April 2025
This game was way better than it had any right being. Took 4 hours to do the A-F campaigns on the easiest difficulty, which was still challenging and stressful enough for me. I usually like my games on the easier side, so take that into consideration. + THE ENEMY AI IS VERY SOLID. Pardon my caps, but it feels straight out of Halo. Enemies would sneak into a turret in your own camp and use it against you, run if their shield is damaged, chase you around cover, leave turrets before they explode, and so on. I was impressed. + Graphics look fine. + Gameplay was tense and solid. I kept running out of ammo and grabbing guns frantically. + Music and sound effects are very Halo. + The story is whatever, but fine. + Random tip if you are not good at games like me, the Overshield seems by far the best upgrade to make levels easier if you can afford it. A few cons: - The XP system feels very weird on the easiest difficulty. You earn hardly any XP, which means I never got to use the advanced weapons besides the sniper rifle a couple times. I assume adding more skulls gives you more chances to use weapons, but it would have been nice to have more XP as an easy mode option. - Some voice lines are repetitive. - The ending was very abrupt, just a cinematic and suddenly you're back at the menu. - There is a weird bug with Steam input. I had to unplug my controller adapter and replug it once the game started. Otherwise the game crashes on launch. This seems to be a known thing.

A good game with perhaps the most god-awful 100% I've done yet. Base game is great! Nice Halo twin-stick shooter, all the guns feel unique and serve their purpose well, and it's challenging without feeling a slog. 100%ing it wouldn't be bad if it weren't for the assault ops. The only way to check progress on them is to leave the level, go to a separate menu, and click through each level until you find the one you need and figure the requirements from there. Which still wouldn't be too bad if the ops were reasonable. You'll have to play through a single level dozens of times in order to create one mission (three for each level) because you have to kill a specific enemy that only spawns in small numbers at the very end or kill them with grenades you only spawn with three of. The ops made a 4-5 hour game take closer to 20 . Absolute slog. Good base game, bad achievements.

Finished the game. A cheap game, fairly short, story isn't amazing, gameplay is ok. Its one of those arcade kind of games which you play every once in a while or finish in one sitting and don't take too seriously. You will have average amount of fun playing it. For the price I would say its ok.

Halo: Spartan Assault and Halo: Spartan Strike on sale is an absolute steal! Both Halo's are addictive shooters that retain enough of the look and elements of the Halo universe. The varied miniature missions fit the top-down play style perfectly. These worked great on my steam deck, nice and easy to pick up and play instantly. I recommend if you want some nostalgic Halo :D

A fun little top down shooter combat simulation game in the halo universe. Not a bad game, but far from a strong one. good music though.
