Anthill

Image & Form have announced their latest game for the Nintendo Switch, and it’s not quite a new one… It’s a port of Anthill, one of their earliest games, originally released on iOS. It will be released on October 24th in Europe and North America, and will cost 9.99€ / $9.99.

Here’s a trailer, some details, and the list of key features:

By drawing pheromone trails, you direct your ground forces to different destinations, working with streams of units rather than individuals. Similar to a tower defense game, your mission is to protect the hill as wave upon wave of enemy bugs are thrown at you.

• Tactical trail-defense based on ants!
• Draw! Strike! Defend! Eat what you kill!
• 100% dedicated to handheld play
