Halo: Spartan Strike

Just like with Spartan Assault, I have the same fun-killing issues. It's just as simplistic as befits a port of a mobile game and it even has more style, with some gorgeous backgrounds and overlays to sell this game as being set in a full on invasion...very cool! Which is why it's such a shame that, again, just like with Spartan Assault, my twin sticks in this twin stick shooter are not always read. It's more than a little gamebreaking to have my elite, post-human ubermensch Spartan just stop in the middle of the battlefield or aim wherever they please instead of the alien fanatic running up on him like CJ from San Andreas just walked into the wrong hood. Just like with Spartan Assault, again, you can skip adding this to your library.

Fun twin stick shooter, much better than Spartan Assault. Fine addition to the Halo franchise, good enough to spend an afternoon or two enjoying it's gameplay. One problem I have with Spartan Strike is the requirement to get gold medals on all previous missions to unlock last chapter. It's not difficult at all but it's artificially making the game longer than it should be.

It's a mobile game ported to PC? Why would macrohard do this?

The idea of a Halo top down shooter could be genuinely awesome but Microsoft or any studio will not take the concept seriously and actually translate the games into an actual top down shooter that has depth. Other than it not really feeling like Halo or anything inspired. Its frankly kind of boring, Windows 8 store slop. There is nothing this game really does well or differently. Its not even that bad -- theres just nothing its actually good at.

It's okay for the price.

To the devs team; pls opt this game into GFN. Thx.
