Comprar Halo: Spartan Assault

Halo sempre foi uma franquia forte ! Todos os jogos da série são de arrepiar, viciantes,divertidos e muito envolventes.Halo Spartan Assaut com certeza é um a nível que deve ser considerado, embora tenha sido criado para plataformas móveis, possui toda a ação dos demais.Infelizmente não possuímos muitos para computador (somente 3),mas como esse é o primeiro e único na Steam deve ser muito considerado, principalmente pelo excelente custo benefício, para um jogo destes, está praticamente de graça !

Todo o pacote de armas convencionais do Halo, toda a ação, veículos e o melhor, a trilha sonora que lhe faz arrepiar de tão insana, não vi até hoje jogo que possui melhor OST que a franquia do Halo, toda a produção sinfônica realizada por instrumentos clássicos deixam a marca no jogo.Se engana se o jogo é curto, rendimento médio de 15 horas de gameplay, além das conquistas e desafios que podem ser realizados para acrescentar maior carga horária no game.

O único pecado é que o jogo não vem com o modo cooperativo para computador, triste saber que no xbox 360 essa função já vem de série.Muito mais que recomendado .Simplesmente um dos meus jogos favoritos acompanhados de Half Life e Metro 2033 !

Um jogo bem simples mais divertido!

Belo jogo, jogabilidade, gráficos, historia muito bom

F.A.Q. LOOKALIKE REVIEW:

Q: What is this game?
A: Halo Spartan Assault!

Q: What is about?
A: Heroes (Spartans) fighting against a special Microsoft's team (Covenants) to stop the developement of Windows ME for year 3000 (if you know Windows ME from 1999/2000 you know what I am talking about)

Q: Is it fun?
A: You kill stuff and a lot of things goes boom and bzaak and puuf....yes is fun!

Q: Any sexy chick in this game?
A: Yes....but with their armour on....PERVERT!

Q: Can I play sat upside down with a beer on my right and a piece of pizza on the floor that I will munch here and there during the gameplay and with a squirrel that will massage my feet?
A: Yes you can thanks to the controller

Q: Is this the usual Halo?
A: No it isn't...is not a story even...well it is....some sort of spin off before Halo 4....but the missions are pretty much linear and you will end in doing the same thing often.

Q: Will you be able to use huge space ships to nuke entire Worlds?
A: NO....SHAME ON YOU MICROSOFT!

Q: Is this better than Cooking Mama?
A: Depends...if you like to boil chickens, grill some hamburgers, cut some sausages and so on...you will probably not like this game.

Q: And what do you think?
A: If you are looking for an Halo game...well this could be actually a good spin off that will add more info about the original story. The game is fun but still it is a bit repetitive. If you like gaming you will end in trying to get all the stuff (medals, achievements, objectives and so on) if you aren't you will get bored a bit easily.

Q: Something missing from this game?
A: Co-op mode....shame for a game like this to not have Co-op for the story

Overall
Graphic 7/10
Sounds 8/10
Gameplay 8/10
Longevity 6/10

A fun and responsive top down shooter. Bizarre design choices and a weak story does not stop me whole heartedly recommending this game to anyone who likes this kind of thing. If you're a Halo fan you probably already own this. I would however advise buying this on a sale if you can help it as the games replay value is limited.

Now if MS would hurry up and get Halo over here on pc, that would be nice.




Halo Spartan Assault is a isometric top down shooter brought to you by 'Vanguard games', who holds reasonable pedigree, as they made the well received title 'Gattling Gears', another top down shooter.
Originally made for Windows Phone, then ported over to Windows 8, then to both generations of Xbox consoles, then finally to Steam, which means it will run on anything. Basically you'll find this title on virtually any reasonbly current gen platform you can find.

From the very start, you can tell this is a ported mobile game almost instantly. Giant menu buttons and a small array of graphical and audio options are not unexpected for these types of game. However it doesn't make it any more excusable. This stuff does not belong on pc and, where I can forgive a smaller company the lack of attention to detail, this is f***ing Microsoft and Co!

Controlling your Spartan is easy. WASD keys will move your guy around, while aim and shoot with the mouse. Pretty simple. Everything here feels tight and responsive. Quite an achievement for a top down shooter, where many a time you'll find yourself struggling to control a slow and unresponsive character.
Gameplay wise, this is about as good as you're going to get out of this genre. Good stuff!

Graphically, the game is very pleasing to the eye. It's by no means going to win awards. But it definitely has it's own style and charm to it. Everything here feels like Halo. Plasma grenades explode with a satisfying buzz Halo players will no and love, while the chatter of different weapons all feel hefty and interesting. One of Halo's greatest strengths is it's weapons variety and while it does taught some of the best weapons from the game, I was slightly disappointed they didn't include more weapon variety.
Also, due no doubt to this being originally a Mobile game, some weapons are extraordinarily overpowered (The automatic rocket launcher for example) This completely breaks the tactical nature of the game, and really only limits you to a few weapons which you'll either start with at the beginning of the level, or by unlocking them XP points. None of the guns enemies drop are worth anything. And they'll more than likely get you killed if you attempt to use them on harder difficulties.

