Like its predecessor "Spartan Assualt", the game is a from above "twin stick" shooter spin-off Halo game.
As mentioned in that review I recommend playing it with a Xbox-360/One Controller.
The story line is about palying as a Spartan/s, denying the enemies the conquest of Earth.
Now you will start to face the Prometheans, the enemies introduced in "Halo 4" and the graphics and overall game experience has improved with this installment.

There are still 30 missions, but the side-missions (still 3 per level) are now displayed with the start of each mission and if you replay the mission you can even track the progress towards each mission. This is a great improvement and the grind missions are fewer, but still some annoying ones. Overall I also felt that the difficulty was lower in this game eventhough I excpect theme to finish in about the same time. You can also make things easier by buying "perks-per mission"( do not remember what they are called) increasing damage or score awarded etc. This is really helpful for achieving some of the harder gold medals.
The game feels a little more original than "Spartan Assualt" but still greatly incorporates the weapons and armor-abilities mostly found in the original series.

• Halo spin-off game
  
• Better graphics than previous installment
  
• From above "twin stick" shooter
  
• 30 levels
  
• 20 achievements
  
• 5 hour story
  
• ~12 hours for 100% completion
  
• 3 side missions per level for a total of 90
  
• Side-missions can now be viewed when entering a mission, huge improvement over "Spartan Assualt"
  
• -Still some grindy unimaginative side-missions

Halo: Spartan Strike is an overall improvement to its previous installment "Spartan Assualt" which still is fun to play and well made. It further expands from and stays true to the Halo series giving a solid time-killer experience.
I highly recommend getting the bundle to get both "Halo: Spartan Strike/Assualt", it is only 4,99€ at full price which is quite cheap.
