  It looked good, however it appears all I can do are missions, the only controls over the queen is to make larva and mabey move every now and then, and finally, why are their no soilder ants. You have workers, diggers, and nurces, but no soilders. Not very open world game either. It also appears that you cant dig as to where you desire, you automatically dig into one or 2 general directions. Why do I have to go through all these little missions, if all I want to do is build a colony. Game is good, however it needs aloooooot more in my opinion. So you might want to keep it for early access. Until I see even one such improvements, Im afraid I cant recomend this game.

  Ant Queen is not intended to be an open simulation. Instead there are missions that go through the development of a colony at a relaxed pace. Even as a relaxed game, the decision points felt too few to be entertaining. Player interaction includes selecting forage spots, initiating an egg and targetting threats. In between these interactions are long stretches of waiting. Players do not direct the building of the nest or make strategic decisions. The long delays between simple decisions made for a boring game.

  So I just have to say. Maybe I would play this on my Iphone and I had some time to kill at the DMV or something. Its really just the same thing over and over. I cant stress enough this should be a phone game. At most this should be a 5.99 or less game. NOT WORTH it at the current price. I requested a refund. I really wanted this to be a fun game but over an hour of the same 5 things over and over I just couldnt take it.

  Ant control is buggy and unresponsive most the time it is one of those point and click time killers which I have nothing against own a few I enjoy but this is not ready for a monday release as it stands. Ants become lost from ground to surface getting stuck in one place or another while enemy travels freely picking you off one at time time. More ants you have sooner you see this. So my review as of now is its a bad port that has been rushed.

  I love ants and I have real ants in a so called formicarium at home. It's so sad there are no ant games out there and I was so excited to find this game. But it was realized so bad that it hurts.

  no sandbox mode lack of controls distinct lack of resources in terms of food during the missions which result in you starving to death. Some missions you need a certain ant and the next you dont so you have 15 ants doing NOTHING as you cant even get them to random task in that mission... fucking shit game 10/10 would not tell anyone to buy.

  Game has a lot of potential, but as is it is pretty lame. I got this because I remember having so much fun playing SimAnt back in 1991 on PC. Sadly, SimAnt as far as open gameplay is still far superior than this game. This game needs an open sandbox mode, with ability to dig tunnels to expand the colony, soldier ants, and rival colonies that have to be handled. There is so much potential here!

  So I noted that there were some issue with this game but I decided to buy it when I read the developer's reply that they actually were listening and adapting their game to make it more enjoyable as well as building a sandbox mode. You folks get major respect in my book for that. I bought the game and it's fun and well built. It needs a bit of balancing on availability of food as well as a few other tweeks that most of my fellow gamers noted, but I've been waiting for a type of game like this to come out and am utterly pleased to see that the developers are working hard to hit our expectations. I'll be following these peeps to see what they come up with next.

  Very interesting at the start. There are different ant castes, stages of developement, a reasonably good 'pheremone trail' system, but beyond that it gets old real quick. Story mode is annoying (meant to teach you how to play the game, like a tutorial) in that most lessons are overly drawn out, and tedious, not fun. I quit seven lessons in and switched to Endless Mode, where I found I didn't need the Story Mode beyond about lesson five. In Endless Mode you play against one other colony that is very easy to beat on all difficulties. It's fun while it lasts, but it doesn't last nearly long enough. They would improve the game a lot, I think, if they made the Story Mode lessons shorter, and if they added the ability to fight against more than just one other colony. Maybe throw in a Creative Mode, where you can just experiment with spawning in other bugs, and enemy ants, or a War Mode, where the other colony actually, you know, survives, and developes, and hey, maybe even puts up a good attempt at 'war'.
