D+PAD: Toy Soldiers Reviewed

With the game sporting high production values and an encouraging learning curve, it’s easy to recommend Toy Soldiers. It has the ability to entrap the more uninitiated of players into becoming immersed, and in this respect it would be an excellent starting point for those wanting to pursue the RTS genre further. The question of it being ‘hardcore’ enough for the more experienced tower defender is certainly open to debate – Toy Soldiers enjoys giving the players a seemingly more hands-on approach with regards to settling the conflicts the player is tasked with. At times though it lacks depth in comparison to its contemporaries, and one may not actually want to roll up their proverbial sleeves and get involved with the more pro-active tools on offer. Despite the unspectacular colour palette Toy Soldiers is buffed up to a glistening shine – it’s a supremely polished title which is yet more proof of download-only content becoming more and more significant in today’s market. The length and breadth of quality continues to swell, and if games like Toy Soldiers are mere hints at what is to come, then we’re in for some exciting times.
