Toy Soldiers: War Chest brings the nostalgia and mashes together your favorite toys from the 80's into a living room battlefield. With their own take on tower defense, Signal Studios doesn't depart much from their formula but cranks the knob on the nostalgia.
It feels like every form of media consumption these days - from TV shows and movies, to video games and even music - has taken a turn to harken back to the days when I was a kid. Sure, my demographic is the primary consumer of goods these days, but I can’t help but feel the shadowy hand of pandering in the attempts to sell me something simply...
It makes me happy to relay that we've received confirmation on the last couple of toy lines coming to the upcoming Toy Soldiers title, Toy Soldier: War Chest. What two properties could possibly contest the epicness that is G.I. Joe and He-Man? Well, two equally epic characters of course!
If Toy Story taught us anything, it's that children's toys can accomplish anything by banding together with the infinite power of friendship. Toy Soilders: War Chest aims to subvert that theme by having cherished childhood playthings blowing each other to pieces on brutal, plastic and rainbow filled battlefields. The tower defense/action game returns for the current generation, landing on Playstation 4, Xbox One, and PC sometime in 2015.
