A direct upgrade from the original Spartan Assault. More weapons, vehicles, enemies (Prometheans), etc. This time the story takes place after the events of Halo 4 and I find it to be a little bit stronger compared to the first one. Probably what helps is the fact that you have a handler that guides you through the missions. She's a little generic, but she reminds me a little of how Cortana works in the original games: someone to keep you company and call out objectives. The missions are much longer than before and I think this was a great change. The original had these short ass levels that were literally five minutes long sometimes. This time around, you're spending at least ten minutes and it feels like an actual mission. Achievements are more difficult compared to the original. The Vidmaster ones make an return, but this time there are five and they do not mess around. I would recommend looking up a guide for some as they can be quite tricky, especially the one where you cannot get hit by the beam turrets. Last thing: The soundtrack is surprisingly great. You wouldn't expect that from a game like this, but multiple times I found myself saying, "Damn I need to look up this song later" while playing. Bravo. I got this one super cheap in a bundle with Spartan Assault for $1.24 and it's definitely worth that price. I'd say it's even worth the original price with the amount of content present. If you're a fan of Halo, this one is for you.
Hey kiddo, Handsome Jack here... and I just played Halo: Spartan Strike, and apparently someone looked at Halo: Spartan Assault and thought, “You know what this needs? More Covenant, more Prometheans, and exactly the same camera angle that makes you feel like you're operating a very expensive military-themed Roomba.” Honestly? I respect the commitment. You play as a Spartan running around from a top-down perspective, shooting Covenant and Prometheans, throwing grenades, driving vehicles, collecting weapons, and generally turning every battlefield into a small-scale alien extermination operation. It's Halo. But someone put it on a security camera. The weapons are still fun, though. Assault rifles, shotguns, sniper rifles, rockets, plasma weapons, all the classics. You can pick up a powerful weapon and immediately start feeling like the most dangerous person on the planet. Then five seconds later you walk into a group of enemies and realize you're actually playing a top-down panic simulator. And the Prometheans? Oh, good. Robots. Because apparently shooting aliens wasn't enough. Now I have to deal with teleporting robot dogs, floating robot things, giant robot things, and whatever other mechanical nightmare the Forerunners decided to leave lying around. Fantastic. The missions are short and arcade-like, with challenges and scoring encouraging you to replay them. That's probably where the game works best. You're not here for some massive cinematic Halo experience. You're here to jump in, shoot a ridiculous number of enemies, chase a better score, and get out. The biggest problem is that it can get repetitive. The top-down perspective works, but it also makes encounters feel less personal than the mainline games. There's something about watching a tiny Spartan run around the screen that makes the legendary super-soldier feel less like humanity's greatest weapon and more like an exceptionally angry chess piece. Still, the gameplay is solid, the Halo atmosphere is there, and it's a decent little spin-off. 7/10, kiddo. Fun, fast, and perfectly acceptable if you want some bite-sized Halo chaos. Not essential, not revolutionary, but definitely not a waste of your time. I'd give it an 8, but apparently nobody thought to let me replace the Spartan with a tiny Handsome Jack figurine carrying a microscopic rocket launcher. Absolute failure in merchandising.
Nota Geral | Overall Rating ⭐⭐⭐ Halo: Spartan Strike é basicamente mais do mesmo em relação ao Spartan Assault, o que não é exatamente um elogio. A 343 Industries mantém a fórmula top-down praticamente intacta, com pequenos ajustes que não chegam a justificar uma experiência muito distinta do primeiro spin-off. Funciona como mais uma dose rápida de ação no universo Halo, mas continua sendo um jogo que "não fede nem cheira", competente o suficiente pra passar o tempo, sem deixar impressão duradoura depois que os créditos sobem. Halo: Spartan Strike is basically more of the same compared to Spartan Assault, which isn't exactly a compliment. 343 Industries keeps the top-down formula practically intact, with small tweaks that don't really justify a much different experience from the first spin-off. It works as another quick dose of action in the Halo universe, but it's still a game that's "neither here nor there," competent enough to pass the time, without leaving a lasting impression once the credits roll. Jogabilidade | Gameplay ⭐⭐⭐ A jogabilidade é praticamente idêntica à de Spartan Assault, com o mesmo esquema de combate top-down e o mesmo arsenal reconhecível do universo Halo. As pequenas adições, como novos veículos e algumas habilidades, não são suficientes pra mudar significativamente a fórmula, e o combate continua caindo na mesma repetitividade depois de algumas horas de jogo. The gameplay is practically identical to Spartan Assault's, with the same top-down combat scheme and the same recognizable Halo universe arsenal. The small additions, like new vehicles and some abilities, aren't enough to significantly change the formula, and the combat still falls into the same repetitiveness after a few hours of play. Duração | Duration ⭐⭐⭐ A duração segue o mesmo padrão do jogo anterior, nem curta o suficiente pra parecer incompleta, nem longa a ponto de justificar muito replay. É possível terminar em algumas sessões, e depois disso o motivo pra voltar é praticamente o mesmo de Spartan Assault: tentar pontuações mais altas nas fases já completadas. The length follows the same pattern as the previous game, neither short enough to feel incomplete, nor long enough to justify much replay. It's possible to finish it in a few sessions, and after that the reason to return is practically the same as Spartan Assault's: trying for higher scores on already-completed stages. Enredo | Story ⭐⭐⭐ O enredo se passa entre os eventos de Halo 4 e Halo 5, mais uma vez preenchendo uma lacuna temporal da série, mas com a mesma execução genérica do jogo anterior. Não há reviravoltas memoráveis ou momentos que se destaquem, é apenas mais um conflito contado de forma funcional, sem ambição narrativa real. The plot takes place between the events of Halo 4 and Halo 5, once again filling a timeline gap in the series, but with the same generic execution as the previous game. There are no memorable twists or standout moments, it's just another conflict told in a functional way, without any real narrative ambition. Visual ⭐⭐⭐ O visual mantém o mesmo padrão de Spartan Assault, competente pra um jogo desse porte, com o design reconhecível do universo Halo transposto pra perspectiva top-down. Não há avanços técnicos significativos em relação ao jogo anterior, mas também não há regressão, o visual simplesmente cumpre o básico. The visuals maintain the same standard as Spartan Assault, competent for a game of this scope, with the recognizable Halo universe design translated to the top-down perspective. There are no significant technical advances compared to the previous game, but there's no regression either, the visuals simply cover the basics. Áudio | Audio ⭐⭐⭐ A trilha sonora continua remetendo bem à identidade musical da série, sem faixas particularmente marcantes fora desse contexto. Os efeitos sonoros de combate cumprem seu papel de forma funcional, mantendo o mesmo nível do jogo anterior sem nenhuma evolução notável. The soundtrack continues to evoke the series' musical identity well, without particularly memorable tracks outside that context. The combat sound effects do their job in a functional way, maintaining the same level as the previous game without any notable evolution.
A decent experience, if you're a Halo fan or like isometric shooters, gameplay has enough variety and the graphics are okay, the story does the bare minimum tho... I bought this game to have fun on my SteamDeck when I don't know what to do in bed and it does the job quite well, grab it on sales, it can be bought for less than 1€...
