Halo: Spartan Assault
697 critic reviews·Jul 17, 2013·Microsoft StudiosPCXbox 360Xbox One“Spartan Assault is a fairly weird release in general. Not only does it feel like it could have been a completely new IP, but I’m not sure who the audience is, given the strong console allegiance of the Halo franchise.”
