Dirtborn: Colony Rising

Colony building

Dirtborn: Colony Rising is a PC ant-colony strategy game with online matches for up to four players. You begin with a master ant and a queen, then dig tunnels, choose where to put the nursery and food stores, and decide how to protect the queen as she lays eggs. You can give orders to the other ants in your colony at any time.

Survival and threats

Your colony must find food and defend its tunnels against enemy colonies, spiders, and wasps. Rain can flood the nest and wipe out your progress. Longer games can stretch to 15 hours or more, with survival through winter and the effort to conquer other colonies among the goals.
