Empires of the Undergrowth, the ant-powered RTS joins the Hooded Horse banner

From Press Release:

Hooded Horse is excited to announce ant-themed strategy game Empires of the Undergrowth, from Slug Disco Studios, has joined our portfolio of world-class strategy, simulation, and RPGs. This RTS/management game challenges players to lead a colony of formidable formicidae to prosperity and glory out in the wilderness.

Players manage their workers and expand their colony by sending out legions of ants into the world to take over other nests, eliminate threats such as frogs and spiders, and more. Leave pheromone markers to control the behaviors of drones and ensure a steady supply of resources and food for the queen.

Empires of the Undergrowth has been in early access since 2017 and has grown tremendously with over five years of regular content updates including new species (Fire Ants!), new modes (auto-battle style Tug of War), new maps, and more. Hooded Horse will be bringing its marketing expertise to bear as it helps Slug Disco with the game’s transition to 1.0.

Empires of the Undergrowth has been localized into German, Simplified Chinese, Spanish, Russian, French, Czech, Dutch, Japanese, Korean, and Polish.
