Mortars are your best bet against vehicles, but you’d better lay them down thick and get them upgraded if you want to stop the Kaiser’s boys in their tracks. Machine guns are mostly useless against vehicles, but essential for cavalry. Artillery can hit at a distance, but groups of enemies can sometimes filter past. The strategy is to anticipate what’s coming next and prepare for it. Waves of enemies queue up to take a run at your boys. As well, some missions provide you with tanks and planes so you can join the frontline. To do this, you have the best gear that WWI had available: artillery, mortars, machine guns, flak, and chemical weapons. You have one or more toy box entrances, and you need to keep the Huns from goose-stepping their way in. If you’re unfamiliar with the series, Toy Soldiers HD is a tower defense game. Because watching a person melt under the heat of a flame thrower is far less traumatizing when they’re made of metal. This might be why Toy Soldiers HD decided to depict the absolute horrors of that war with the use of miniature dioramas. So the war was slow, and everyone on the western front stood in mud, waiting for their turn to run at the machine guns and artillery through razor wire.
Everyone had their new toys out and was quickly trying to figure out how to use them. And for what? So we could get back at it for an encore twenty years later.Ī major issue was the use of 19th-century tactics with new 20th-century technology. Empires fell, borders were redrawn, millions died. World War I was a horrible, pointless war.

It’s actually a bit of give and take, but when it comes down to it, Toy Soldiers HD stands apart enough to justify its existence. Was it going to be any different? Were there any additions? So, going in, I didn’t know what to expect from this remaster. Toy Soldiers HD is particularly strange and vexing to me because, in 2016, we got Toy Soldiers Complete, which was a combination of Toy Soldiers and Toy Soldiers: Cold War. It’s a bit of a pet peeve of mine when a remaster of a game that was originally in HD is suffixed with “HD.” That doesn’t tell me anything.
