You start each round with a set amount of money and you earn more to further fortify your defenses with each enemy slain. On the whole, the controls work well, though aiming with the sniper rifle can be a bit finicky at times. This can feel a bit odd as everything uses the left stick and the shooter in me is far more used to the right stick for moving the camera around to aim my shots. There are gunners, mortars, heavy cannons, gas cannons, sniper towers, biplanes, and more to control directly. The game is described as a 3 rd person action-strategy game as it mixes up tower defense with direct control over multiple types of combat. When you take over a fortification or use a sniper tower though it immediately shows its age with texture work that looked bad at the time it was released. Performance is solid on my Series X as one would hope, and when you’re zoomed out it looks passable. This was a lower-budget Xbox Live Arcade title and it shows. The textures though are rough, and it is not much of a looker. The game is running at a higher resolution and at 60 frames per second which are both major improvements from the 360 version of the game. It still holds up quite well eleven years later too, though this is no remaster.
Using what are now familiar mechanics this tower defense, shooter, and dogfighting hybrid was lauded. The original release of Toy Soldiers was a surprise hit.
