This is also a fun time. I think Assault had much better presentation, but Strike also was a fun experience. Both of these games are fun little spinoffs that no one really talks about. Which is a drag, because here's two really neat Halo games in a different genre that reminds me of contra, dead ops arcade or another fun xbox game called Aqua. Halo Spartan Strike is a fun game that makes 343 Reclaimer Era Halo fun and interesting with Prometheans that act like fun enemies with distinct ranks, and they had the brutes in the covenant. Now if someone can make this into a Halo 4 mod or something, I think we'd be set. If not, then whatever. I still got this game that did right, and another too.

So immediately, it's another simulation, with a pretty copy pasted set up, but you do get to revisit some old Halo 2 and a few new Halo 4 locations that we didn't get to see during the main games, and see what else was going on during the Bungie games. I'm glad to be back in New Mombasa, and the maps in it were pretty fun. I also got to go to a Halo ring which is nice, and kick some of the ghost bionicles into pieces, although the requirement to gold star everything to get the ending was pretty dumb. Assault didn't lock anything behind stars, so Strike doing that was just a major turn off.

Since this was a mobile game, some of the crappy parts seemed to seep in more than Assault. I hate when mobile games pull a cheap shot difficulty spike like that, so doing that here was also annoying. They made some improvements to the core game while locking the 6th chapter off, which really didn't have much for the work it took. If I wanted a congrats, it'd be better coming from cortana, or if they were going to pull a last minute plot twist and the UNSC simulations erased and censored a guy who heroically sacrificed himself to make Palmer look better like the last game, that'd make more sense, but that wow moment never happened. Super lame. It's basically just a generic congrats of: "oh the good guys won and everyone lived happily ever after" and you get kicked back to the main menu. Super low energy.

So unlike Assault, I didn't enjoy it as much because of the ending BS spike, but they improved the game in a few areas by fixing a lot of the input lag and weird delays, added some new guns and more of the aliens from the other games, and made more levels on different planets, so I can recommend, but I gave up and didn't bother gold starring this game. It's basically the same as Assault in terms of a sequel but with new levels and toys to play with, so by all means, fun times for cheap.
