It's a simple homebrew app (or game launcher) that gives you an interface to launch your games and apps. I started this project for fun and for personal use but in the process it turned out to something really great so I decided to share it with you. SwitchView UI will turn your PS Vita in to a Nintendo Switch! (kinda.) The title of the app is SwitchView UI. It's best not to question the logistics here.SwitchView UI - Switch interface on Vita! VitaHEX The new units drop from the sky, and into perfect parade formation, the instant you buy them. Knocking out a few towers with this sorry platoon earns more money, and you add units so that you can take on the bigger targets. Before launching an assault, you receive a bit of pocket change with which to purchase a skeleton crew: maybe a couple of rolling gun turrets. Your army is a work in progress, too, thanks to your penny-pinching masters back at Anonymous Military Entity HQ. If you were working with pencil and paper, the map would be a mess of smudges and sweat by the time you reached the finish line. Thus you take a new tack, and another, and another. Often, the aliens spawn new turrets in a formerly peaceful-looking corner of the map – those smooth stretches of this pockmarked landscape are always tempting, and as such they ought to arouse suspicion. Maybe a bridge gets knocked out, or your need to backtrack and pick up some loot you missed. You'll adjust and redraw it countless times over the course of a level, for myriad reasons.
Is it hot out here, or is it just me, or is it just the three alien invaders shooting me with unimaginably powerful lasers? Must be me. Then you say "go." At this point, you start throwing out your stupid plan that was never going to work anyway. You choose your units, creating a balanced fighting force. You plot a path through a section of the alien-occupied city by drawing a dotted line on the map that will serve as marching orders. It's a look reminiscent of The Last Guy, albeit with more of a shiny Michael Bay sensibility.Īs you scan the map, a man on the radio gives you some vaguely military-sounding reason you're about to plunge into hell – like, say, gaining control of a radar complex. You view the cityscapes from directly overhead, with images seemingly based on satellite imagery. The setting is Baghdad in the first half of the game and Tokyo for most of the latter half. The makers of Anomaly asked, what if you switched that balance? And so they've produced a game where strategy still matters, but it's beholden to the second-by-second reality on the ground.Įach stage opens with the wide view, a map of the urban grid that you have to traverse. Since you can only make minor adjustments on the fly, the formula is 80 per cent preparation, 20 per cent improvisation. Most tower defence games play out the same way: You construct a defence and then brace yourself as the marauding hordes approach. OK, so we hang a right at Horrific Death-Ray Lane, and then a left onto There Is No God Boulevard. They haven't simply swapped roles they've re-engineered the form. The switcheroo could be considered a gimmick if the developers at 11 bit studios weren't so clever about it. Now I see what Patton enjoyed so much.Īnomaly is a reversal of the standard tower defence format: the evil, faceless aliens place towers along a path, and your troops attempt to survive their gauntlet. Yet at the end of a battle, the smoking earth seems to bear your outsized thumbprint. Your character never fires a weapon in fact, you're the tiniest thing on the screen – a mere mortal dancing through massive weaponry. When an alien invasion sets down in Baghdad, you're the commander on the ground, scampering around the battlefield in an exhausting effort to will your convoy of tanks and missile launchers into victory. In Anomaly: Warzone Earth, you play a traffic cop in the Patton mould.
He revels in his conception of a great commander: one who's willing to put his own boots in the muck. The image switches to a close shot of Patton, and he's beaming.
I'm talking about the scene where two tanks get stuck in mud during the Third Army's march across France, and General Patton hops out of his Jeep to direct traffic. No, not the one where he stands in front of the American flag and talks about shooting the Hun in the belly.

There's this famous scene in the movie Patton.
