Like any other Halo game, you take the role of the futuristic human military outfit, the UNSC. Taking place twenty years prior to the original Halo: Combat Evolved, the story of Halo Wars is nothing special. Eight years later and it’s safe to say the same still rings true today with its new rerelease, Halo Wars: Definitive Edition. While it isn’t a direct translation of games like Star Craft, Halo Wars is a fairly accurate paraphrase of what makes them so great. Halo Wars was arguably the first great real-time strategy game for consoles. By simplifying the overly-complicated systems involved in many games of its genre it was able to do the impossible. This isn’t a scenario that plays out very often on your couch, fifteen feet away from your screen but against the odds Halo Wars pulled it off, along with many others. With the few remaining stragglers of your once powerful armada, you make a last ditch effort to rush the enemy while they regroup. With your back against the wall you readjust your strategy.
You were rocked to the brink of defeat but you’re not out of the game yet. In case you missed it, you can check out our review.Resources are low and your last line of defence just got wiped by an invading enemy push. Players are tasked with leading human soldiers aboard the warship Spirit of Fire to stop an ancient fleet of ships from falling into the hands of the genocidal alien race called the Covenant.ĭespite the fact that Halo Wars‘ original developer closed down before the game’s release, earlier this year 343 Industries and Creative Assembly released Halo Wars 2 on PC and Xbox One. Set within the same universe as the main Halo series, Halo Wars is set 21 years before the events of Halo: Combat Evolved. Initially released in February of 2009, Halo Wars is a real-time strategy game developed by the now-defunct Ensemble Studios and published by Microsoft Game Studios for Xbox 360 and PC.
