Tap! magazine (score: 5/5): "It's pretty much Ants vs Zombies, but Ant Raid's controls are more organic than those in PopCap's game, and the oddball sense of humour and design is, if anything, superior."
------------------
"While Ant Raid is definitely a more casual take on traditional RTS games, it's skillfully done. The iPad-centric game is polished, fun, and great looking."
- Slide To Play (score: 4/4, "Must Have")

"Vous l'aurez compris, ce petit jeu qu'est Ant Raid nous aura vraiment séduits et je le classerai volontiers dans les jeux du type Angry Birds, c'est-à-dire ceux que l'on prend en main et que l'on ne veut plus lâcher."

Phenomenal First Effort

I'd never heard of Ant Raid or developer Prank before, but after seeing the game's basic info on the New section of the App Store decided to give this one a look. Research showed me it's the company's first effort, but having spent some time with the game I can safely say Ant Raid is one of my favorite apps (and I spend a lot of time gaming). The premise is simple, but surprisingly unique: you protect a home base and send groups of ants out by clicking on them as they suuround the base, then click a target for that group among a variety of different bug enemies. It grows from there, offering added depth through differing enemies, squash powers gained through a meter that charges during battle, and management of ants as you decide how many to send after which enemies, how many to send after fallen ants to revive them, etc. It all adds up to an easy-to-grasp, fun-to-master game. Where Ant Raid really shines is in its production values: every inch of the game is dripping with polish, proving Prank's love for their creation: menus are colorful and fully-featured, gameplay is flawlessly tight, the maps and characters are beautiful and fluidly animated, and the story cutscenes surpass those of more story-driven apps that also cost twice as much as Ant Raid. This sort of full-featured, attention to every detail, solid core gameplay concoction is exactly the type of game every iPad developer should strive to achieve. I don't normally write reviews for games, but I also don't normally go out on a limb and buy reviewless apps. Prank's charming web page sold me that they're a team in it for the right reasons, and I'm very glad I tried Ant Raid out. I'd encourage anyone who's read this far to give this game a shot: you won't regret it, and we'd all benefit from seeing this new developer's initial effort succeed. I'd love to see what else they're capable of.

Superb! The epitome of a can't miss iPad experience!

Having purchased this, and played for a bit ... Ant Raid has magnetic pick up and play appeal. Ant Raid also has great strategy and inventive, engrossing ways to use the army of ants. It's like a hybrid of Pikmin, Plants vs Zombies, Cut The Rope - all rolled into a very polished and pristine package. The cinematic scenes are also very well done. This is probably one of my all time favorite games I've ever experienced on the AppStore. I've yet to have experienced a title this imaginative, polished, fun, whimsical and cute and above all - playable. There isn't a single element that doesn't gel. Well worth the time and money. The developers have obviously given Ant Raid their all. If you own an iPad and refuse to experience this title, you're missing out. I don't know how else to put this... Don't miss Ant Raid. It's worth every penny and then some. Maybe a future update could add iPad 2 texture increase, or bump mapping?... Either way, a beautiful game. I am not affiliated with the developer - I saw this headlined on TouchArcade. This is a repost of my impressions, from the game board there.

Fun and challenging

Cute design and special gaming way make it excellent!!!

Shallow gameplay makes this a bore.

Very repetitive gameplay. Hold down finger and drag to select a group of ants. Tap an incoming bug. Select another group of ants to wake the ants knocked unconscious. Repeat again and again. The cutscenes were well done, but even for a price of FREE this game is getting deleted after I finish this review.
