Halo: Spartan Strike is nothing more than a filler in the main saga, but once you acknowledge that, you'll find a pretty good twin-stick shooter, with a good setting and solid gameplay. The multiplayer would have earned it a higher score.

We need to take this game as a spin-off with a mobile nature. If you don't expect a full-size Halo, it's worth your time.

Eu finalmente tive acesso ao jogo e, apesar de ter amado ambos Halo Wars ( 1 e 2 ) e gostado bastante de Spartan Assault, achei Strike o pior, em questão de mecânicas e controles foi uma evolução e tanto, mas o jogo sofre por não ter um enredo maior e tentar ser o mais filler o possível, diferente dos dois Wars que tem enredos ótimos que se encaixam perfeitamente na linha do tempo de Halo, mostrando Jerome e o resto da Red Team, até mesmo fazendo ligações com Halo 5: Guardians e Spartan Assault que contava mais sobre a Comandante Palmer, Strike é parecido com Spartan Ops de Halo 4, somos um Spartan fulano de tal e vamos em algumas missões muito bem feitas enfrentar inimigos clássicos da série. Os inimigos tiveram uma ótima evolução no jogo, juntamente com o seu arsenal e o jogo rodou bem no meu PC. Eu recomendo Spartan Strike pra quem quer se divertir por algumas horas sem muito compromisso, e para os fãs da série, infelizmente falta história, mas ainda assim foi um ótimo jogo, sua trilha sonora é muito boa e ele tem conteúdo o bastante pra te divertir por muitas horas.

Classic isometric action packed adventure that takes place during the Halo 2 events. Linear and too familiar, but still interesting enough for Halo aficionados.

While the lack of multiplayer is disappointing, it features more than enough loadout options to add variety that it warrants repeat playthroughs.

Some fun twin stick shooting but the bird's eye view removes any Halo nuance. [June 2015, p.65]

Even the Halo brand can’t save Spartan Strike with its short linear levels, long boring shootouts with dumb enemies and a silly story.

It's a great game, but there are some features that make it a little sloppy. Some stationary turrets as Shade and Gun just do not get hot. So you can be shooting at will. It makes the game easier sometimes. And some missions of Operation A seems like a tutorial, as if you were learning to play... However, there are more vehicles, weapons and grenades (both UNSC as Covenant), and more Armor Abilities that we saw in the previous game, Spartan Assault. We also have new enemies, some more challenging... The gameplay is a little confusing for those who came from Spartan Assault. The change of weapons and grenades are in different keys (1 and 2, from keyboard respectively). And now, we have an assistant (not Cortana, of course), who tells you the objectives of the mission, which makes the game a litte bit more interesting. And to get some achievements, we have to play with certain skulls selected, which makes the game very hard... The Soundtrack is similar to the predecessor game. And the Storyline is interesting. Halo: Spartan Strike is not a big deal, but it's cool and fun, really.

Everything was good, except one thing. Enemies felt too strong, and yet too dumb. which means you need strength much more than intelligence. bad news: you can't get enough strength to stop the game from getting boring, while you have a plenty of useless intelligence.

Spartan Strike takes what works with Spartan Assault, and effectively gives it a pretty yet harder coat of paint. Seriously, I don't know why people suggest that Assault was the harder game when the AI and mobs just work better within this game. You still get the typical one life to live and no checkpoints throughout, but what really makes Spartan Strike so difficult is how long some of the levels are.This isn't to say that Spartan Strike is like a full Halo campaign that lasts 9 hours with full meaty missions, but rather the levels in Strike often run just a little too long, and you end up dying on the last wave having to start all over again. On top of that, there is more pressure to get the side missions as they are projected at the loading screen of each mission, and cumulative throughout runs of each level. The main problem with such a mission tho is that you aren't given the name of the weapon while playing during the game; which makes a lot of these side missions guessing games despite how different each gun looks.Despite the slightly higher difficult, side quests, and length of each mission; Spartan Strike is the easier game to score gold in, and a lot of that has to do with constant engagement with enemies, more vehicle play, and the better overall graphics. Legitimately being able to see more details within each model, the constant atmosphere change of each overall mission, and better UI of aiming really makes Spartan Strike less **** game, and more of a skilled one. Not to say Spartan Assault required no skill, but each death in Spartan Strike felt like my fault rather than a simple misread of the map. While I don't think the graphics of twin stick shooters matter all that much, Spartan Strike clearly showed me they do impact a lot more than I thought, and I have to say I enjoyed exploring newer maps that weren't simple rocks and war tore areas.I'm really divided between which game I like more, and I think a lot of that has to do with the mindless fun that Assault gives over the more interesting campaign of Strike. If someone where to ask me which is the better game, Strike easily wins, but if you were to ask me which I enjoyed more, it honestly feels like it's more of a toss up. Regardless Halo Spartan Strike is an enjoyable game that I think every Halo fan would like to run through at least once, and still a great reminder that Halo works for the genre of twin stick shooters.

This game is pretty okay to me. While It does a good job of recreating the iconic Halo FPS gameplay from a top-down perspective, its story and multiplayer (or lack thereof), are this game and its predecessor's biggest downfall. I am being hard on it because they had a whole game before this to show them what to do better next time, and they failed to improve upon Spartan Assault, in fact, I don't think they even attempted. First, the story. While it is cool to have the UNSC simulation running you through previous events in the Halo universe, they wasted the even better possibility for an original storyline simply because they were lazy. What is the point of a sequel if it doesn't build on the prequel's flaws? A prefect example of this is from Halo 1 to Halo 2. Halo 2 added new guns, new locations, new characters, and new enemies to the table, and generally improved upon the already fantastic prequel, so it was not just the same old gameplay and story from before. It gives people a reason to keep coming back or even buy it in the first place. The story does however take place in a simulation of the Battle of New Mombasa, which is from my favorite Halo game. Having multiplayer is one thing that could keep people coming back. When I heard Spartan Assault was getting a sequel, me and others were hoping for multiplayer. I don't hate this game. I really don't. I enjoy it for what it is, but I am being hard on it because I know they can do better. If people call them out on this and give their opinions, they will listen, like all developers should. I hope 343 will listen to my and others' opinions and Spartan 3, if it even comes out, could be better. This game was really just made to promote and benefit from Halo 5's hype. It is only $2.99, so I recommend people try it out. Different people have different opinions, and you might love it. There are a lot of redeeming qualities, such as the vehicles and weapon variety, but I know they could do better, as they have demonstrated with Halo 4 and Halo Wars 2. It is not great, and I could not recommend it if it had a higher price, but for $2.99, you cant beat it, and I guarantee you will have fun and be entertained for a couple days. All in all, I am not bashing this game, I am just criticizing it. Please buy this game. I don't hate it, I just know they could have done a lot of things better, and maybe they will be fixed it future games. Maybe even a full-length fully-featured game based on this concept. I know I would buy it.
