Telling them where to go, who to attack, and whether or not to use special skills the units have is simple as well, especially since individual troops usually have only a few functions. You can select them one by one of course, but you can also select troops in a small radius, select all troops currently visible on your screen, and command all your troops at once. Naturally, a controller will never be able to match how easy troop selection is with a computer mouse, but Halo Wars: Definitive Edition has many different options to help you select different members of your forces before giving them orders. You can often find new staging points to build new bases, but tactical considerations evolve from that as well, as a forward position might be a better building area for slow vehicles so they’re on the front line faster.īesides the constant consideration of what you’re building and what troops you’re creating, you’ll also need to command soldiers as they fight out in the field. Buildings are also necessary for things like technological upgrades that will let you build more effective units or research upgrades, but then for things like troop training and vehicle construction, you must also have the appropriate locations in your base.
Resource accumulation is thus incredibly important, and while you can find a bit in the environment and start with a good amount in most situations, a lot of its gradual acquisition involves you building special attachments to the base to generate supplies. You will always start with one base to get things rolling, but from there the player needs to be smart about what new buildings they build, how many resources they spend creating forces to defend it, and they need to balance their own forward pushes to take down the enemy while ensuring that they aren’t spread too thin and left vulnerable. Shifting away from Halo’s usual approach of focusing on one soldier tearing through the ranks of the enemy, Halo Wars has the player in control of military strategy, their focus on tasks like establishing bases and allocating resources towards troop deployment and vehicle construction in order to help push back against the enemy’s forces.

The first spin-off game for the Halo series would choose to make things a bit more tactical, with the Xbox 360’s Halo Wars taking the franchise into the real-time strategy genre, and now with Halo Wars: Definitive Edition, all the DLC has been rolled into the base package to be enjoyed on the more modern Xbox One. Considering that the sci-fi shooting franchise Halo is essentially what put the original Xbox on the map as a console worth getting, it’s no surprise that such a monumentally successful series would soon try to branch away from its alien-shooting action into other genres to try and rope in new types of players while keeping the brand loyalists on board as well.
