In the years following the invasion of Earth in 2018, the planet is overrun by alien machines. Humankind is on the verge of extinction. Banded together in huge convoys, they search the frozen tundra for food and supplies. Since the war, the roles have been reversed: now our species seems to be the Anomaly on a machine-controlled planet. Your convoy, Commander, is called Yukon.
Anomaly 2 is a real-time strategy game that takes the tower offense concept from Anomaly Warzone Earth to a new level. Maintaining the core concepts of the original – tactical planning and the on-field Commander to support troops in combat – Anomaly 2 introduces a number of important new features:
It will be priced at $14.99.
The game does look AMAZING the graphics are quite beautiful, looking forward to this one!

Anomaly 2 is a real-time strategy game that takes the tower offense concept from Anomaly Warzone Earth to a new level. Maintaining the core concepts of the original – tactical planning and the on-field Commander to support troops in combat – Anomaly 2 introduces a number of important new features:
- Morph your troops into war mechs to discover the new face of strategy: each unit has a different mech form with various abilities to help you overcome specific combat situations.
- Engage in a multiplayer experience unique to Anomaly 2: tower defense vs. tower offense. Play as the towers and destroy the humans or lead the humans to annihilate the alien towers.
- Fight across a post-apocalyptic world in a new single-player campaign that offers a more intense strategy experience than the acclaimed original.
- Carve your own path to victory and create your ultimate battle squad. With more than a million tactical combinations to build your squad, your options in combat are nearly endless.
- Dive into a beautifully rendered world, thanks to the team’s new and improved visual engine.
- Experience alternative endings dependent upon your approach to enemy machines in the campaign.
It will be priced at $14.99.

I won't be buying it. I have good reason. They have terrible CS. http://steamcommunity.com/app/91200/discussions/0/864959088378262156/#p2

The admin of the official forum stated they are working to sort the bug but don't want to give an eta to make people annoyed if they miss it - fair enough.

That looks like an amazing upgrade in terms of graphical fidelity. I wonder about gameplay though. Shame there's no co-op.
After reading that thread avarisclari, I'm not so inclined to purchase Anomaly 2 now...
Just like Dungeon Defenders and Killing Floor. Leaving bugs in for months, till no one cares anymore. I even reported the textures bug on KFs forums, but no reply no update. Maybe Anomaly 2 won't be like this, but maybe it will too. Now I have doubt.

@liamdawe Which games are those exactly? I have 18 games installed on steam alone and the only one that fails to run is Anomaly:Warzone Earth . In any case i'd expect the devs to at least reach out to AMD and not a we don't know how to fix it reply. Additionally the game also fails to start on Intel drivers. When you keep in mind that the game actually runs on mobile phones that is not ok imo.
In any case, while Catalyst still has quite a bit of catching up to do compared to Nvidia it is no longer the unusable mess it was a couple of years ago

For one thing one of the recent AMD beta update drivers couldn't even load Steam at one point. They never seem to release change logs when they do a Linux drivers anymore (What are they hiding?!).
I don't have a list to hand of games that don't work or worked poorly since I am now an Nvidia user and a happy one too, things could have changed since I last used AMD but even 2~ months ago it wasn't great.

It's bad when they get angry at you for using GNU/Linux.:|

I'm not really a gamer, but after playing Amnesia and especially Trine2 on Ubuntu, I was getting excited about a new fun thing to do on Linux. Yesterday though I bought Anomaly, which I REALLY loved on my android phone, and thought it would be cool to see on the big screen. But unfortunately it didn't work.
I have a new Bonobo Extreme coming Monday and will give it another try. That may be one reason I'm not upset yet, because I expect Trine 2 to play a lot higher res on that one, and hopefully Anomaly works.
But in the meantime I bought Anomaly:Korea for my phone. Looks good!
I don't mind supporting this company in a new territory, and have some faith that they'll either fix it or I'll figure out a workaround, eventually, and even so, Anomaly on the phone was only a few bucks and I really loved it more than 15 dollars worth (considering the +$10 for Ubuntu)! I mean, games are really getting cheap these days distributed online...I remember having to pay 40-60 dollars for a decent cartridge game back in the day, so I have trouble understanding the anger that arises in reviews when a 3 dollar Android game doesn't work, especially considering that when it's really broken it's usually a one-click operation to get a refund if you catch it in 15 minutes. (Obviously 24 hours was better, but that policy was probably abused...a game like Anomaly can be beaten in that time). And, with some download issues on game content, the refund policy could be a little flawed (It took a few tries to get the download for Korea).
Anyway, it does kind of suck that Anomaly:Warzone Earth didn't just work for me.
