Combining elements of SimAnt and Overlord, Ant Nation is a strategy title that lets players command an army of genetically enhanced black ants as they battle invading hordes of robotic alien ants. Players use their stylus to "train" their ants in a variety of ways -- from tapping on them to make them stronger, to dropping water on them to make them less susceptible to drowning, and even burning them to increase heat resistance -- with the ultimate goal of creating the most formidable Formicidae possible. There are nearly 100 missions in all, ranging from simple food gathering, to strengthening the colony, to waging an all-out war against the alien invaders.
