The value story

November 2020 is where it bottomed out, at $0.74. Its cuts run 73 percent off as a rule. There have been 62 in the 11 years tracked, about 8 weeks apart.

On value it sits in the top 33 percent of its genre. It is cheaper than 89 percent of its genre. Among the games that feel like it, X-Morph: Defense ($19.99, scores 68) beats it on value, while it beats Halo: Spartan Assault ($0.80, scores 53).

Steam's global achievement data puts about 10 percent of players at this game's ending achievement. On a 4.6-hour game, the hours short of it still count in its price per hour. This site sampled 521 of its Steam-purchase reviews; 2 were written by buyers who refunded it, sampled from reviews written March 2020 to September 2026. Inside the two-hour refund window, 72 percent of the 457 reviews written there were positive, against 79 percent overall, and those are 28 percent of everything written about it.

Finishing takes 4.6 hours; clearing it takes 13, which is 2.8 times the campaign.

At 4.6 hours it is a handheld-sized game, and Valve rates it Deck Verified.

More Covenant, more Prometheans, and exactly the same camera angle that makes you feel like you're operating a very expensive military-themed Roomba." Honestly? I respect the commitment. You play as a Spartan running around from a top-down...

Nota Geral | Overall Rating ⭐⭐⭐ Halo: Spartan Strike é basicamente mais do mesmo em relação ao Spartan Assault, o que não é exatamente um elogio. A 343 Industries mantém a fórmula top-down praticamente intacta, com pequenos ajustes que não chegam a justificar uma experiência muito distinta do primeiro spin-off. Funciona como mais uma dose rápida de ação no universo Halo, mas continua sendo um jogo que "não fede nem...

Frustrating, boring, unfair, poorly designed, unoriginal and not worth any amount of money. Don't bother.
