GR:
Games often try to mask familiar mechanics behind a novel premise or setup to varying degrees of success. Toy Soldiers: War Chest exists somewhere in the middle, a game that occasionally falters in its adherence to the tower defense formula, but also feels refreshing with its nostalgic toy box setting. War Chest's emphasis on direct control helps alleviate some of the gameplay concerns that stem from the tower defense genre, and yet tedium still rears its ugly head. The genre/setting dichotomy results in a game with its fair share of ups and downs.
The second day of our GOTY feature brings a second set of categories and one very long listening party. Strap in!
Toy Soldiers: War Chest is a tower-defence game. Well, in this case it is more of a box defence game since the objective is to defend your base which is a toy box. By using a variety of turrets and similar weaponry, you combat waves upon waves of enemies, in two main modes, being story and survival mode, which are pretty much self-explanatory.
I bought this and it is a crap game. It did not make the transition to Current Gen well at all. Graphics look dated and glitchy, controls are laggy and the action is too repetitive. Believe the reviews.
