  1. After Plants Vs Zombie, Toy Soldier is one of the most intriguing Tower Defence of this generation.
  2. 80
    Toy Soldiers is a good start for Signal Studios. The game is accessible and looks good. If you have enough patience and a strategic view, then this is a must have for you!
  3. Overall this is a really fun game.
  4. Another one of the game's strengths lies in its presentation. Everything looks good! And not just for an XBLA title, but by any standard.
  5. But casual strategy fans will enjoy dispatching waves of cavalry, artillery, and airplanes in head-to-head online multiplayer matches. Just be prepared to take a few beatings while you find your footing.
  6. World War I has never been so much fun in this successful mix of Tower Defence and shoot 'em-up action.
  7. The mix of strategy and survival shooter works surprisingly well, some niggling flaws however stop this XBLA title living up to its full potential.
  8. With the game sporting high production values and an encouraging learning curve, it’s easy to recommend Toy Soldiers.
  9. 60
    Toy Soldiers just tries too hard to be different, in the end.
  10. A wonderful Tower Defense concept in a disappointing package. There's a lot of strategic potential here, but the levels often end when you are getting the grip on things.

  1. Now it's only 800 msp. Easily worth it if you're looking for a different experience set in a different era. Game captures the feel of the era with it's unique art style and music. That coupled with this not being a generic experience which you find with most games makes it a no brainer. If you're tired of the same here you go....going to be checking out Cold war later.

  2. who could actually say no to this game because they are literally like your own toys :) but I wished they made it some of it a tiny bit easier. why not have a game of it, it will make you happy Full Review »
  3. Intuitive , a different strategy game based on placing the artillery, soldiers etc . For instance it may sound hard, when I say that hordes of Nazis or whatever aren't stopping in an specific place, they don't do that, they come directly to you , so you need to stop them before they sabotage or enter your Toy Box. Heck, there's a Cold War game right now. Full Review »
