I was pleasantly surprised to see that Spartan Assault doesn’t include any gimmicky touch-screen minigame type features. Sam will provide more detailed impressions later today, but for now I’ll relay a quick observation: Once that wrapped, Microsoft passed around Surface Pro tablets so that we could all try the game for ourselves. The video portion of the presentation was actually delivered from a Surface Pro connected to a 70 inch television.
The Xbox 360 version was later delisted on December 18, 2020.During the reveal event, Sam Sabri, myself, and other members of the gaming press first watched a PowerPoint presentation highlighting Spartan Assault’s basic features.
The PC version was also released via Steam (the first game in the series to do so) on April 4, 2014. The game was later released for the Xbox One (on December 24, 2013), Xbox 360 (on January 31, 2014), and iOS devices (on April 16, 2015). In addition to a unique handicap-based difficulty system (utilizing the “Skull” system of traditional Halo games), the game supports paid microtransactions (for quick boosts, special abilities, and unique weaponry), leaderboards, cross-platform game saving, and integration with Halo 4 (allowing players to earn experience points and unique content for their respective Spartan Career). Players assume control over two SPARTAN-IV soldiers (Commander Sarah Palmer and recruit Edward Davis) as they defend the colonies of Draetheus V (and its moon, X50) from a Covenant splinter group two years after the end of the Human-Covenant War.
Set sometime during the SPARTAN-IV Program, the game’s narrative takes place in historical battle simulations on special datapads (the UNSC Tactical Simulator) aboard the UNSC Infinity. In addition to standard weapons, grenades, and melee attacks, players can also take control of vehicles and stationary turrets. Like traditional Halo games, players control Spartan super-soldiers and fight Covenant forces using a variety of Human and Covenant weaponry. A spinoff title in the Halo franchise, Spartan Assault is a “dual-stick” shooter originally geared towards mobile devices.
