    A solid mixture of polish, inventiveness, and just plain fun. Its blended style of fantasy and authenticity supplements its accessibility with pleasing flair.

    Toy Soldiers still has a lot to recommend it. The PC version comes with the Kaiser's Battle and Invasion DLC expansions, and its level designs have just enough variety to make at least one playthrough interesting. Some of those scenarios I'll probably come back to a few more times to improve my score. But still, Toy Soldiers is just a little too repetitive to enter the tower-defense hall of fame occupied by games like Defense Grid and Orcs Must Die! The clue is in the name: it's a brilliant toy, but just short of a truly great game.

    Nice combination of tower defense strategy with action elements has only minor issues connected to mouse control and camera glitches. [July 2012]

    The detail is there, but thanks to the mild handling and thin, generic audio, the magic isn't. [Aug 2012, p.97]

Well, it was amazing - huge game, superbly detailed and crafted game area with real attention to detail. No bugs at all that I saw. I played it all through then sat back happy. Then I realised ALL the DLC was included too, all for a fiver! Bargain of the year.… Expand

I like general style of the game and WWI theme, which is uncommon in videogames at this moment. The only distinctively irritating moment in gameplay is necessity of using tanks to destroy enemy armor; with time passing, it becomes boring.… Expand

    Toy Soldiers does what it wants to do: It wants to provide nice quirky fun, from anywhere to experienced players, to casual players.
    PROS:    Toy Soldiers does what it wants to do: It wants to provide nice quirky fun, from anywhere to experienced players, to casual players.
    PROS:
    +The art style is cute, and it makes you chuckle when ever you see an enemy soldier explode into springs and gears.
    +It is fun, it just makes you happy and it is extremely satisfying mowing down waves of enemies with a machine gun.
    +You have a lot of options; overall it is just an okay port, but they do have extra options you don't see in many other games.
    +Invasion mode is goofy and a challenge. Very silly fun!
    CONS:
    -The final level in the campaign is a major jump in difficulty. It has to be 90% impossible. I think you have to set everything up just right.
    -A few levels make you have to position everything 'just right'.
    If you want to have a cheap game that'll provide hours of fun - get it. If you like strategy games, what are you waiting for!?    … Expand

Plus it covers an area WW1 that is seriously neglected by the gaming industry. For the price you can't beat it and like a lot of people will find it a great little diversion. A hidden little gem!… Expand

It'sA great game, despite the GFWL integration, for every reason but one: the "there is no valid excuse for this on earth" terrible camera. It's abysmal, and completely prevents you from enjoying the game in any way whatsoever. If this isn't fixed by a patch, it's a criminal offence. DO NOT BUY THIS GAME UNTIL THIS IS RESOLVED. Now, to see about getting my money back...… Expand
