Good news for the gaming lovers; especially for the fans of Halo game series! Microsoft and the makers of Halo, 343 Industries, have unveiled the new game entry to Halo series, named as Halo: Spartan Assault. The game will debut exclusively on Windows 8 PCs and tablets in July this year.
There are several exciting features this Halo consists of. First of all, this is a touch-based and top-down shooter game. The game is the new chapter in the Halo Universe, which is set between the events of Halo 3 and Halo 4. Thus, those moving from Halo 3 to Halo 4 will find Halo Spartan Assault to be the bridging chapter between the two.
Windows talks more about this game:
“It explores the first missions of the Spartan Ops program and gives more back-story to the Human-Covenant conflict(s). You play Halo: Spartan Assault through the eyes of either Commander Sarah Palmer or Spartan Davis. You are stationed aboard the UNSC Infinity as you fight never-before-seen battles against Covenant forces.”
Halo: Spartan Assault is certainly an action packed game that has 25 missions in battles meant for single player. Players will experience a whole new Halo Universe that is never seen before. Players are offered top-down camera view that gives a thrilling experience to the players. Unlike other chapters of Halo, this game offers simplified and easy-to-use controls which are a fusion between touch and console-like controls. Windows tablets and PCs will have added mouse and keyboard utility features.
