Spartan Assault players can boost their point gain by equipping skulls, the classic Halo modifiers that make the game more difficult while multiplying experience. We were told the upgrades that require players to spend real money are designed to make the game much easier, and based the purchasable options in the demo, will represent the majority of unlockables. Players will have access to classic Halo weapons in Spartan Assault through unlocks, some of which can be earned by racking up points through gameplay and others which can only be purchased through microtransactions.
The developer held back on a few unlockable items, a rep said, apparently an attempt to incentivize Halo fans to take a chance on the arcade-style Halo game - and maybe Windows 8 as a platform. The new content unlockable through Halo: Spartan Assault is new and exclusive, according to 343 Industries. The Windows 8 game will also feature daily and weekly challenges, and taking part in these events can net players unlockable rewards in Halo 4 and Halo Waypoint. Players will be able to jump into these missions and battle waves of Covenant while escorting troop transports, piloting classic Halo vehicles or rendezvousing at a landing site. Spartan Assault's operations, with names like Umbra, Captured Chance and Frostbite, are presented as missions in a UNSC tactical simulator. Fleshing out Spartan Assault's narrative will be a comic book mini-series from Dark Horse Comics titled Halo: Initiation which serves as a prologue to the spin-off game. Players will battle Covenant forces as either Commander Sarah Palmer or Spartan Davis in "never-before-seen" battles, Microsoft says. The Windows 8 game will be set between the events of Halo 3 and Halo 4, touching on the early days of the Spartan Ops program. Halo is going mobile with Halo: Spartan Assault, a new game in the franchise bound exclusively for Windows 8 tablets, smartphones and PCs.ĭeveloped by Vanguard Games ( Gatling Gears, Greed Corp) and 343 Industries, Halo: Spartan Assault is a twin-stick-style, top-down arcade shooter that, over the course of 25 missions, will recreate classic battles fought by the UNSC.
