May 3, 2023 - Slug Disco Studios and Hooded Horse are pleased to announce that the final installment in real-time strategy game Empires of the Undergrowth’s “Sequel Season” of bonus scenarios is here. The Culling 2 takes players back to the swamp, where they must survive for six nights against legions of nighttime invaders.
Everyone’s favorite Pheidole morrisii (or big-headed ants to the rest of us) feature in their first stand-alone level, and these formidable formicidae will help you hold the line as they charge and crush their enemies with a single bite. Players must try to manage enemy numbers during the day while also gathering food to survive the night because if left unchecked, the enemy will build up until the colony is overwhelmed.
The “Sequel Season” is a series of bonus scenarios that offer players a fresh take on levels added to Empires of the Undergrowth in past updates. Occupation 2, Tug of War 2, and most recently, Enemy of My Enemy 2 all offer new challenges for their respective locations, and The Culling’s second outing will cap off the season in style in the North Carolina swamps.
Empires of the Undergrowth is available in early access on PC via Steam, GOG, and the Epic Games Store for $19.99 / £17.99 / €19.99 / ¥2,480. A press kit is available.
