Gameplay
Ant Raid has 104 levels: 60 story mode levels, 40 challenge mode levels, and four endless mode levels. The player must defend a base from enemies such as snails and giant bees by strategically managing squads of ants. Defeated enemies drop colored energy that provides temporary abilities: blue makes ants invulnerable, red makes ants faster, and combining both applies both effects at the same time. Green energy activates the "divine finger" effect, allowing the player to temporarily kill enemies directly by tapping the screen.
Reception
On Metacritic, the game has received "universal acclaim", based on eight critics.
Slide to Play praised Ant Raid's graphics, describing the game as having "terrific presentation, complete with detailed insects and beautifully rendered landscapes", and expressed that the game has "plenty of content and challenge" and called the 'divine finger' mechanic "absurdly fun".
