Introduction to Rats Invasion 2

You wouldn’t think defending a farmhouse from hordes of rabid rodents could feel so rewarding, but Rats Invasion 2 somehow nails that crazy thrill. Every level drops you into a new environment—rusty barns, flooded subways, even the dusty alleys behind a carnival—and it’s up to you to barricade doors, lay traps and siphon off cheese trophies to power up your defenses. The tutorial eases you in with simple mouse clicks and drag-and-drop tower placements, but by the time you’re juggling explosive cheese bombs, freeze turrets and electrified fences, you’ll be hooked on strategizing your next move.

What really sells it is the variety of rat types: you get slow, lumbering brutes that soak up damage, speedy little scamperers that try to slip through cracks, and even sneaky gliders that bypass ground traps entirely. Between waves you can cash in your cheese currency to unlock new weapons or upgrade existing ones—think flamethrower turrets, rat catchers that snare multiple foes at once, and giant mechanical mousetraps that pound everything in sight. It can be a bit of a balancing act, but seeing your customized defense grid stand firm against the onslaught never gets old.

I also love how the sequel sprinkles in co-op mode so you and a buddy can tag-team the rodent rebellion. You’ll trade resources, ping the map for incoming surprises, and debate whether it’s wiser to shore up weaknesses or go all-out offensive. And when you finally topple a boss rat—complete with its own cheesy theme tune—it’s the kind of satisfying payoff that keeps you clicking “Play Again.” Even if you only have ten minutes between meetings or classes, Rats Invasion 2 fits the bill for a quick, mouse-chewing romp.
