Still, this is a brilliantly put together single player game. Being able to blast through Covenant defences with a friend really would be the icing on the cake, and while there are leaderboards, it's not really the same. The biggest weakness here is probably the lack of multiplayer. The combat is nice and meaty, and while the controls aren't always perfect – in particular the double-tap grenade throw – they're solid enough most of the time that you won't notice. You've got buttons along the side of the screen that let you swap weapons, lob grenades, and use your armour power.Īn action button at the bottom allows you to poke buttons, pick things up, and jump into vehicles. You control your Spartan with two floating sticks, one controlling movement, the other aiming and firing your weapon. Run in all guns blazing and you might survive the first few, but you'll need to think a little more tactically the deeper you get into proceedings. The levels are just the right side of bite-sized, and offer a decent challenge as well. You're running around New Mombassa, whomping Promethean Knights, and driving tanks into squealing Grunts.
The game casts you as a Spartan stumbling through some tangential events in the Halo-verse. Plus it looks gorgeous, and it comes in a decently priced bundle with its sibling. It might not be an FPS, but there's still something decidedly Halo-y about the experience. It builds on Halo: Spartan Assault, and save for a few niggles here and there, it does a great job of transposing Halo's frantic gun-fights to mobile.
