How it feels

A fast-paced, arcade-style twin-stick shooter where you methodically clear waves of alien enemies across short, score-chasing missions.

What players say

Players say it is a decent twin-stick Halo spin-off that improves on Spartan Assault with more weapons and campaigns, though it feels repetitive and forces a grind for gold stars to unlock the final chapter. A few report performance quirks like maxing out the GPU and missing cloud saves.
