Ant Wars is a real-time strategy game in which you control an army of ants whose sole purpose is to wipe out any other ant colony in the area. There are three different types of ants to choose from, each with their own strengths. The black ants specialize in propogation making it easier for them to take over anthills and grow their population rapidly. The red ants focus on speed. They scurry over to new anthills and beat the other races to the punch. The brown ants have a slight boost on speed and propogation, but it is at the expense of agility, which means they absorb greater losses when defending or attacking an anthill.

Screenshots:

Controls are tight. Simply tap on one of your anthills and then tap on an enemy anthill and a stream of ants leaves to attack. Once multiple anthills are controlled, select multiple anthills to send a massive swarm to attack your enemy. Need to send reinforcements to a battle weakened anthill? Simple. Select the anthill(s) from which you want to send reinforcements and double-tap the weakened anthill.
Ant Wars Free is a fun strategy game. In this free version any kind of hardcore thinking man's strategy is absent. Simply swarm the empty anthills, multiply, and swarm the enemy anthills. In the free version victory is totally achievable by continuously selecting all of your hills and sending them to one enemy anthill after another. The lack of strategy in this free version keep it from getting a better score. I will give Ant Wars Free a 6 out of 10.
The full version of Ant Wars came out on August 15, and a review will follow shortly, after I have had a chance to give it a really good playhrough.
