Insects Infestation takes you into the role of a single unit in an epic battle between three terran species more commonly known as ants, termites and wasps. In these great social structures you will combat the other species to ultimate victory.
When you enter as a player, you will have the choice of either becoming a worker or a soldier for your respective species.