This brings me to another strange design choice the game has. Instead of paying for an advantage, on console and desktop versions of the game, you can simply buy OP weapons with XP points you earn by repeating levels. This to me, feels sloppy and hurried. Maybe I was expecting too much, but it would have been cool to have some kind of progression system to unlock more guns. It would have lengthened the games longevity somewhat also.

The story here is about as by the numbers as you'll get. Rookie Spartan Sara Palmer gets into trouble with the covenant. Davis, and her fight back and win the day. Pretty standard stuff. This is by no means going to make you fall in love with the Halo lore if this is your first outing of Halo. Which it very well might be,given MS's track record of releasing Halo games on PC.

One massive, and rather nonsensical issue I have with the game however is that MS has actually made the decision to strip the CO-OP mode out of the game entirely. Unless you own the game on Xbox One, (which I do) you wont be able to play with friends. Aside from the extraordinarily short sighted design decision to rip pieces out of the game so the Next gen port would look more favorable, I can't think of single reason to do this. This severely hurt the games fun factor as two players really makes this one of the best top down shooters out there.

I'm sorry the Halo game you really wanted isn't available for Steam. And yes this is a mobile port.

Now that part's out of the way, Halo: Spartan Assault is a fun little top-down twin-stick shooter and it's a great deal for its already low price (and an even better deal during one of the frequent 75% off sales). It's short, but I don't really see that as a downside, personally. As someone with a fairly short attention span at times (like the times when I am awake), I like that Halo: SA is a game that I can pick up and run through a level in a few minutes.

The graphics are nice, particularly since this started in the mobile sphere. I played using an Xbox 360 controller and I didn't find the controls awkward at all, though it did take a few missions for me to get the hang of things. The music's also really good. The story is pretty basic, but you're a recruit in training in some sort of Halo universe thingie, and you are using the game to re-enact the historic battles of some heroic spartan assault in some futuristic past. Probably this all makes great sense if you're already a Halo fan. What you get is a nice little series of missions in which you are some kind of badass futuristic soldier tasked with clearing enemies, escorting vehicles, holding strategic points, destroying heavy weapons, etc.

The enemies, weapons, power-ups, and the missions themselves are all varied enough that it keeps things interesting as you progress through the 30 or so levels. Surprisingly, there's also quite a bit of replayability, whether it's trying to get gold stars on each mission, going for all the achievements and medals, attempting missions with the "extra credit" parameters, farming for XP to buy upgrades, or playing with various handicaps (skulls) turned on. In addition, once you factor in the muliple difficulty levels and the ability to compare your scores to those of your Steam friends, you can easily play through several times.

Add nice Steam integration features (trading cards, achievements, leaderboards) and the only reason not to get this one is (apparently, judging from the negative reviews and threads I see) if you are too busy crying that Micro$oft didn't put the Halo game you really wanted to play on Steam.

How do I teabag?

This is not a review, but I highly recommend this twin-stick shooter for the following reasons.

1. The story is set between the events of Halo 3 and 4.
2. Many enemies with different tactics.
3. Vehicles can be be driven on some of the maps.
4. Good selection of weapons.
5. Great music!

This game was pretty fun, I'll admit. However, it has some really short levels, aswell as being left in the dust compared to its Xbox One port content. Halo: Spartan Strike is going to be a DIFFERENT game, not DLC or anything for this game (They both look like the same game, or is it just me :/ ). We need more Halo games on Steam, with surviving communities that COULD be saved if Microsoft wouldn't be so blind and stupid! They pay billions for Minecraft, but say no to putting Halo 1 and 2 on Steam, the two Halo games that already have been ported and could be added within what, a week/month? Microsoft could make so much more money from two very loved games without losing a ton of money, but they choose not to. Oh, I could rant for HOURS, I should just leave it at that.

Port Halo 3 to PC

No, Master Chief is not here.

Halo: Spartan Assault is a SPIN OFF game (why are people still comparing this to Halo: Reach?) Anyways, for me, it's a fun top down shooter to kill time. In fact, this game captures the feeling of playing Halo games.
Grunts will panic like the cowards they are, Elites get pissed when you drain their shields, and let's not forget to mention the jihad grunts :3.

Overall, I recommend you pick this up if you want a casual arcade shooter with a Halo theme.

ok I bought it, now give me Halo: The Master Chief Collection

It's definitely not the Halo experience we were expecting for Steam or the PC, but in terms of the game itself, it's not too bad. Think of it as a top-down arcade game from the 80's, combined with the Halo lore. If you're a fan of Halo, you'll like it.

This game made me love Halo again. The Storyline is gripping, the visuals are insane for a top down shooter (I haven't played too many but this is one of the better ones!); overall one of 343's best works (It beats H4's singleplayer at any rate). Has convinced me to bring up my Halo 4 copy again, just to experience the Spartan Ops. Well worth the price.

For $5 you can't be beat, it's a great title and a must play for any Halo Fan (No Multiplayer in this edition unfortunately).







