Halo: Spartan Assault has officially arrived for Windows Phone 8 and Windows 8 in each platform's respective app store. Available now for £4.99, the game has been created specifically with touchscreen devices in mind.
It has been released to coincide with Comic-Con 2013, currently taking part in San Diego, and offers a different kind of experience to the normal Halo fare. It is a top-down shooter, built entirely from scratch for mobile devices by 343 Industries and is based in the early days of the Spartan Ops programme. Halo fans will find plenty of back story and extra details that they might not have seen or heard before.
