About Empires of the Undergrowth

Forge your empire in the world of ants, building extensive nests and managing an intricate hierarchy in a way that puts the real-time strategy genre under the microscope. Control a variety of warrior ant species in intense battles, command your workers to build and supply an ever-expanding base, and protect your queen at all costs while navigating the unique threats and opportunities of the insect world. . . . Hundreds of warriors clash in a melee of gnashing mandibles as formic acid artillery fires overhead. Nightfall has come and the last of the workers are rushing back underground, dodging beetles to deliver food to the nest. The stockpile is empty, and without more, reinforcements will not hatch for the ongoing war between the duelling Empires of the Undergrowth. . Starting from a central room hosting your queen, order your workers to develop and optimise your nest – a vast network of store rooms, nurseries, and hallways. Dig through a hex-based maze of soil and bedrock, seeking food and fending off other underground dwellers. . . Push beyond the confines of your nest to see what the world above has to offer – with seeds, nectar, fungus, other insects, and even amphibians on

Hard to put down

When I got this game many years ago, I had an incredible time, now, 7 years later, the game has finally been finished and after beating the final story mission. I gotta say, thank you Slug Disco, for this amazing experience. I lack the works to properly describe how euphoric I am after completing the final mission, after waiting all these years, for the perfect ending no one would have expected. This game isn't just some game about ants, its an experience with ants. You'll travel across the globe, discovering new ants and having an amazing time playing each and every one. This game is a work of art and I don't use that term lightly. This is a game that will be looked upon years later as an instant classic. I just know it. Too all the people over at slug disco, thank you. thank you for making my childhood special and for making my teenage years even more special. Its because of this game that I have grown such a fondess for the small world around me and all the beautiful beings that live in it. I wish you only the best of luck in your next endeavors

This is the best 30$ I spent on something!

This is the best 30$ I spent on something! I have 463 hrs on this game at the moment and I liked every bit of it; It has cool music, levels and mechanics. I wouldn't say anything bad about this game. It improved my love for invertebrates by so much and now Im an Antkeeper and I also keep other insects and arachnids like The northern dune tiger beetle [cicindela hybrida], devil's coach horse beetle [ocypus olens] and so much more! Thank you for making this excellent game!
