IGN: 6.7 / 10 by Justin Davis

Spartan Assault features flashes of frantic Halo brilliance, but skip the touch controls. Play with mouse + keyboard!

Critical Hit: 5.5 / 10 by Gavin Mannion

In the end the game isn't bad but unfortunately I just found it a little boring and that to me is one of the worst things a game could be.

Digital Spy: 2 / 5 by Liam Martin

Ultimately, however, it feels like a mobile game, containing breezy missions that aren't much to look at and provide little in the way of a challenge. Oh, and it costs twice the price to access.
