At this price, is Les Fourmis a good deal?
Less than €25 is a very good deal for a title that is far from perfect, but which will captivate its audience with its unique style, as long as they have an interest in ants and other garden insects. Microids, accustomed to adapting licenses (The Smurfs, Asterix and Obelixor more recently Tintin Reporter – The Cigars of the Pharaoh) knows how to make an effective game on a small budget. Of course, the gameplay doesn’t invent anything, but the Unreal Engine 5 does wonders to bring the fascinating world of ants to life.
It’s a shame, however, that the user interface is a little dated and often intrusive. Fortunately, nothing prohibitive to enjoy an original title overall, during the twenty hours that the game lasts.
