Army Antz™ ($0.99 → Free, 284.6 MB): Command a team of Antz and bring down the queen in Army Antz. It’s for fans of real-time strategy games.

Your mission is to clear the way to the enemy’s lair and take down the queen before they’re able to do the same to you. Army Antz allows you to choose from 13 types of Antz, each with its own class of weapon. You only get five, however, so choose wisely.