Also, MS, please, please, let me have my Halo CE on Steam (With a free Steam Key if I put my CD Key in somewhere)

Originally released for Windows 8 devices, it really was only a matter of time before Halo: Spartan Assault saw a wider release on Xbox consoles and PC. However, as it is not one of the main Halo flagship titles, it was easy to pass over this game without notice. So, in the end, is the game worth tracking down? Well…maybe if you are a hardcore Halo fan who absolutely needs to have something to fill the void until the next game is released.

Halo: Spartan Assault shares only the basic skeleton work with the other titles in the series – for one, this game is a top-down isometric twin-stick shooter. As far as the Halo universe is concerned, this actually makes for a fine fit – it plays very much like a Halo game, but viewed from a distance. The visuals are spot-on for the Halo games as well, as there are several parts in which every visible color in the light spectrum will be present on your screen at the same time. It’s a pretty game, to be sure, and I didn’t feel as if the environments were stale or boring.

Granted, that may have been because the game is very short, and you don’t spend more than five minutes in every level – typically, even less than that. This is the result of being designed as a mobile game, in which you tend to only spend a few minutes on a sporadic schedule to only finish a mission or two. The early missions will fly by and the game does scale up the difficulty with reasonable progression. I did experience a few deaths on the later missions, but that was primarily because of my own fault of trying to rush through a level and not paying attention to my Spartan abilities or avoiding enemy fire. Enemy types aren’t particularly varied throughout, though that is typical for the Halo franchise.

The story is barely serviceable, though hardcore Halo fans will probably want a look. I had to check online to figure out that this title takes place between Halos 3 and 4, when the newest Spartan volunteer program has been implemented and the elite super-soldier unit is growing once again. The missions alternate back and forth between Spartans Palmer and Davis, although there’s no real difference between the two other than a slight visual difference with their armor color and helmets. As it is a side-story, there is very little impact here in the grand scheme of things, and the game is mostly devoid of voice acting or cutscenes – most story information comes from in-game text before every mission, and I had to resist the urge to just skip through the handful of paragraphs that moves the story forward. Also, the game just ends without much fuss, which is disappointing.

It’s a very short, average game, but serviceable for five bucks or less. Not recommended unless you are very much invested in all things Halo – it can be skipped otherwise.

This game is a fun twin stick shooter with a good amount of content to play for only 5$. It keeps the halo graphic style looking good. The gameplay is fun if you enjoy twin stick games. The bad things would be that it has only a small amount of guns for you to use so the ones you have can get boring to use. but overall for the price it is a solid game and i hope to see some real halo games ported to pc in the future. 8/10

**5 Hours as of this review**

-Cricket Chirp- -Cricket Chirp- -Cricket Chirp- ..... Eh, it was okay for a port... I bought Halo: Spartan Assault for a buck when it was on sale, so I guess that was worth it. At first I was having a blast, but after a few levels, I began to realize, "It doesn't get any better than this." I stopped playing it for a month and then I returned for the hell of it. The game did prove to be entertaining, until the end. I didn't find any replay value anywhere. I don't personally like this game because I am familiar with the Halo franchise's history on the PC and Microsoft decisions regarding the situation. Overall though, its a good "time-killer" but I have little respect for its developers. I see it as, "After so many years of waiting, we get this??"

As a mobile game ported to the PC, this is pretty good.

As a Standalone PC game, it's fair as long as what you are expecting is a glorified arcade game.

As a game in the Halo franchise, you can tell it was made by Microsoft instead of Bungie and that they're only after money at this point. Granted, no one should expect amazing depth or creative storyboards out of a mobile-port game, nor intensely long missions, which is why I listed that it was a mobile port first.

That said, the graphics are pretty cool, the interface is decent and the only bug I've run into is that it seems to conflict with the Windows transparency graphics. So, you start your game, begin a mission, and about twenty seconds into it, the game will minimize and Windows will say it no longer has enough resources, which is BS, some games just make this error and it will only do it once per session. The problem is that, from that point, the game is small and windowed unless you reset the resolutions settings in the main menu. So, if you are mid-mission, it will be like that until the end. If you've spent resources on that mission because it's particularly difficult and keep failing it, you will lost those resources if you retreat to the main menu to make your game big again.

It's important to note that this is a top-down shooter, which means that being one millimeter off in your aim ends up being three million miles of difference by the time your shot reaches the edge of the screen.

It's also important to note that this game has no concept of "multiplayer" or "firefight". It's strictly highly structured missions. So it's got about fifteen hours of missions and challenges before it starts to get old.

Recommended, but don't expect much, and try to get it on sale.

Despite I am not a fan of isometric action games at all. This one is unique.
Beatiful backgrounds, vastly armored alien force, easy and simple gameplay in Halo universe.

Main campaign not so hard and can be complited for day, but if you going to get all achivements that can take few weeks. Main protagonist load-out can be changed between missons, also there a lots of modificators and skulls of challendge, which can turn most easiest mission in a struggle to survival and vice versa.

If have lost in your gane library by seeking some sci-fi game, give a try to this one.
