Toy Soldiers a Cold War Review

In 2010, convinced that the developers Signal Studios as one of the new masters of the tower defense genre with their highly stylized hit Toy Soldiers. In addition to the stunning visuals of the game's unique and toy-box theme, Toy Soldiers also featured incredibly thrilling gameplay, enhanced by the innovative concept that allows players to actually hop in different parts of the game turrets and vehicles. Given the success of the original, a sequel was inevitable, but surprisingly the First World War-era tin soldiers are melted from the last game, the latest edition flashing us perhaps the most unfortunate period in American pop culture.

The main feature of the Toy Soldiers series is still the ability to jump and control tower to create, and learn to control these different weapons are an important part of the game. In most Tower Defense games, players learn the endless waves of spawning bad guys fear, but by mechanical instead I found myself eagerly joining the anticipation, ready to jump into my machine and pull apart the Russian bastards. Although the AI ​​power towers, they are nowhere as effective as a human hunter. This is especially true for anti-tank and mortar tower, which actually allows players to control ordinance against enemy troops, so to find damage. This is honestly one of the most exciting features of the game, and learn to ride a rocket all the way across the map to snipe recently aquariums is an important skill.More latest Film and game Reviews...
