Metro GameCentral: 5 / 10 by David Jenkins

Still essentially the same game as released on mobile, but at twice the price and with microtransactions that are even more cynically-designed than usual.

Polygon: 4 / 10 by Philip Kollar

Spartan Assault's simple gameplay and broken economy misses what's special about Halo

Gaming Nexus: 4.9 / 10 by Nathan Carter

If you own a Windows tablet or Windows phone, just play this on those devices instead if you must. Even if you are a huge Halo fan, there is absolutely no reason to shell out $15 for this game when you can play the exact same game for $7 on mobile devices. It's a shame because I feel like Halo: Spartan Assault could have been a great game if they took the time to add more features to the game. Make the game more challenging, add tons of new levels, make the game feel like a real twin stick shooter where I am shooting all over the screen to avoid being killed. That, to me, would have been worth the price increase, but as it stands, Halo: Spartan Assault on Xbox One is just an expensive port of a game that was released months ago.
