. • Home advantage: ants fighting inside their own nest attack faster. • Take down the enemy queen to win. FREE TO PLAY • Free with occasional ads. • Play in English or Japanese (switch anytime). Can your colony rise to rule the underground? Long live the queen!
