Halo Spartan Strike (PC, Mobile)
A unique announcement: This game is now delayed until 2015, despite being set to release this Friday, most likely for 343 to put more effort into fixing the multiplayer issues on Master Chief Collection, so if you were on the lookout for this game this week and don’t see it on the market, this is probably why! But fear not, they’ll get to finishing Spartan Strike soon…
A sequel to 2013’s Halo: Spartan Assault, Spartan Strike is the Windows exclusive follow up to the “twin stick” overhead shooter style, now with an upgraded look, improved and intuitive touch controls and plenty of extras. The new story pits the Spartans against the Covenant once again, in a simulation of the events of New Mombasa during Halo 2.
